How many of the lineup have you already seen?

[JamboNelly]

Foo Fighters- a few times. Not to fussed about them now but when they supported Prodigy back in the day stands out.

Kaiser Chiefs- saw them open the NME tour that Killers headlined. Loved them then but I've since grown up!

Royal Blood- give me Drenge any day.

Courteeners- only have 1st album and saw them on that tour at Astoria (rip) and enjoyed.

Sleaford Mods- support for Libs. Awfu!

Dizee- lost count. Been a fan since first album and never let me down. Doesn't seem to be getting much love here but he's always good fun at Glastonbury.

Biffy- Seen at Reading and Glastonbury 2011. Can take them or leave them but honestly thought the Glastonbury 2011 set was one of my favourite of whole weekend.

So, I'd say about 90% of people have seen Kaiser Chiefs already.

80% of those didn't do so intentionally because they were supporting/at a festival.

99.9999% are "not that bothered about seeing them again but wouldn't break down in tears if I had to stand there with a friend."

Obviously none of these 'friends' belong on the efest boards!

Only 9 acts for me, many from previous Glastonbury's, only multiple acts being Radiohead, First Aid Kit, Goldfrapp and, you've guessed it, with some very good friends of mine on a few occasions those cheeky Leeds boys

Flaming Lips, Father John Misty, Ed Sheeran, and Halsey. the only one that I would not seek out at Glasto is Halsey but only because she is not my genre and there are many, many more that are. Did I say Faming Lips? Saw them a couple of  times. Always a great time. I am excited for Glasto for that reason alone. I am also excited to see stuff that I do not have a clue who they are. That is the fun of it, right? Woot! woot! Tickets are paid for. I am going to Glastonbury!

Imagine it's 2017, you're booking a festival and not only do you get on the dog and bone to The Voice and the lads, but you only go and put them on the sodding poster as well.

Brexit in action.

[rebeccaa94]

[sedra]

About 18 from this poster but there will be lots more not on there - Billy Bragg for example! 

[John the Moth]

Only 10...

Foo Fighters - Always a great show, will be there again.

Ed Sheeran - when he was mid pyramid a few years ago, caught 2-3 songs before wandering away, meh.

The National - disappointing at Reading 2011, zero stage presence. Although the fans over on the band thread assure me that was a blip and that they've improved that side of things. Really enjoyed catching up with them on record so might give them another go.

Biffy Clyro - loads of times, always great, preferred the earlier smaller shows, recent tours suffered from lack of intimacy. Hoping they're on other against Edward Shebot.

Father John Misty - saw once, really on form with some great banter. Disappointed to see him making a dick of himself since and new album ain't no "Honeybear".

Kaiser Chiefs - seen a few times always at festivals, never their own show "Mostly harmless".

Dizzee Rascal - supporting Muse, bit baffling why. I was not offended.

Royal Blood - epic gig in John Peel Tent, hope to catch them again at the farm.

George Ezra - lounging at my tent next to John Peel tent when he came on early in the day, sounded good, but never really took to him. Inoffensive. 

Warpaint - absolutely blinding set in the NME tent at Reading a few years ago, and a great set on the Other a last time at the farm. Love these girls!

[LondonTom]

Foo Fighters: Reading 2012, was amazing, I'm not a massive fan on record but they bring it live.

Ed Sheeran: Some charity type gig before he got massive, wasn't too bad but it was only about 40 minute set or so, the next time I sort of saw him was at BBC Big Weekend Hackney and he was teaching the crowd to harmonize which sounded god awful

Biffy Clyro: 5/6 times. I'm huge fan so feel a little biased, while their later albums are not as good they have a few tunes and still bring it live!

Royal Blood: Glastonbury, meh standard indie guitar band filler at a festival

Chic: 3/4 times now Glastonbury, BST, Bestival.... Act has got a bit tired now, but the first time headlining West Holts was just amazing, pure party music but wouldn't go see for a while now.

Mazor Lazer: Bestival 2014, Confusing and felt like an old man as it was all kids on MDMA while I was necking a smuggled in can of lager. Just don't get it

Run The Jewels: Tonight, Roundhouse: Just amazing, managed to get a Saturday London gig properly moving and up for it.

Pheonix: Glastonbury headlinign JPT, love them on record but couldn't get into on the JPT just didn't have the right feel was okish

First Aid Kit: Glastonbury, pleasent afternoon act

Justice: 2 times, once at thier own and the last 20 /30 minutes at Reading 2012. Just outstanding for a DJ act, if you like their music you will love them live.

Haim: Glastonbury Other Stage, Decent enough indie afternoon filler. Plus Bass Face girl is hot.

Warpaint: Glastonbruy, excellent live though you'd have to like them before hand to get them I think

Metronomy: Glastonbury/BST and Brixton by the time of Glastonbury. One of my currently favorite live bands to see, in that indie/dance genre and boy do they make you dance

Kate Tempest: Glastonbury The Park, couldn't think of a better placed act, only went up there to chill but ended up at the front, was excellent and with a message

Clean Bandit: Bestival: A bit shit

George Ezra: Glastonbury JPT, dull indie act but ok if nothing else on

Songhoy Blues: Glastonbury Pyramid, brilliant band discovered on Efestivals and had to see them, really energetic and looked proper pleased with their early slot on the pyramid

Kaiser Chiefs: A few times at festivals, gradually got worse over the years but I liked them when I was 18 so have a certain nostalgia value, good for a good shout along.

Wild Beasts: Bestival, Glastonbury, Brixton...I adore these, they have got more "normal" recently but I still love them, they have some beautiful songs as well stuff to sing along to. Outstanding.

Circa Waves: Glastonbury JPT, surprisingly good Indie Outfit but if you are into that/clash you won't miss much

The Avalanches : Field Day 2016, literally played off a CD little point if that is the live act but they had some sort of visa problem

Temples: Filed Day 2014: Surprisingly decent indie despite being pretend psychedelic band  Enjoyable afternoon sunshine act

22/88 ...not bad going!!

Probs only KP, Goldfrapp, the National and Shaggy I want to see who I haven't seen before

 

[DJ Cull]

I've seen 23 of the announced so far, without listing them all here's some comments on the less obvious ones:

Future Islands - saw them at BST Hyde Park, knew absolutely nothing of them and was completely captivated for the whole set. The guy is fascinating to watch.

Loyle Carner - already made one of my favourite albums of the year, I've seen him about 4 times live and he's just great. IMO better than the grime stuff, although I saw Skepta & his crew at Field Day last year and they were great too.

Glass Animals - saw them a couple of weeks ago at Brixton, really good live

Run The Jewels - seen them 3 times so if there's a big clash I'll miss them, but they'll be fantastic as always

Thundercat - saw him in a short support slot with Flying Lotus - good but not sure he'll hold the attention for a full set

Songhoy Blues - seen them 3 times, the happiest,  danciest 'Blues' you'll ever see

The Killers, The Futureheads, Bloc Party and Kaiser Cheifs was so exciting at the time, wouldn't touch it with a bargepole now.

Haha your spot on.

Was a huge deal at the time.

[Dave_c]

About 10 or so. To be totally honest there isn't much on the line up that is interesting me but I suppose it's because I'm not familiar with most of the acts so it's probably a good opportunity to discover new music. I'm really not into any of this grime carry on so will be avoiding that like the plague. 

[clarkete]

F*cked  if I know 

I'm always amazed at how many people here remember what they saw and can recall what year each was. 

I of course remember the highs and lows, everything else is on old clashfinders somewhere (potentially dog eared and weathered copies like old parchment) 

[Trout Mask Replica]

Radiohead x2 - Blackpool and Edinburgh c2006.

Foo Fighters -  c2002. 

Ride, c1992

Cinematic Orchestra, c2005

Sasha N Digweed, c1994

British Sea Power, c2016

So many others I've been waiting a long time to see. 

[BlueDaze]

Seen 19 on the poster...

Hoping to see these again : The National, The XX, Chic, Sleaford Mods, First Aid Kit, Laura Marling..

Aiming to see these for the first time : Royal Blood, Jacksons, Glass Animals, Kate Tempest, Sampha..

Trying NOT to accidentally wander into : Clean Bandit, George Ezra, Ginger Ed

Praying for dry weather (it doesnt need to be full on blazing sun but last years sticky mud did for me..)

 

[Quark]

Assuming we're just doing confirmed acts...

Alt-J: pyramid 2013, though they were ok. Technically good but didn't quite grab me, probably need to pay more attention to them to enjoy it more.

#rightbazza: only when he joined Coldplay last year. I mean, it's Barry fuckin' Gibb, but his voice worries me

Biffy: 'secret' set on the Park in 2010. I'd gone for a doze on the hill and woke up to everything kicking off so wasn't really paying attention! Seemed good though.

Blossoms x2: boring on the Other last year, much better at Pilton Party later in the year. Hope they're on JP, atmosphere suits them better.

Chic: 2013 West Holts. Party party party.

Circa Waves: JP 2015. Really enjoyed them, but don't like the new material as much so we'll see.

Dizzee: Pyramid think 2009. Crowd going with loads of energy, certainly fun to watch!

Foos x2: V97 and Wembley 2008 ish. You do know what you'll get. Enjoyable.

Girl Ray: supporting Ten Fe this year. Nice sound but no stage presence, pretty dull sadly

HAIM: Pyramid 2013 (?) seem to remember them being ok.

Really looking forward to this year as there are so many bands I've never seen.

And for the record, I've never seen Kaiser Chiefs. It's not a run I'm intending to break either.
