Your Glastonbury A to Z

[Gnomicide]

A Glastonbury version of that old Twitter/Facebook thang that's doing the rounds again.

Can you complete the alphabet with acts you've seen at Glastonbury?

My effort:

Anti-flag
Beans on Toast
Cure
Danny and The Champions of The World
Elbow
Frank Turner 
Gorillaz 
Hold Steady
I
Jesse Malin
Killers
Libertines 
Metallica
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds 
O
Paul McCartney 
Q
Rolling Stones
St Paul and The Broken Bones 
Toots and The Maytals
U2
Vintage Trouble
Wilco Johnson
X
Yes Sir Boss
ZZ Top 

 

It seems most acts I've seen start with a B or M.

Just to be clear I assume we do record store rules where "The" doesn't count and we go by surnames?
