Your top 3 acts from Glastonbury 2023

[fat_man_joe]

Come on then, drop your lists here. For me (in no order):

1. The War On Druga
2. The Hives
3. Ezra Collective (Shangri-La set)

Controversially, I didn't see Elton, so I'm not suggesting anything beat that.

[collectivisedfarming]

1. Sparks

2. Speakers Corner Quartet

3. The Comet is Coming 

Elton was great also, glad I stayed for whole set. Nobody really blew me away but equally I don't think I saw anyone I really didn't like. Maybe Manics (iffy sound, odd setlist choices), but even they were enjoyable. Would have preferred Earl Sweatshirt to do some more songs and less dicking about but still decent.

As a die-hard Manics fan I was pleasantly surprised by them. I've accepted they're not quite what they used to be, but thought it was a great show this time around. I was quite happy with the setlist as love to see The Holy Bible get some love. Although The Anchoress's take of This Is Yesterday was a bit naff live.

I should say that #2 and 3 may not have been the greatest gigs ever, but were all about the experience. It was our 11 year old son's first Glastonbury and great to share these moments with him, especially GnR who blew him away as it was his first ever huge rock gig.
