Your top 3 acts from Glastonbury 2023

[kalifire]

DJ Yoda is a great shout but Stonebridge is still way too small so I didn’t get near his hip hop set. Great to hear it was good! 

[rwoo]

1. Lizzo (holy sh*t that was good!)

2. Fred

3. Texas

[4AssedMonkey]

I enjoyed a lot this year, but in terms of where I had the most fun it’s:

1. The Hives (obvs)

2. Texas/Churnups as a twofor 

2. Lizzo.

Mainly as we were all together in a big group singing and dancing around like crazy with big smiles on our faces.

Honourable mentions to Rina Sawayama, Elvana and The Hu for also bringing something special.

[tom22]

1. Elton, had real vibes of a performance people will be talking about for decades, he smashed it

2. Badly Drawn Boy, forgot how much I used to love his music, and first time I've even been in the Acoustic Tent. Brilliant

3. Hives. Saw them in the same slot in 2013, theyre the most fun live band I've ever seen, top class.

[Aragorn]

Chemical brothers DJ set at arcadia was immense. They did a mix of hey boy hey girl that blew me away at the time. Tried to upload it. 

[JayDiesel]

Saw as much as I could possibly force my little legs to get me to, think I managed about 14/15 full sets by by the end of the weekend, which I was happy with.

1. Shame - Genuinely think it was the best live show I've ever seen, the amount of energy they give off is off the scale.

2. Elton - Utterly iconic, once in a lifetime show that I bagged a great spot for.

3. Lana - Cut off obviously taints it, but the acapella Video Games singalong after was phenomenal, and the set up to that point was utterly engrossing

[Andeeroo]

1. Los Bitchos

2. Lizzo

3. Yusuf

Special shout outs to The Big Moon, Showhawk Duo on The Bandstand, Last Dinner Party and Loyle Carner also.

 

[lendan]

Foo fighters (we were right at the front)

Elvana - a really fun set, 

Tom Grennan 

TBH the only set we didn’t enjoy was Stefflon Don

[Amy Lawn]

Rina, Young Fathers and CMAT for me

really saying something that Ezra Collective hasn't made the top 3, they were sensational, life affirming, and not even the third best thing I saw. This is why we will beg, borrow and steal, sell organs, go to whatever lengths to go back there every year.

Huge shout out to Carly Rae Jepsen, Elton, Fever Ray, Adwaith, and big Mickey Eavis kareoke and all. You kids all killed it, I couldn't be more proud of u

The "I got there only for a few songs but holy sh*t they were on fire" prize goes to Nova Twins, Joey Bada$$ and Amadou & Mariam this year.

[4AssedMonkey]

Forgot to include Nova Twins. They smashed it.

[Andre91]

Only watched at home but: 

1. QOTSA 

2. Rick Astley & Blossoms 

3. Loyle Carner 

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

We were so impressed by literally everyone we saw!! 

Top 3 for me though would have to be:

1. ELTON!! (Just magical)

2. Lottery Winners up at Strummerville on Thursday eve

3. Mel C 😊

(But also a special mention for Gentlemans Dub Club, Shangri-la on Friday night. Really loved that too!)

1: Elton (from 9.40pm onwards) We were up in row mead and the sound was awful. Too many people talking and not even listening. Once we moved we got a great spot near one of the second speaker just as Are you trashy for love came on. Then it went OFF!

2: Guns n roses. Somehow got ten rows from the front. Bucket list level of amazing.

3: Foo Fighters: You can’t not! They were boss

Lottery winners were ace up there!!! Worth the 2 hour wait!

[Miathedog]

1. Elton

2. Foos

3. Nova Twins (wow!)

honourable mentions to Rick Astley and Sophie EB for starting the days with a party, and Showhawk Duo on the bandstand was great fun. Royal Blood were great too, and we all thoroughly enjoyed GnR! 

[JAlexander191]

So difficult! We had the best weekend!

1. Lizzo

2. The Lathums

3. Elton

[fingers_mark]

1 Young Fathers

2 CMAT

3 Elton John

Honourable mentions to Ben Bohmer, The Hives, Pale Blue Eyes, Working Men's Club, Rozi Plain, Kenny Beats

[panda97]

Only watched on TV and still plenty to watch but so far in no particular order

Elton John
Rina Sawayama
Fred Again

[balti-pie]

🤘Ah, this is tricky: but right now I’d go for; 

 

1) Elton Hercules John. Just so big and iconic, everything was perfect (ok, maybe not the guests etc, but if he wanted to do it, then who am I to argue 🤣) 

2) Kelis was just great in every way - the crowd were ace, the atmos was lovely, she was amazing, and my favourite Kelis track got spliced with my fave Wu-Tang tune and my head nigh on exploded with the awesomeness 🥳

3) ho99o9 on the truth stage - fag paper between them and Skindred, both were amazing and especially one after the other - I finished my shift at 9:45 and legged it from the other side of the site, making it in time courtesy of 2 x canned bangers of imperial stouts and getting my hike on. Ho99o9 are incendiary and so energetic live they even got me leaping around in a moshpit despite my f**ked legs and feet! 
 

few other seriously excellent mentions - Young Fathers, lil nas x, the Hu, Elvana, not a single bad vibe at any of the performances I saw. Always west holts for the best atmosphere though, in front of the mixer is such a brilliant place to be 

[KingoStarr]

So I split mine into 3 you can watch on iPlayer should you wish and 3 you sadly wont be able to 

Available to watch on iPlayer

1. Elton 
2. Foos
3. Third World - was really looking forward to this but was absolutely flawed by the surprise song toward the end, close to tears
4. Teskey Brothers - OK so I did 4 but I love the Teskey Brothers and I hadn't seen them before and they absolutely delivered on the big stage

Sadly not able to watch

1. Jake Shears - phenomenal super high energy set and the crowd were matching it was so fun to be at
2. Sam Brookes - bandstand, seen him 3 times just a massive fan of the lyricism
3. Planeta Polar - Lizard stage, not sure how to describe this other than great fun if you were there you'll know what I mean 

[Respectfatfrog]

Foos 

Cat stevens 

Elton 

All at the pyramid I know but it worked for me this year 

[Ricci's Special Kebabs]

1. Elton

2. Rick and The Blossoms

3. Hot Chip

[westholtschic]

Sparks, 

Yusuf

I liked AM but didn’t hit my expectations.  I thought it was going to be an all-timer
