I've missed most of them over last decade or so, and before that when I did used to go I still managed to miss a lot of the headliners...but I'll go for
1. Bowie
2. Stevie Wonder
3. Coldplay (yes really, first time they headlined before they got silly)
4. Gorillaz (the guests...I mean you have Mark E Smith, Sean Ryder, Lou Reed and Bobby Womack fgs)
5. The Cure (1990)
lol, this is this festival "particularity" : it's mostly Rap and Rock, everyday (with a little bit of pop or electro)
4 stages, including one which always is rock or metal.
I didn't say she was gonna pull one of the biggest crowds at glastonbury though did I? I said it reinforced to me how popular she is currently that an non headliner could pack a field like that . You're arguing against something I never said. She will get a huge crowd is she plays though
I've only been to the last 2, but saw a few pyramid headliners each time-
1. Elton John (2023) - just felt super euphoric the whole way through. banging setlist. Quite possibly the biggest crowd ive ever seen anywhere.
2. Dua Lipa (2024) - really got into her music before the fest so was really excited, and it delivered! sounded great, played all the bangers. Also loved the slighty more clubby/dancey vibe she went for.
3. Coldplay (2024) - not a huge fan but never seen them so appreciated that they played all their big hits. Were pretty good I thought, if a little bland.
4. Arctic Monkeys (2023) - im so done with this band. seen them plenty live and they get consistently worse each time. I get the vibe that they just cant be arsed anymore. Setlist was fine and sounded OK, but we all know they could do far better.
Didnt stay for all of these so probably unfair to rank them but:
SZA (2024) - just popped over briefly and she seemed decent, felt bad for her with the crowd/sounded sitch.
Guns n Roses (2023) - stayed to hear Welcome to the Jungle. Heard it, then immediately left for the SEC lol
