The Mel C / Fred combo was good fun albeit with a bit of queuing inbetween - I had to look at clashfinder to try and figure out what I saw!

 

Justice did not hit the spot - were great at APE in August though afterwards 🙂

I have a vague memory of stumbling across Back to the Planet late one night/early morning sometime in the early 90’s. Guess that was it

1. Struggling to separate Pet Shop Boys in 2022 and LCD Soundsystem in 2016, both Other. Musically LCD shades it but for fun/nostalgia/atmosphere/friends it's PSB. So we'll stick with tied.

3. Chemical Brothers 2019 Other. Not sure how but the first time I saw them.

4 Frank Turner 2019 Avalon. Hell of an atmosphere in that tent.

5. Flaming Lips 2017 Park. Seen them a few times but this is probably the high point.

[CharlotteB]

Leonard Cohen

BB King

Morrissey

The Specials

Nick Cave

Patti Smith

Haim

 

No particular order.

 

[Robinn]

1. Queens of the Stone Age (Other, 2011), by far

2. Khruangbin (The Park, 2022)

3. Justice (West Holts, 2017)

4. Sparks (The Park, 2023)

Only went from 2014 to 2017 and saw 6 Pyramid Headliners in that time, but Top 5 Non-Pyramid:

 

1 - M83, John Peel - 2016

2 - Chemical Brothers, Other Stage - 2015

3 - Fatboy Slim, Sonic - 2014 (don't know if that counts but was on the same time as Metallica)

4 - Alt-J, Other Stage - 2017

5 - Major Lazer, Other Stage - 2017

 

If I manage to get ticket in the resale, I need to see a headliner on Park or West Holts.

Just realised I completely failed at the topic by not ranking anything, just listing a load of great performances I saw.
