I'm sure I'm not alone in having gone big on Soft Play's latest record since this performance.  It was one of the stand out gigs of the year for me, the album likewise and this song really landed for me live as the high point of a great gig.  I think they made a lot of new fans that day.

Honourable Mention - The Cash Cows

[wro_lap]

Best Big Stage Headliner  Gotta go Coldplay - not my favourite of the lot but objectively smashed it the hardest. Felt like a proper Glastonbury headliner

 

Best Glasto Debutant - Avril Lavigne - obvious shout but to pull a crowd that massive (while dangerous and claustrophobic) created a pretty incredible atmosphere. Think she played brilliantly.

 

Best Late Night Act - Bob Vylan at the Peace Stage - wish they were also on a main stage/play WH or Woodsies  next year. Unreal set to finish the weekend, was absolutely wired afterwards

 

Best Small(ish) Stage Performance - Frank Turner playing the album Love, Ire & Song in full at Greenpeace was a real moment

 

Best Returning Veteran -  The National - very easily could've been the best big stage headliner, incredible outro to About Today to wind down. Perfect setlist spanning across their career

 

Rising Star Award - Kneecap - bound for a bigger slot next year, what a band

 

Best Album - Prelude to Ecstasy by TLDP, followed closely by Small Changes by Kiwanuka. Not bad getting to see them one after the other this year.

 

Best Individual Song - LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends. That set was the best of the weekend and it's not close for me. Simply phenomenal

 

Honourable Mention - Confidence Man. Proper 10/10 party, incredible crowd

Absolutely.  I was really really looking forward to it and and it outdid every expectation I had. SO happy for them to come back with such momentum

I know we shouldn't police but Mannequin Pussy did play glasto before 2024, William's Green. I am mentioning it because the tent was quite empty for a brilliant show and I think it's great they stuck with it and now get awards here, but as well in year end lists etc.
