Yeah same. I was a little on the fence about seeing them because I’ve already seen them at Glastonbury (plus a few more times), but definitely made the right choice.
This and home were some of my most anticipated songs at this years Glasto and they lived up to the hype and then some. Been a massive fan of LCD for a while and my first time seeing them at this years festival and both them songs had me in bits, truly beautiful pieces of music that hit home (pun intended)
Tame Impala and Dua singing The Less I Know The Better .. I was expecting him to come out... wasn't expecting them to play that song, and I felt like I was having an out of body experience.. also I'm With You by Avril, that whole set was amazing and made me feel thirteen again
Romy, for her whole set really, but jumping around with my friends to ‘Enjoy Your Life’ was healing for the soul.
Agreed with you that Jungle’s set was an absolute festival highlight!!
Coldplay - Viva La Vida. Singing along with tens of thousands of people in shared euphoria was my highlight of the festival, and put an end to my previously dismissals of Coldplay.
Oh-oh-OH, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-OH, oh-oh, oh
Coldplay and Dua for my group but we had tbh we really had a good time during sugababes set. The crowd was surprisingly in to it, i heard they had to stop letting people in.
A couple highlights;
I, Jordan played some absolute bangers at Levels (Tbf they also smashed it on BBC introducing too)
The streets - Blinded by the lights is always going to be a tear jerker too
Confidence man - Now u do
Barry Can’t Swim - Deadbeat Gospel
OR
The Streets - On the Edge of a Cliff
and that’s from somebody who’s favourite song was actually played at the festival (James- Getting away with it). Shame James didn’t have their best gig
I’ve seen James over 10 times, I actually saw them a couple of weeks ago at the new CO OP live. They’re my absolute all time favourite band. Maybe I didn’t enjoy it as much because I wasn’t near the front and therefore watching it with people who aren’t as into them as I am. Not sure why, just thought they were underwhelming. I have however watched the set back on tv and looks a lot better than I remember it
i do tend to find thats often the case at glasto, you can’t be in the moment all the time. I was pretty miserable at bloc party but watching it back it looked amazing
Higher Than Ever Before - Disclosure. It was the one song I really wanted to see during their set and it was even more magical getting to see them smash it out live on instruments. Insane.
The streets - turn the page or Blinded by the lights
All of Mike Skinner’s set actually. A true glasto vet, knew how and what to play
Other option was some beautifully talented chick in the piano bar on Saturday night at 6am. Irish folk songs and an amazing voice. Tiny crowd to appreciate it
Internet Cowboys by Seasick Steve , how does he make those sounds with those instruments? #Wow

Bridget. did a cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night at the Bimble Inn that made my run across the hill to go and check it out. Saw the rest of her set and she was amazing!
So so hard to pick from, Disclosures rendition of insomnia was insane, the whole of Jungles set was Phenomenal, Dance Yrself clean, home, all my friends from LCD was unbelievable, and Bombay bicycle club had me in floods of tears with lights out words gone, all these songs remind me of my friends and the latter had me hugging them all like crazy.
Avril singing Losing grip - I wasn’t expecting her to do that one and so many of us singing it all together, just good memories of being a young teenager listening to her first album.
Also insomnia at disclosures set, and she’s gone on dance on, will never forget it
Girlband The Deep Blue transitioned back and forth between If There’s a Chance (possibly an unreleased one of theirs) and Everywhere by Fleetwood Mac at the Avalon stage- it was so skilled and the vibes were immaculate - they’re easily my find of the festival ☺️ Yellow by Coldplay was also very moving 🟡💛
Probably All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem.
That’s always a highlight. Love LCD. We saw them for their return when they were on the Other stage and they were brilliant then too.
Yeah same. I was a little on the fence about seeing them because I’ve already seen them at Glastonbury (plus a few more times), but definitely made the right choice.
Evryone seems to be saying this and I wholeheardtedly agree. Best gig of the weekend! Home was also sublime!
Just saw it on iPlayer, gutted I didnt see it live.
This and home were some of my most anticipated songs at this years Glasto and they lived up to the hype and then some. Been a massive fan of LCD for a while and my first time seeing them at this years festival and both them songs had me in bits, truly beautiful pieces of music that hit home (pun intended)
The Streets - Who’s got the bag?
Mike jumping straight into the crowd from the start was amazing. Massive energy.
Saw on TV, looked ace. There was a kid with a t shirt on that said the same 😂🫠
Yeah that wasn’t particularly great, but the “who’s got the flag” flag was hilarious
Who’s got the flag flag wins flags IMO 🔥
Aha my friends were right by him when he was in the crowd - one of them gave him the green bucket hat he wore for a while. Mad!
LCD - All My Friends Confidence Man - Boyfriend Fontaines DC - Favourite
Confidence Man finishing on Boyfriend/Holiday was perfect
Tame Impala and Dua singing The Less I Know The Better .. I was expecting him to come out... wasn't expecting them to play that song, and I felt like I was having an out of body experience.. also I'm With You by Avril, that whole set was amazing and made me feel thirteen again
Insomnia, both Faithless and Disclosure´s versions.
The Disclosure version will be with me forever. There aren’t many moments that do but that makes the list.
Why did it have to clash with fat boy slim :( I’d have love to have gone.
Same the disclosure one was what I saw and my god it was phenomenal. Probably my fave dance track of all time
Orbital + Mel C - Spicy 🙌👏
I saw them do that at Coachella and lost my mind. No Mel C obviously.
That was superb.
Yup this was fantastic, loved it!
Romy, for her whole set really, but jumping around with my friends to ‘Enjoy Your Life’ was healing for the soul. Agreed with you that Jungle’s set was an absolute festival highlight!!
Enjoy your life has been my post-festival ear-worm. Romy was such a fun set and one of my glasto highlights this year.
I was going mental just outside the tent. Pretty special moment
Tears were shed during Enjoy Your Life- hugging my kid overcome with emotion.
If by best you mean personal favourite, hearing This Modern Love - Bloc Party live.
Also Skream and Benga closing with Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name was boss x
I’m bruised from the mosh pit lol
Kneecap - your sniffer dogs are Shiite!
This was absolutely incredible at their Peace stage set.
+ Better way to live with Grian Chatten appearing with them Peace stage at 2am
Fire - Kasabian was crazy
Keep Moving by Jungle - such good vibes for that whole set, it was great!
It was easily my best set of the weekend - vibes were spot on. Classic friday night headliner.
Me too I think - was certainly my Friday headliner! 😅
All My Friends by LCD was majestic
IDLES - Danny Nedelko
Foundations by Kate Nash at Avalon, magical :)
Omg it was amazing
Carmen - Olivia Dean This had me in tears having never heard the song before
Coldplay - Viva La Vida. Singing along with tens of thousands of people in shared euphoria was my highlight of the festival, and put an end to my previously dismissals of Coldplay. Oh-oh-OH, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-OH, oh-oh, oh
Very good shout. Personally thought Charlie Brown was amazing too with the way the wristbands lit up
Coldplay and Dua for my group but we had tbh we really had a good time during sugababes set. The crowd was surprisingly in to it, i heard they had to stop letting people in.
Yeah I listened to the Sugababes set this afternoon and wished I was there!
Can’t decide between: Mount Kimbie - ‘Empty & Silent (feat King Krule)’ LCD Soundsystem - ‘I Can Change’ or ‘Home’ The National - ‘Conversation 16’
Seventeen- NICE!
aju NICE
This song is my friend folklore now, what a set
Sooo many to choose from but if I have to pick, This Is The Last Time - Keane on Saturday had me bawling
A couple highlights; I, Jordan played some absolute bangers at Levels (Tbf they also smashed it on BBC introducing too) The streets - Blinded by the lights is always going to be a tear jerker too Confidence man - Now u do
Flight FM - Joy Orbison!!
Fk ye baby. Orbison at arcadia then Amelie lens was a wild time
Strong- Romy Feminine Urge- TLDP Chorus-Justice
All of Amelie lens cheers
Barry Can’t Swim - Deadbeat Gospel OR The Streets - On the Edge of a Cliff and that’s from somebody who’s favourite song was actually played at the festival (James- Getting away with it). Shame James didn’t have their best gig
really?? i thought James were incredible! Tim standing on the barrier holding that mans arm had me in awe
I’ve seen James over 10 times, I actually saw them a couple of weeks ago at the new CO OP live. They’re my absolute all time favourite band. Maybe I didn’t enjoy it as much because I wasn’t near the front and therefore watching it with people who aren’t as into them as I am. Not sure why, just thought they were underwhelming.

Higher Than Ever Before - Disclosure. It was the one song I really wanted to see during their set and it was even more magical getting to see them smash it out live on instruments. Insane.
Dua doing Hallucinate was my favourite moment but I also loved Bloc Party doing This Modern Love as that song was the first dance at my wedding
Seventeen - Aju Nice
Blackpool Boulevard, Barry Can't Swim at the Park. Insane
Girl fight

Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer - Paper Plates. Great vibes in the Croissant Neuf tent, had everyone singing! 😁
Seventeen - Aju Nice!
Southampton- Russell Crowe
Internet Cowboys by Seasick Steve , how does he make those sounds with those instruments? #Wow [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utAk4gIY0Jo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utAk4gIY0Jo)
Sugababes - Overload was INCREDIBLE
Man! I feel like a woman!
Seriously, what a moment 😭
A little closer - different
Simula behemoth
I heard Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip perform a stripped down cover of Brian Wilson’s Love and Mercy.
Jamie xx - pale blue dancer & waited all night ( with Romy and Oli)
Bridget. did a cover of Where Did You Sleep Last Night at the Bimble Inn that made my run across the hill to go and check it out. Saw the rest of her set and she was amazing!
Avril singing Complicated
So so hard to pick from, Disclosures rendition of insomnia was insane, the whole of Jungles set was Phenomenal, Dance Yrself clean, home, all my friends from LCD was unbelievable, and Bombay bicycle club had me in floods of tears with lights out words gone, all these songs remind me of my friends and the latter had me hugging them all like crazy.
Belfast by orbital. Cried the whole way through, still tearing up thinking about it.
Avril singing Losing grip - I wasn’t expecting her to do that one and so many of us singing it all together, just good memories of being a young teenager listening to her first album. Also insomnia at disclosures set, and she’s gone on dance on, will never forget it

The Feeling - love it when you call
I made it to the end of this set and it was class. No one else seems to be mentioning Sophie Ellis-Bextor appearing too.
One more day won’t hurt - soft play, they killed it
5am at The Wishing Well with Discolypso & PBR Streetgang playing the Purple Disco Machine remix of Don't You Want Me. It was a killer set!
Yard Act - The Trench Coat Museum
