I'm very impressed they've got Florence but not headlining - I was convinced she would be top of the bill or nothing this time round! Interestingly though the Sunday headliner remains unconfirmed, wonder who it is?

Blur are one of the strong rumours, though it seems to soon to me.

anyone lucky in the resale ?

it lasted for 16 minuets so a fair number of returns.

30 times is impressive. I went once in 94 or 95. Probably 94. It was very hot. Can't even really remember all the bands - bit hazy. Oasis in the afternoon. Blur. Mike Scott possibly?

Patti Smith is a great name to add to it. I'd definitely go and see her. Will they ever get Bowie again? I'd love to see his new songs live.

Oasis was 95 also playing was The Cure, Orbital, P J Harvey, Simple Minds, Portishead and Al Stewart and many more and not forgetting The Bootleg Beatles who were excellent as always.

Tickets were £65 Attendance was 80,000 not counting the ones who got in when the fence was taken down.

I think I was working in the backstage compound so very handy to reach NME Stage { was renamed The Other Stage in 1997 } and then back again so missing the crowds going to the Pyramid area { as the Pyramid Stage burnt down just before Glasto 94 so there was no actual Pyramid in 1995 }

Bowie last played 25th of June 2000 and I was there to see him.

Wild Is The Wind
China Girl
Changes
Stay
Life On Mars?
Absolute Beginners
Ashes To Ashes
Rebel Rebel
Little Wonder
Golden Years
Fame
All The Young Dudes
The Man Who Sold The World
Station To Station
Starman
Hallo Spaceboy
Under Pressure
Encore
Ziggy Stardust
"Heroes"
Let's Dance
I'm Afraid Of Americans

He has a open invite but who knows if he will ever appear again.

Mike Scott was at Glasto 95 played in the Acoustic tent

It seems The Who have got the Sunday headline slot. Bit of a strange choice, but rather them than Taylor Swift.

Wbc-Worker · 07/05/15 - 04:14

Have seen The Who three times

Hyde park 1996 { with David Gilmour }
Hyde park 2006
Glastonbury 2007

what was interesting about Hyde park 1996 was it was not held in its normal spot { have not a clue why }

it ran parallel to Bayswater Road with the stage to the west - there was thousands who showed up without tickets

I have lost counts at how many times I have worked at a concert where Paul Weller was playing.

Patti Smith is amazing. Easter is one of my favourite albums.

babelogue · 09/05/15 - 14:49

Love Patti Smith. I've seen her live 5 times over the years and every time she's been amazing. Her gig at Nottingham Rock City in 2002 is quite possibly the best gig I've ever been to (it's a toss up between that and Kate Bush's Before the Dawn). I'll definitely be watching out for her at Glastonbury. I hope the BBC screen her full set.

If the listings/timings don't change Patti Smith will be at The Park Stage at the same time as The Moody Blues will be at the Acoustic stage and Kanye West will be at the Pyramid stage so I doubt they will show her full set unless its on a red button.

Now its only http://clashfinder.com/s/g2015/ claming its Saturday night and its in the Park so they may have the day wrong - the stage wrong and the time wrong - it will all become clear the closer we get to it.

Show-off! But seriously, Patti Smith is playing 'Horses' in its entirety on June 7th in London.
I'm not sure if she'll ever play live again, but if you ever see Joni Mitchell live, babelogue, then you've seen the Holy Trinity, in my opinion!:)
