This was the first year that impromptu, unofficial sound systems sprang up around the festival site – a portent of things to come. These sound systems would play loud, electronic acid house music around the clock, with the largest, the Hypnosis sound system, rivalling the volume of some of the official stages and running non-stop throughout the festival. The Line-up included:
Pyramid stage FridaySaturdaySunday Suzanne Vega All About Eve The Wonder Stuff Pixies Throwing Muses Lucinda Williams Elvis Costello The Proclaimers Hothouse Flowers Fairground Attraction Van Morrison Azido Bhundu Boys Fela Kuti Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens Youssou N'Dour The Waterboys Steve Cooney & Seamus Begley Black Uhuru Martin Stephenson Donovan & Friends Adam Clayton of U2 joined Hot House Flowers onstage to play on "Feet on the Ground".
Georgie Fame was Van Morrison's keyboard player and played "Yeh, Yeh" before Morrison arrived onstage.
Peter Gabriel joined Youssou N'Dour onstage for one or more songs.
There was speculation in the music press, prior to the festival, that Donovan's "friends" would include big names, such as Paul McCartney and Eric Clapton. The "friends" turned out to be Ozric Tentacles.
Elvis Costello's set was solo.
