Glastonbury worst I've seen!

The two things aren’t even vaguely similar

I saw them circa around 1996 at the Maine Road stadium. They were alright - that's about the best I can say - but it was obvious they were a flash in the pan even then. The support band were better.

If I'd been given a choice this year between a ticket to Glastobury, Oasis or the Ozzy/Black Sabbath gig in Birmingham last weekend, I'd take the Ozzy one all day long.

Genuinely curious, what was so good about them?

Well there are Zionists working in the music business- they wrote to Glastonbury asking for Kneecap to be pulled. That’s fact.

And as we know, some Zionists are Jewish and some are not, just as some Jews are Zionists and some are not.

So a) the complaint about the letter was reasonable as the letter was really sent and did attempt censorship and b) that complaint is also not antisemitic.

From the river to the sea we have all done to death here and in real life over the last two years so if you want to believe that to be antisemitic that is up to you. Personally, I don’t.

But here we all are again wasting time on this sideshow when still today children were killed in Gaza. Children. Killed. Every day. That’s the story, that’s the issue, that’s what needs to stop.

@ConnieHeartI like their songs, and have done since I was 11 (I’m nearly 40!), so that helps. Liam’s vocals were really good. Honestly, I was impressed. They just sounded really, really good. Much better than I was expecting, especially after a 20 year break.

Sorry to be controversial, but I saw Oasis last night, and they were absolutely brilliant. I was honestly shocked at how good they were last night! Liam wasn’t an arsehole either, which I was also shocked about! 😂

Totally agree. Glastonbury didn't need them. I've always hated Oasis, I see no appeal whatsoever in a man with no stage presence standing with his hands behind his back growling into a microphone. I don't mind the stuff they've done separately but I'd rather cut off my own ear than see them live

MEH- why? They had a much better and varied bunch of headliners at Glasto- the Maccabees headlining the Park stage on the Sunday was incredible- brilliant band. Olivia Rodrigo was fantastic, Prodigy were also incredible. Scissor sisters totally owned the Woodsies stage as headliners too. Doechii was amazing on the west holts as was Self esteem on the park.

So much newer good stuff out there to avoid a pair of over rated karaoke singers! I have seen both Liam and Noel separately at Glasto in recent times- Liam is SO nasally and Noel just shit talks about everyone else. Overhyped and over rated band.

They should have got Oasis to play at Glastonbury.

I'm sure the Eavis's think the fence coming down is all jolly good fun. Not so much fun for the ticket holders who risk being trampled when the crowds are too big. Old glastonbury was a shit hole.

Anyway, I loved Charli. She was partly miming and shaking her behind but she led a fantastic party on that stage. If Fatboy Slim, Calvin Harris etc can headline and mix other people's music then I don't see why Charli can't perform over a backing tape. I won't hear a word against her.

Yes of course it makes a difference. There's an obvious difference in kind between calling for the 4th most powerful military force in the world to be defeated by a festival audience and inciting people to burn to death vulnerable adults and children in a refugee hostel.

But Lucy Connolly was or do you agree she shouldn't have been?

The problem is the police and the cps tbh, they need to make their minds up what constitutes a crime regarding comments and what doesn't. Maybe it depends on who the target is?

The thought of the loos makes me shudder. 😬

Blessed are the peacemakers, the humble and pure of heart for they shall inherit the earth. Met a Christian baptist lay preacher who was recycling today that helps to run the Christian tent at the top of the Pyramid Stage. A lovely man who sees God all around and he looks like the snooker player Steve Davis who regularly djs here. He says God is to be found here but then if you are looking you can find Her everywhere.

But time to go home to my partner and reality and realise the glimpse of a better world that Glastonbury brings into sharp focus is more than just an illusion. Be kind to your neighbours , smile and help when you can and receive kindness in return and you will be more than rewarded, but if you are from the north you will be used to that already Its not what you have but what you do and the differences you made to folks on the way.

The greatest lesson my partner taught me was open your heart and let the love come in. I'm in the cult for sure and, thank god for the fallow year I want to embrace my inner bastard once again.Which will probably happen at Fleet motorway services, it nearly always does.

Its a funny old world and seeing this wonderful place go quiet and disappear into the dirt saddens me because in a way its a metaphor for life - we come from nothing burn brightly for mere moments in the scheme of things and then disappear which for a few decades after we have gone will be to be lost in the obscurity of time, barely remembered except in the hearts of those we touched or influenced on the way. The Brigadoon of Somerset as it were.

Or its just a lot of smug pretentious wankers mostly off their heads enjoying a few days away from the troubles of the world sanctimoniously thinking they have experienced something special or or profound.

As Bob Vylan aptly said all those years ago... the answer is blowing in the Vind. Probably

From The Guardian today: "It has since emerged that a month before the festival, vocalist Robinson-Foster made similar comments at Alexandra Palace, where the band were supporting Iggy Pop. He said on stage: “Death to every single IDF soldier out there, as an agent of terror for Israel. Death to the IDF.”
I think that makes his meaning explicit.
