Anyone else? I tuned in last night and couldn't believe how bad it was! 1975 was headlining and it was so middle or the road.

Maybe I'm getting old but the music was awful!!! So bland. Im early 40s 🤣

What are your thoughts?

Calling for people's death is hate speech by any definition.

Give your own head a bigger wobble. Unless of course you condone it.

The IDF is an institution, not a person.

anyway, the Libertines were a bit meh until the last couple of songs

@Gloriia bc I’m sure hamas is all dead now, they wiped the whole of Gaza, they-were there on foot the idf twats, where exactly do you think hamas can run and hide. The idf isn’t fighting hamas, they are fighting the Palestinian people, innocent women and children! So yes death to those motherfers. And don’t you dare refer to them as Jewish!!!! How insulting to the Jewish faith, this is not in their teaching!!! Israelis and Jews are not the same!!!

Hamas aren't all dead <wtf>. Thr IDF are fighting hamas, not gazans. Hope that clears that up for you.

Who did you like at Glastonbury, any opinions on that?

Have a look in the mirror .... how did you end up as such a nasty piece of work?

There should be a Mumsnet stage at Glastonbury.

They’ll have a job!
Do you want to charge them all with terror offences and have them banged up for 14 years. This seems proportionate.

Perhaps naming and shaming them would show those who recognise them just what sort of people they are !
14 years for Bob Vylan would be appropriate, though.

Shameful.

I hope they identify all those chanting his hate in the crowd too!

Absolutely disgusted to see some guy called Bob Vylan...never heard of him by the way...chant death to the idf. I mean wtf. Sickening.

Hopefully he will be arrested, along with those following him

Allseeingallknowing · 29/06/2025 13:59

Willyoujustbequiet · 29/06/2025 03:16

Yes I'm absolutely disgusted. They knew something like this would happen.

I hope Bob Vylan is charged and heads roll at the BBC.

I hope they identify all those chanting his hate in the crowd too!

Goldenbear · 29/06/2025 13:54

I think many people on this thread have never been to Glastonbury, certainly not when it was reasonably priced as it is always had a diverse range of acts, it is not radio 2 in the park!

We don't usually watch live but record acts we're interested in once it's finished.
This year there is not a single act I'm bothered about.
The few I've caught have been awful - out of tune and just a racket.

Was good seeing Lewis Capaldi

Ezra Collective are my favourites so far

Neil Young utterly dreadful. Pretty much everything else I’ve seen so far not too far behind NY in the dreadful stakes

As mentioned elsewhere, this is the first year I don’t have FOMO

Neil Young was wonderful!

You clearly didn't watch or hear them or read all the reports. Sticking to your own narrative and obsession with Kneecap.
No learning!
No capitulation!
No croppy laid down!
Bring on 20th August!

Lol how cringeworthy.

Watching Celeste now. Its dreary as fuck.
Who wants to listen to this shite at a festival? Jesus, I feel like I want to top myself.

TheHateIsNotGood · 28/06/2025 22:28

OH nooooo - Neil Young is tanking according to all here - I thought he 'went out to grass' years ago. At least he's alive and tries and his songs live forever and nothing will ever take that away.

Kneecap - it's hard to see if they are truly anarchic (not that the Pistols actually were) and when it all quitens down I'll give their tunes a listen.

Anyways - it's not Anarchy in the UK - just a fucking break from the mediocrity that nearly all seem subscribed to.

Neil young was brilliant!

Where is the joy?! Think maybe there’s some grumpy old types on this thread…. 😆

Always have total fomo for glasto.
Would love to see en vogue, Alanis, Joy Crookes, Raye, Celeste, The Prodigy, Groove Armada, Self Esteem, - the atmosphere there is like nothing else. Long live tye magic of festivals! 🎉🎉🎉✨✨✨🤩🤩🤩🎪🏕️

Not all old people are grumpy...

Yes I’m sure everyone in the field was inspired and incited to immediately go and cause the death of the IDF 🙄

If that's what you're after you won't get it at Glastonbury. The organisers don't want it.

It's not a narrative to acknowledge one has indeed been charged with a terror offence. It's simply a fact.

From what I understand nothing similar was repeated at Glastonbury so they've toned it down and clearly learnt their lesson.

Thegreyhound · 29/06/2025 13:20

EasternStandard · 29/06/2025 13:16

I don't think the pp is 'frothing'. Emily Eavis / Glastonbury have made a statement on not wanting incitement to violence or hatred at the festival.
