Page 13 | Glastonbury worst I've seen!

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?

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.

I'm not frothing, please try and debate without your insults. I'm outraged by the atrocities committed by hamas and equally outraged by silly people like kneecap and vylan pretending they know wtf they are on about.

But you are not outraged by murdering IDF who have murdered thousands of children?

But not outraged by the IDF? That says a lot about you, I am afraid. Most decent people I know are outraged by both sets of murderers.

My husband was there in a work capacity in the Covid year where they had no audience but recorded bands playing and he said it was his favourite festival experience ever 😄

He was saying death to the IDF because they are Jewish, that is inciting hate and violence. Notice how he didn’t say death to hamas.

He's an attention seeking wanker I hope he gets arrested although that's probably what he wants to be some kind of Glasto martyr. All the flag wavers would love it.

Yes. And it will be interesting to see if he gets arrested for chanting his hateful rant. Shame on the BBC for broadcasting it.

You’ll be standing in the field on your own then (apart from a few sheep maybe). It’s not on next year.

I heard he was going to some Faces stuff - maybe with Ron Wood.

the80sweregreat · 29/06/2025 12:29

Usually the ‘ tea time ‘ slot on Sunday is just a band with an older singer doing the ‘old hits’ at Glastonbury. If Rod sticks to this I’m sure it’ll be fine for that slot.
He was told to do ‘ sweet Caroline’ at the platinum jubilee and didn’t want to ( apparently) but he may have more control over this set?
If I were there I’d only want the old hits tbh. I don’t know any of his new songs.

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!

I'm not obsessed with them they are being discussed on a thread about Glastonbury, I didnt see them as they weren't streamed.

We do know they have learnt their lesson and didn't wave terrorist flags and call for death to MPs, so that's good. They have indeed capitulated. They know which side their bread is buttered.

I'm in my late 60s and am enjoying it. Wet Leg, Self Esteem, CMAT, Blossoms, Jarel Ngonga, Gracie Abrams, Inhaler and Franz Ferdinand....and that was just yesterday.
But we regularly go to gigs, arent stuck in 1979 and listen to new music

So cool

I don't think kneecap actually incited violence at Glastonbury though did they, they've learnt their lesson and stuck to 'fuck Starmer' which is very tame by their standards. Their fans must be very proud at how quickly they capitulated.

So by definition the US attacks on Iran and the Israeli attacks on Gaza must be Islamophobic because they wish death to the relevant forces. Really?

There are differences between race, religion and nationality and conflating them only ever causes problems - it turns every war into a race/religion war.

I'm talking about the law as it applies to individuals potentially committing offences in this country. Its not the same for foreign government actions in other countries.

We're on about chanting 'death to the IDF' and how that it is indeed inciting hate and violence. Really.

But the definition of racism also includes being from a particular nation. In which case as its named the Israeli defence force then any death chant would be by definition a hate crime.

The IDF is a national defence force not a religious defence force, although Netanyahu has done his best to fudge the two. Conscripts include Druze and Circassians and whilst Arab Israelies are not conscripted (along with some other groups) they can volunteer.

The bulk of the members may be Jewish but its a national army with a religious make up broadly reflecting the people, just as the Saudi army will be overwhelmingly Sunni without being a “Moslem army”.

Edit - or at least this was the case, under the Netanyahu government it wouldn’t surprise me if this changes

Isn't military service compulsory in Israel? Everyone has to.

In which case that's calling for the death of everyone from a specific race surely?. Absolutely a hate crime.

Thank you, this!! How these Hamas terrorist sympathizers were allowed to perform is beyond me. I would be so embarrassed to say I like them; someone should give them & their KKK fans the news that the group they idolize tosses gay people off roofs simply because they're gay. Looks like Kneecap supporters are OK with that. And brag about it. Interesting.

Why are you thanking someone for using those words to describe Irish people?

HooSaidThat · 29/06/2025 11:25

The guy said the stuff about the IDF because he wanted the publicity by appearing edgy, he probably doesn't know a thing about it, like most of the audience who proudly support Hamas, but don't know about Hamas' history with music festivals.

I don't think being a member of a foreign army is a protected characteristic is it? So it's a stretch to call it a hate crime.

I'll watch Nile Rodgers but then Rod goes off. No doubt some young women in short skirts will be involved. He played there in 2009(?) and his string section were all women and dressed as schoolgirls. It wasn't a good look.

Rod played Hyde Park in 2015 and his set was all his old stuff and most of the crowd were not at all happy. It will be interesting to see what he does today.
