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?

@PandoraSocks it was more a reference to how hideous the long drop toilets are in this heat than hate...have you been?

Ah, so you don't think they are bigots,then. Good.

I had a free ticket one year as my then DH was playing. I looked at the weather forecast and stayed home. I have a really strong aversion to mud. DH and his band came home straight after their set it was so bad.

Exactly.

Plus surely they'll have to censor incase they 'accidently' pick up a terrorist flag and shout 'kill yer MP'. Mind one's on bail so he'll have to keep his nose clean, they've maybe been silenced.

Oh no they haven't been silenced. Livestreamed all over social media and they didn't hold back. I've responded to you previously saying never underestimate westies. Surprised, given your previous interest in them you missed all the streams.
Did the BBC learn nothing from trying to impose censorship in the past. Did you all miss Bob Vylan's performance? If Kneecap upset, then this will really wreck heads. Will be interesting to see the outraged and establishment reaction. Kemi and Keir amongst others finding a common cause.

I think even after three days in this heat even they would have to concede their shit actually really does stink...

I think the last line of Birdsinginginthetrees post of 19:38 would be an apt response to this nastiness.

They are just people having fun at a festival. Why the hate?

Just me loving Ezra Collective?

Such energy!

Shed 7 are phenomenal live...I actually think way better than they were in the 90s, hoping i can find their set on iplayer or some such.

Just watched it on iplayer, v good I thought.

Standing in a burning hot field with a bunch of unwashed bigots... not for me, thanks.

Neil Young tonight. A real legend.

We need a reform festival, with no foreign food, no foreign music and British values such as proper queuing for warm beer, an insurance based system for medical care, wife beating bulldog tattooed pink racists area, the blame foriners for everything stage,
the Nigel sings the Brexit blues and how it would have made us all millionaires if he had dun Brexit and Antiwoke songs and proper men and women’s toilets where they inspect your genitals to apportion gender.

Show quote history

What a lazy pile on of sweeping generalisations and barely disguised racism. Mocking “British values” by inventing a caricature of pink skinned, wife-beaters doesn’t make you edgy; it just exposes your own prejudice.
You claim to oppose bigotry, yet here you are pushing crude stereotypes about class and culture. That’s not clever. It’s just bigotry dressed in moral smugness.
If we want real change, start by debating ideas—not dehumanising people you don’t agree with.

Have only watched a few bits so far but enjoyed Supergrass and Biffy Clyro. Pulp are absolutely smashing it! Going to watch Shed Seven and Alanis Morrisette to carry on the 90’s theme!

terracelane23 · 28/06/2025 19:38

Really enjoyed watching Pulp.

TitsInAbsentia · 28/06/2025 19:35

Isn't he! I just turned over on the offchance as I am waiting for my dinner to cook so didn't want to start another programme, so glad I caught the Numan!

Gloriia · 28/06/2025 19:30

Omg Gary Numan is spectacular

Someone else mentioned them I was merely responding. Anyway they've been and gone apparently. Eavis is making a fortune so he should allow people their opinions. Who does he think he is?!

Moving on, Pulp were v good.

Show quote history

They have indeed just played. Pulp were good, glad to see Jarvis was one of the signatories of the letter in support of Kneecap too and has commented on support of them in interviews too.

WillowTit · 28/06/2025 19:23

great to have Peter Capaldi!

the80sweregreat · 28/06/2025 19:23

I like Jarvis too
He seems the real deal
❤️

MauriceTheMussel · 28/06/2025 19:22

Ffs. I spent 99% of this thread thinking Bob Vylan was simply a typo…

I’m mid 50s and bloody loved the 1975!

I am convinced she was miming on some tracks at least.In one instance she was singing an “oh” word, but he mouth was in a wide grin - impossible.

Show quote history

I just watched her and pretty sure she wasn't miming but she did have a backing track on some of her songs. But she was AWESOME!
Enjoyed Wet Leg too, she is such a good front person.
Caught the reveal of Patchwork who everyone guessed who it would be.
Want to watch Biffy Clyro later, Self Esteem, see if Wolf Alice is available on iPlayer, and can't remember who else I wanted to watch now

Treesnthings · 28/06/2025 19:05

I am confused as to why you are on a thread about Glastonbury slating Kneecap (again). ‘Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis says people who disagree with festival’s politics can go elsewhere’, and he was referring to the Kneecap ‘controversy’ so it would seem the festival is not for you. There are other kneecap free festivals this summer for you to discuss.

I was there too. For @RampantIvy@RitaAndFrankand @abnerbrownsdressinggownit was bloody brilliant. Although the crush was so bad that some poor girl was airlifted out. And the only reason I survived the front row was that there was a lovely posh boy from Bath with his arms locked on the barricade either side of me. Bless him.

<sigh> those were the days.

I was there for this too and remember all this!

I hope they all take their tents and litter home. I was completely appalled looking at the field after the Leeds festival.

They do not, they have a load of people that stay on for a couple of weeks after clearing up.
