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?

No we don't want anyone trampled to death.

Surely though, surely if one can understand the need for rules and protocols for their fun times they can understand rules and regulations are needed for borders and immigration too? I know it's stretch to think they may be able to process such complex information.

You're quite persistent at labelling those who hold different opinions to you as thick. It's quite ironic considering it was 'The Left' who apparently alienated so many by doing exactly this during the debates about Brexit. They're not thick. They just don't agree with you, and are entitled to crowd control in exactly the same way as football, tennis and rugby fans, concert goers and attendees at Reform conferences.

Hmmm, horrid of me I know but would love to see Kneejerk and Bob Vinyl in hand-to-hand combat with Hamas.

I listen to emerging metal bands among other genres so I don't need any botox for ny ears! Nor do I have grey hair or wrinkles! Not liking much of what is televised is the only way I can judge the calibre of the acts. You couldn't give me a free tkt for Glastonbury but each to their own. Just off out to a gig where the band my son is in is headlining.

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

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

All of the great artists are old or dead.
Glastonbury as an event has to keep going as a cash cow, but it is hard to justify ticket prices for the line-ups they have now.
And the odd 'controversial' act sticking on some balaclavas and an Irish flag is about as middle-class as it gets. Kneecap probably shop at Waitrose.

I laughed like a drain when I discovered that the real name of the Macc Lads' lead singer, alias Muttley McLadd, was .....Tristan.

I went to Butlins in the 70s. This looks a lot more fun to be honest !!

Exactly this. It's quite a stretch to be offended at crowd control for people who support free movement. No doubt a few people on here would cheer at a few lefties being trampled to death. 🙄

We don't have Waitrose in Belfast, we only got Tesco and Sainsburys as part of the GFA.

Bob Vylan is excellent. Suspect MN is absolutely not his crowd though.

Bob Vylan are on R6 a lot. A fair few listen to that. They're not that out there.

I'm older than you but even so used to enjoy watching it even if the music wasn't my thing but now it's just overhyped, politicised woke bollocks with average singers. Obviously the Eavis family are laughing all the way to the bank but it really has had its day.

We can only wait in excitement for what profound crap Kneecap will spout later today.

Do the owners seriously think their 'the world shouldn't have borders' banners are a good idea when they are surrounded by a massive effect perimeter fence?!

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.

Every year I look at the list of performers and every year I think "never heard of them" for 99.99% of the perfomers.

Should not Glasto be more inclusive for the more mature of us.

Not that I ever watch it but how long can it last in its current format ..

Don't know where to start with this one.

Why on earth is she a legend if it's on later. I'll tell you what it'll involve loads of thickos waving flags and mo chara saying 'there's a genocide innit and at least in the troubles the ira didn't bomb us from the skies' or some such.

Show quote history

Your dedication to Kneecap is admirable but although they are all bilingual I don't think they have picked up English slang like innit and it was 'gratitude' that the British government didn't bomb Belfast from the skies....the IRA didn't have an air force innit?

Huge difference between international borders and physical fences to prevent a small area from being overwhelmed with unsafe crowd numbers. You can't just barge your way into Wimbledon, or the Proms either

I think if you can't find ANY music you like at a festival as big as Glastonbury then it's probably a you problem.

pretty sure there's a carbon copy of this thread every year, it's boring.
