Page 28 | 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’m enjoying Weezer at the moment, they sound pretty good

Yeah they were great! Last at Glastonbury in 1995 apparently! I feel ancient as it feels like just a few years ago they were in the charts!

He's ace. I really wanted him to perform in character as Malcom Tucker though.

That would have been amazing haha!

She hasn't changed at all. I want her outfit.

I did enjoy seeing Peter Capaldi owning the stage with Franz Ferdinand

I couldn’t think of anything worse than being surrounded by cringey middle class dullards wetting their knickers because they’re at ‘Glasto’, and gassing up mediocre shite as ‘awsome’ and ‘ace’. Boak.

What a charming turn of phrase you have.

Apparently it will be on iPlayer later, but some absolute legend called Helen live streamed the whole thing on TikTok. Fair play Helen! It looked really good; I can’t wait to see it properly. (Her name is Helenshealingjourney; not sure if Lives get saved somewhere on people’s profiles?)

Also loved Bob Vylan, Weezer, CMAT and watching Amyl and the Sniffers as we speak. Great energy!

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.

BeamMeUpCountMeIn · 28/06/2025 17:29

diamond it's a fallow year next year I think. So you've got two years to save up and plan.

I don't think glastonbury has got less cool over the years. Van Morrison was in the legends slot when I went in 97 for heavens sake. I think it's safer now, it was horrible back then.

It’s lovely to see all the support for Palestine there this year

It is, isn't it. 🇵🇸🇵🇸

Jo Whiley's leather shorts and a Cure Tshirt was a fantastic look.

She is 60 next week! Looks amazing

Just switched on to watch Kneecap but seems the BBC will not be showing them . What an absolute shower of craven fuckers the BBC are.

John fogerty is rocking out at 80 and he is very good!

It lost the original spirit and purpose a long time ago. Making some bands or solo artists pay to attend in all but name, and then tickets not allocated by ballot or some other reasonable way.

I doubt having someone who allegedly says that Nigel Farage should be given a chance would have been considered for the event even ten years ago.

Yes Rod Stewart is not going to be popular for saying that!

Nothing would ever have me feeling FOMO for a festival where showers aren’t really an easy.

Might as well buy a plane ticket for a summer festival in a sunny country.

I remember back in 2005 (think it was 2005!) my sister and I decided to go on holiday together to somewhere sunny. They had radio 1 on and they were saying it was the wettest Glasto on record, it was a mud pit and everyone was filthy. We were sunbathing by the pool laughing!

SerafinasGoose · 28/06/2025 17:14

Glastonbury has long-since lost its way. Likewise Leeds/Reading from about 2005, up to which time I went regularly. It's been dire ever since the organiser Mean Fiddler rebranded itself as Festival Republic. Sonisphere has died a tragic death too, at least in the UK. Their 2010 festival was one of the best I've been to.

Nowadays I'd only bother going to Download or Bloodstock.

Weren’t they amazing!!! No yapping or anything, just got on with the job and sounded fab. My 16yr old DD, who loves them, was in raptures.

DiscoBob · 28/06/2025 17:10

You're not wrong. I mean it hasn't been edgy or cool for decades but now it's literally a corporate joke.
Everyone knows the lineup is a couple of big acts they spunked all the money on, followed by a few random acts that happen to be on tour in Europe anyway, then finally a load of 'pay to play' who are being taken advantage of in the desperate hope it will give them a boost in record or ticket sales.

I just don't even understand who actually chooses to go at this point? It feels like nobody reasonable would see the value.

The 1975 headlining pyramid stage? They're like a C list Indie rock band for teenage girls that went out of fashion about eight years ago. Isn't the singer a far right supporter? Or maybe he pretended to be to get attention? I don't think anybody actually likes them do they?!

So yeah. What a bunch of absolute cobblers.

Gonsmacked no-one has mentioned the might Shed Seven who played yesterday! Full set has just been added. They’ve been going 30+ years and returned to Glasto 30 years after they first played. Very excited to be going to see them in Leeds in 2 weeks’ time.Caught what they showed of Lewis Capaldi and Alanis. I wouldn’t fork out for the event myself though.
I went to the last Phoenix festival in 1997 (first time I saw Shed Seven live actually). They’d had to up security after they had massive issues the year before. They went bust after that! Shame, it was a nice atmosphere.

Saw them at Radio 2 event last year and they were amazing.
Enjoyed watching Lewis capaldi. Not impressed by Lola Young this afternoon.

I'm just watching it now, now I've worked out how to find individual bands' sets! 😬🙈

Bloody love Shed Seven.

Not my cup of tea either… I’m more of a Download girl 😁

I’m 60 and I loved seeing Loyle Carner last night (tv, I don’t go in person). I listen to 6music. I like early Rod Stewart, would love to hear him do Mandolin Wind, doubt he will.

love CMAT and Self Esteem.

horses for courses innit! The BBC can’t show everything but it’s not all MOR rubbish…and not everyone old wants to hear old!!

WindySkiesAtNight · 28/06/2025 17:01

I don't recognise the names of hardly anyone performing. Feel really out of touch! I need to get on Spotify and see who they are.
