Glastonbury worst I've seen!

I can’t remember the last Glastonbury that was any good. But, Alanis was brilliant yesterday.

Yes, all rather disappointing so far...
If only the artists were as good as the BBC technical coverage.

My DH (who's from from Ireland) opinion on Kneecrap 😭 - derivative hip hop by cosplay terrorist sympathisers capitalising on the green pound/euro/dollar exploiting Oirish 'yoof' ignorance and plastic Paddies who conveniently forget the maiming and mutilation their "heroes" inflicted on the community they claimed to represent.

The 1975 are dreadful bland bollocks anyway though.

Self Esteem was fucking incredible, I thought.

Au contraire - love Bob Vylan! And didn't expect to be impressed by Wet Leg but their lead singer has turned into an absolute powerhouse, great stage presence.

JOMO joy of missing out! I get this a lot!

I heard on one of the shows on 6music that one family goes every year and their mum gets up early and cleans one of the loos for all her family to use!

Ah, Glastonbury, the once great music festival now reduced to a sprawling swamp of political soapboxing and desperate self branding. What was once a celebration of sound and soul has morphed into an overpriced influencer farm, where sad people cosplay as activists between £12 smoothie breaks and TikTok reels of their recycled “vintage” outfits.
Forget the music, that’s just background noise to the real performance - moral grandstanding on stage and performative wokeness in the crowd. Every headliner now comes with a lecture, every stage a platform for world-saving platitudes from people who arrived by helicopter.
And the crowd? An Instagram feed of bucket hats, glitter, and fake spirituality. Everyone’s too busy trying to look effortlessly countercultural to notice the irony of paying hundreds to pretend they’re sticking it to the establishment.
Glastonbury used to be about escape. Now it’s all about image. Less rave, more rants. Less music, more manifestos. If you’re looking for joy, soul, or spontaneity — you might want to check literally anywhere else.

Just watching English Teacher and will catch up on the other two later. Biffy Clyro are usually a good one to watch too

I have to say the lineup this year didn't enthuse me, though there are a few I would like to see, but the headliners for each night I'm a bit meh about tho

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

I don’t get the whole Matt Healy thing. Mate, your mum was on Corrie! That ain’t no sex, drugs, and rock’n’roll!

It's a load of old shite

I doubt if they are the only act who is not singing live.

This is something I would require to be stated at the point of ticket purchase if any act is miming, by law. A statement you have to positively acknowledge. Or the gig/concert/festival is free. If you cannot sing live well enough, then don't sing live.

oh i forgot i wanted to see kaiser cheifs but they were on at 12 and bbc didnt even show it and not on iplayer

You are naming a couple of bands. Glastonbury is an incredible experience with countless stages and tents many with unbelievable music and atmosphere

You have literally no idea what it's like from.watching one main stage band.

I've been about 20 times and barely seen anything on the pyramid stage

My son was on earlier on one of the Main Stages that are being shown on the iPlayer, but they didn’t start broadcasting until after their band 😠

I'm looking forward to Charlie xcx who I think is amazing, and apparently also very good at getting a crowd going.

I really enjoyed Alanis, she would have been a great headliner.

I found The 1975 a bit cringe, all the acting drunk and stumbling around like a wannabe rock star while performing quite bland middle of the road music, just felt a bit embarrassing for a man in his mid 30’s. They would have been ok in an earlier slot but not really a headliner act for me, I don’t like Coldplays music but they were brilliant as headliners last year and put on a great show which is what you want from that slot,

I imagine it’s great to be there though, there is so much for everyone.

As an aside my dad is 76 and likes Self Esteem, he thought she was great on Jools Holland last week too.

very poor lineup apart from alanis and a couple of others- the headliners arfe not good at all compared to previous years first time i wont be watching any hl

id be disppointed if were there

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

Have you ever seen the pictures of all the tents left at festivals? By the younger generation who criticise older people for the state the world is in?

I just don't think that live festivals come across well on the TV or radio AT ALL. Either be there, or don't bother.

No, Matty wasn't drunk. It's worse than that. He was pretending to be drunk.

Such edginess! 🙄

I saw a clip of people picking up rubbish from the very first day, and it was horrendous. Piles of hippy crack bottles, balloons ( hello! It’s a farm,
balloons can kill animals) it was very shameful to think of the mindset behind such selfish and thoughtless behaviour. All very well wearing beads, having glitter on your face and singing along, but pick up your crap and put it in a bin or skip or whatever they have.

The 1975 did not deserve to be headliner, (was he drunk ), Biffy Clyro so much better though we had trouble with I-Player going off at random times and trying to see the whole set was difficult

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.
