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?

She is allegedly an acclaimed songwriter yet her songs consist of fuck fuck fuckity fuck.
Maybe a new style poet like The Matt Healy.

They don't, but never mind. You don't like her, I do.

Kwean · 28/06/2025 14:41

Loyle Carner and CMAT were magnificent. Both genuis musicians and talented performers.

I love watching loads of different types of music that I wouldnt usually pick up on.

I must be in the minority but I really enjoyed all of the coverage yesterday.

Even Self Esteem...though I don't entirely get them. I saw them live a few years ago and I thought they were like a Eurovision act. I still think that..
I do love that there's something for everyone at Glastonbury.
Looking forward to today.

PandoraSocks · 28/06/2025 14:41

Was Alanis definitely singing live? A couple of times I thought she might be miming. I hope not.

Yes I agree. Enjoyed En Vogue and was looking forward to Neil Young but his set isn't going to be televised apparently.

It's going to be streamed on BBC 2. Just announced.

Alanis was great.

I also enjoyed Wet Leg and English Teacher.

Yes Wet Leg were great and English Teacher good too

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 28/06/2025 14:40

Were En Vogue singing live?

I thought they were, until one of them started and the way she moving her mouth made me really not sure! If they were, they were amazing.

'It's a condition of their licence. I was there in 2000 when loads of people jumped the perimeter. It felt overcrowded to the point of dangerous. The perimeter fence is a sensible evolution for a festival the size of Glastonbury.'

Of course it is a health and safety issue but can they really not see the irony of having banners saying no borders?! Oh hang on, health and safety and overcrowding issues must only apply to Tarquin & co at Glastonbury.

Yes caught a bit of self esteem last night singing 'fuck fuck fuck fuck' on a loop <yes im an ole giffer>. Very talented songwriter..

Just heard on the news that his set will be broadcast.

@DiamondThroneha ha I’m semi and oldster too. Waiting for recommendations from my teen!

It hasn't really been the same since Emily took over, but then maybe I feel the way about Glastonbury now as older folk felt when my age group was attending regularly. We've seen some great acts there over the years, and for many years I couldn't watch it on tv because I missed being there. This is the first year that I haven't really felt that way.

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?!

Last year was the first time I could watch it and my last one was 2010!

kirinm · 28/06/2025 14:33

It has always been highly political. Don’t people feel embarrassed using the term woke as an insult?

The crowd is too big for me nowadays and it’s a bit TikToker friendly now but I have a tiny bit of FOMO. I am watching Brian Wilson from 2005 though as haven’t found anything else I like (watched a bit of Alanis and En Vogue last night).

gingercat02 · 28/06/2025 14:32

1975 are not for me, but I would go just for Sir Rod, Alanis and The Biff.
I have never got tickets 😪😢

All oldsters though. The youngsters I've seen, like CMAT and Self Esteem, have been great.

Turmerictolly · 28/06/2025 14:29

Yes, would like to see more from the other stages/sets - there are hundreds of them!

sciaticafanatica · 28/06/2025 14:28

Butlins for the middle class these days.
its just woke money making bollocks

BeaLola · 28/06/2025 14:27

I haven't really ever watched the coverage but last night I tuned in to see The Searchers on the acoustic stage bow out after 68 years of music -and did the BBC show one minute of it - no,nothing, nada I'm fuming

I saw them a week ago and they were great - ao much better than anything else they covered last night

popcornpower2025 · 28/06/2025 14:26

I think yab a bit unreasonable as there's loads of other stuff on outside of the headliners

Fupoffyagrasshole · 28/06/2025 14:25

The headline stuff and everything on tv is only a tiny part though

Arcadia, block 9, shangri la etc all happening after dark and all the djs playing ! There’s always something brilliant on

forget the pyramid stage
