Glastonbury live thread

[Arabels]

Anyone watching? I thought I’d make a thread we can drop in and out of to chat about what’s on.

Texas are playing right now. What an absolute bloody delight to see Sharleen Spiteri, looking exactly like herself at 55, giving it all. Her voice is still amazing. Rock on!

I don't understand how the arctic monkeys are headliners and not Foo Fighters? Not overly fussed about either tbh, but would have thought FF were much more well known.

Yeah, even the fast songs they’re trying to drearify FFS.

Actually no Alex, the past is better!

He's like a pissed up best man making a twat of himself serenading a bridesmaid.

Agreed Arctic Monkeys have been boring so far. Maybe they'll perk up before the end.
And yes! He's looking like Richard Hammond these days, was saying just that to DH earlier!

Foo Fighters on the other hand were awesome, fantastic showmanship. Really engaged the crowd.

Can someone get Cate Blanchett back on? Might liven up the crowd a bit. Be something to watch at least

In The Phoenix Club

Haha loved Cate!

Well their last two albums are slow burners and not as fast as the old songs... was just thinking how hot AT is til I saw the Richard Hammond comparison

Hmm. Compare and contrast to the cover of Moonage Daydream he did with the LSP a few years back. swoon

Alex looks about to burst into a smashing rendition of ‘Amarillo’ any minute now.

Think she had some sound issues. I saw her at Wembley last year and she same some Jeff Buckley covers and sounded great- and they were difficult songs to sing!

He’s even doing the Sheffield accent in the club singer style

the foos and sparks were great tonight

mopt really getting the arctics seems very ploddy

I really do love this song though and he is singing it well ie as the single (Body Paint)

I just said to dh I need to play him the album version of 505 as that live one was awful!

theyre getting a pasting on twitter

They have been singing all their faster songs much slower at all of their shows. We turned over to watch Hot Chip but just catching the end now.

Umm.
Now I right love the AM but I could take my grandma to this show... it's polished for a LA residential.
There's no bounce.

Have they opted to go for ploddy to save his voice?

They were dreadful. I turned it off in the end.

Gabriels and Young Fathers were both great, though Gabriels set was better last year.

Not impressed with the Arctic Monkeys. Alex Turner looks like the lead singer of Showaddywaddy.

It's a fairly down beat headliner act so far. I get the feeling AT takes himself incredibly seriously.

Foos were awesome. I gave up on AM halfway through, used to really like them but very dreary these days. Even my old fave Mardy Bum

And the crowd go mild!

🤣🤣

I've had to turn the appalling Monkeys off and put Rocky on (BBC2). They were sending me to sleep. What an absolute pile of boring shite. Foos should have come back on to show the how to headline. Glad I didn't buy a ticket for that!

I’ve been avoiding arctic monkeys as I only knew one song prior ….obviously that dance floor one. But tuning in now I actually think he’s got a good voice. Going against the grain on this thread.

@Hiddendoor
Re AT taking himself seriously

Cannot for the life of me imagine why. After that shite.
