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!

Loving Raye - she’s got a great voice, and I love her lyrics.

Blossoms are fucking brilliant live.

Raye is beyond.. what a woman ❤️

Ra ye is giving me Amy Winehouse vibes a little bit.
I like her style.

She’s also had to deal with a lot of shit. And has come out on top. Go Raye!

When are the Blossoms on ?

Found it , Saturday night at six

Damnit I was out and missed Rick - how long does it take for them to put it on iPlayer? Can't see it's there yet. I enjoyed the Lightening Seeds, 3 Lions got the crowd going,

Late joining but so far I have really enjoyed Raye, Foo Fighters, Hozier, Texas and Rick Astley. Very disappointed with Artic Monkeys last night 😴

If you go on the iplayer and chose pyramid stage and “watch from start”
you may, if your lucky, be able to catch it. Depending how they’ve set it up today

Love Tom Grennan now and looking forward to lewis capaldi later

Blonde were shocking at IOW my big fan of a husband switched it so dont think will seek that one out

Just put the other stage on, started from the beginning. How did I miss the lathams there. They are fab.

this years line up is right up my street.

Thanks Vegetables, I'll give it a try

Stupid phone. Lathums.
I do know better than you phone. Despite what you think.

Britney Spears allegedly spotted at Bristol Airport - ooooh

I have to say I loved Arctic Monkeys' set last night BUT I was coming to them as someone with virtually zero familiarity with their songs beyond 'I Bet You...'. So I was listening to the songs on their own merits and really liked what I heard. A review I've read this morning suggested that there wasn't enough of the earlier stuff the fans would have liked to hear, though? - so I get why reviews were mixed, but yeah I loved it (especially the strong Bowie vibe I was getting from Alex's vocals, being as I'm a Bowie fan).

So far I've also enjoyed Rick Astley (what an eclectic set!) and the tail end of the Foo Fighters' set which was all I caught, going to watch the beginning at some point.

Indeed. I think it was partly because she performed without a backing band? I did hear there was a lot of misogyny being chucked about, but I don't know what it consisted of. I hadn't actually heard of her till this morning.

eltons Special guest?!?

Just finished work and catching up on I player.....Rick Astley.....wow, he's definitely got better with age!

Ahhh she was my guess for Elton’s guest. I have friends who will corroborate!

My 6yo loved Churches, and enjoyed watching Fred Again on my shoulders in our front room.
Foo Fighters were awesome, spontaneous cheering from everyone watching in our local
Can't wait for GnR tonight!

Not caught up with the whole thread, but anyone else catch Flohio on the Park stage? Wow, just loved her. Very talented British/nigerian crossover rapper, great music and good performance, playing to a small but appreciative audience. Must check her out on spotify.
On the other hand, was very disappointed by Wizkid last night. I like a lot of his music but that was an awful non-preformance relying on recorded music and him just shouting over the mike. Doesn't qualify for a live performance in my book.
Watching the wonderful Amadou and Mariam now

Tom Grennan having a storming set on IPlayer now

@Figgygal I'm a big Blondie fan- but they haven't been great last couple of times I caught them - nor in all fairness was Elton John -

What abuse has Billy nomates had? She was great.. Christine and the queen vibes!
