Glastonbury worst I've seen!

[Ontobetterthings]

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?

All of the great artists are old or dead.
Glastonbury as an event has to keep going as a cash cow, but it is hard to justify ticket prices for the line-ups they have now.
And the odd 'controversial' act sticking on some balaclavas and an Irish flag is about as middle-class as it gets. Kneecap probably shop at Waitrose.

Thanks for the laugh 🤣

Yes of course 'people sit down and be quiet' when we are informed and not spouting hate but that ragtag trio can accidentally shout 'up hezbollah' and 'kill yer MP' and their excitable cheerleaders go wild .

?!?
Neil Young, Alanis Morissette, Supergrass, probably Pulp, Nile Rodgers, Rod Stewart and The Selector and that’s just the main stage this weekend…

As someome who cannot sing or play an insrument but whose life would be berefit without music, I just love to marvel at the live performances, the talent, the voices, the moves, the confidence, the joy of the crowd as they sing along. I find it very moving and a lovely escape from the state of the world

I watched a bit of 1975 to see what the fuss was about and had to turn off after one song. So far I've enjoyed Wet Leg, CMAT, English Teacher and Bob Vylan. I'm not a big fan of Self Esteem but I thought she put on a good show.
DD (11) was glued to Beabadoobee, not really my thing but I didn't mind it.

I'm looking forward to Doechii later.

I watched that yesterday but wasn’t overly impressed. The setlist was a bit meh I thought and when they wheeled on that Elvis bloke it was very cringeworthy.

Shed Seven are a great small capacity indoor band for me. Saw them in Liverpool last year and they were brilliant.

I saw Shed Seven about 23 years ago in Islington. Happy days.

Huge difference between international borders and physical fences to prevent a small area from being overwhelmed with unsafe crowd numbers. You can't just barge your way into Wimbledon, or the Proms either

We don't have Waitrose in Belfast, we only got Tesco and Sainsburys as part of the GFA.

I'm not a fan of music really but indie/rock type music in particular is just dreadful imo. Camping looks like a massive headache to me. Not to mention the woke, middle class leftie types that seem to love it...The whole thing looks like my worst nightmare...I felt like that when I was younger too.

Don't think those at Wimbledon and the proms waltz about waving 'no borders' banners though do they?

It's the optics. Glastonbury seems full of absolutely hypocritical fools.

No thanks. I am not interested in distasteful political promotion.

I think if you can't find ANY music you like at a festival as big as Glastonbury then it's probably a you problem.

pretty sure there's a carbon copy of this thread every year, it's boring.

Exactly this. It's quite a stretch to be offended at crowd control for people who support free movement. No doubt a few people on here would cheer at a few lefties being trampled to death. 🙄

Your dedication to Kneecap is admirable but although they are all bilingual I don't think they have picked up English slang like innit and it was 'gratitude' that the British government didn't bomb Belfast from the skies....the IRA didn't have an air force innit?

Don't know where to start with this one.

So past it I don't even watch from the comfort of my own sofa now

We need a reform festival, with no foreign food, no foreign music and British values such as proper queuing for warm beer, an insurance based system for medical care, wife beating bulldog tattooed pink racists area, the blame foriners for everything stage,
the Nigel sings the Brexit blues and how it would have made us all millionaires if he had dun Brexit and Antiwoke songs and proper men and women’s toilets where they inspect your genitals to apportion gender.

Bob Vylan are on R6 a lot. A fair few listen to that. They're not that out there.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love you, you are Queen Curmudgeon... 🙇‍♀️😍

No we don't want anyone trampled to death.

Surely though, surely if one can understand the need for rules and protocols for their fun times they can understand rules and regulations are needed for borders and immigration too? I know it's stretch to think they may be able to process such complex information.

Butlins for the middle class

😆😆😆Totally accurate description
