Glastonbury (from your sofa)- what have you enjoyed so far?

[Punkypinky]

Loved Wet Leg and St Vincent so far - enjoying Billie Ellish right now.

Been to the festival 5 times and it's great fun but I am enjoying being indoors and comfy and warm and clean - must be getting old!

Here we go

Oh ffs

Joining late - god this is awful. Why do these ageing rockers insist on playing new stuff. Its an inevitable crowd killer, he even acknowledged it saying the mobile phones light up when he plays the classics and it's a black hole when he sings the new stuff!

Is it vanity? Does he actually thik his new stuff will go down well in a gig like this? Anyone could have told him that the crowd just want to hear the classings and have a good singalong!

It has maybe already been talked about here but I'm being a bit lazy... but did bbc cut Olivia Rodrigo's set? I was watching it, but then we had guests in and out and I wasn't paying 100% attention and turned it over when I thought she was finished. But I've just seen she had lily allen come on! So either I was an eejit and just turned it over too soon, or they cut it. Likely to be the first option tbf

Maybe that's it - more non-music fans go these days? People who just want to hear tunes they know backwards.

I only picked 97 because I happened to be there that year, but I bet the lists for the rest of the 90s are similar - predominantly acts that were at the cutting edge at the time.

I've given up. Can't cope with any more of this drivel.

Watching Jessie Ware on the Park Stage now.

@biscuiteer thank you. I’ve had some wine and really loving it! 😂
I do think that there should be current acts headlining though - just to prove that rock music is NOT dead!

97!

Better, maybe Yellow Submarine is on it's way after all.

Jessie Ware would be better on main stage tbh. She's very good.

He noticed and sounded a bit put out that people only had their phones up for Beatles songs.

Exactly! If the kids are listening to the same music as their parents did, it's a sign rock is in trouble!

The foels were brilliant
Rock isn't dead whilst they are around!

He is a genius, he has a great legacy, he changed music.

But his live performance is not enjoyable any more. He can't make the notes. He can't hold them. His voice is frail and croaky . No amount of knowing how great he is and was can make it pleasant to listen to. For me anyway. Sorry.

@WildThing87 I didn't see Lily Allen but I missed some of the beginning.

Not necessarily, Kate Bush ?

Next year they need to get Cliff headlining.

Foals rather !
Long day

I think it was at the end of her set. They sang Lilys song F*ck You, and dedicated it to the us Supreme Court... sooo may not have been BBC's cup of tea

Not Cliff ! I wouldn't sit up past my bedtime for him.
..

Guess phones gone off again. Jeez

Fair point re: Kate Bush

Fuck, why can't Kate headline? Nostalgia and current all at once. The perfect package.

@Sparklingbrook @WildThing87 I’ll put up with another hour of this to see Bruce! Pity he can’t just take over and perform his own songs.

How do you charge up your phone in a field ?
Do they have special areas with leads ?
