Glastonbury watchalong

[faffadoodledo]

Is there already a thread?
Loving The Sugababes. Sounding and looking great. And seem to having loads of fun.
Paul Heaton - love him

Showing my age!

Thank God he didn't come on.

Apparently rumours that Sam Smith will appear with someone as a special guest, maybe with Coldplay?

Some great ones this year, I would love to see James and the Breeders.

None of the big names this year are my favourite really, if I was attending I would be disappointed by Shania twain on the legends stage.
I don't think there's enough Pixies style rock bands to sustain all the glasto stages every year.

Ohhhh that would be a Must Miss !

Jesus Christ. That sounds absolutely brutally awful in all respects 😆

I thought Paul Heaton was fab (and he's allegedly a lovely person from people I know who have met him). Loved Norman Cook's appearance and the shot of him watching from the side.

Rianne Downey did a great job in Jackie Abbot's absence - she's only 23 so half the songs would have been written before she was born.

Turned Dua Lipa off. Won't be watching Coldplay as I find them boring and irritatingly pretentious. Will catch up this afternoon on lots I have missed.

Just catching up...watched the Idles who were certainly energetic! Knew nothing about them but I liked their Fuck the King rant.
Loved PJ Harvey...she looked stunning.
Looking forward to Last Dinner Party later

I'm just watching bits here and there. I enjoy watching but would not enjoy being there (unless I could be dropped in where I wanted and then whisked away to somewhere comfy afterwards)

Enjoyed Paul Heaton and Dexys. Going to look out for Keane, The Breeders and Bloc Party today. Doesn't seem to be as many acts that appeal to me this year.

I see on the Woodsies lineup for today it is TBA between 4-5pm 🤔

Kasabian apparently

I'm watching Bar Italia now. They have three singers, none of whom can sing. It works on record as a sort of out of tune low-fi thing, but it really doesn't work live!

Loved Norman and Paul. Misty eyed at the end, like Norman!
Cyndi Lauder, James, Keane, Nothing but Thieves for us next.
We’ve seen Confidence Man last year so interested to catch up on their set.
Dave Grohl was spotted side of stage- will he pop up as a guest I wonder?

Incredibly they didn't film it! ( a music journo said so on TwiX )

ooh interesting!

Just watched Bombay Bicycle Club who were great...another band I was aware of but didn't know. Bonus of Damon Albarn guesting

Cyndi Cyndi Cyndi please let this be teething problems 🙏 😭

Hope we see Dave performing!

Watching Cyndi now, there's so many flags! One just says TITS😂

Bloody hell, she's 71?!

DH says he wouldn’t want to go back now due to all the flags. They shouldn’t be allowed at the front, even the Tv shots you can’t see stuff now

Bonus points from me for playing the recorder. And the Goonies theme to open. Love her outfit.

I know, they're really annoying!

I do like this flag tho...

Only just tuned in, she sounds great. Was it a bit wobbly at the start.
She is bloody unbelievable for 71!!!

Seems like Cyndi has the usual glastonbury issues where they can't hear themselves in the monitor. They're always gesticulating upwards motions. I think I saw an interview with Alex Turner where he says it's just a mess on stage and you never know if you'll be able to hear anything and that's part of the excitement.
