Glastonbury 2024 - In running

You've missed The Vaccines and Dexys.

Next up LCD Soundsystem  then IDLES and Fontaines DC.

Fatboy slim a bit of a one trick pony but really enjoyed it (and Rita) last year. On the Park stage tonight at 10-11.30pm, that's the evening sorted.

Agree it looks a bit meh overall.

Sugar babes now on

Use like old bit gastro on bbc
10-15 years ago
Now it’s proper ****
Even got them bed wetters Coldplay bzck again for umpteenth time

Radio head or REM
Or Oasis turn up than that be some show

It's definitely become much more pop in the last few years. Rock has lost the war. Not a great deal on for me this year though PJ Harvey was good earlier.

Still quite good, according to someone on another thread i'm enjoying it though have to watch the manboobs.

BBC tbf great coverage.

Oasis are dreadful outdoors.

indoors too

Never really liked them,seem to play Reading but not getting enough bobs for this?

Went once about 25 years ago when I was a young wipper snapper. Spent the whole time off my head on acid, great times.

Went in 02. Line up was a bit crap. QOTSA (with Grohl!) and Belle & Sebastian (with the lass who sings Lazy Line Painter Jane!!) were highlights (though I had the squits by B&S on sunday evening so was backtracking to the loos through their set. But yeah, the highlights were taking things I shouldn't have and wandering round finding new things and dancing like a tit till 7am. Essential stuff when you're young.

Ldc sound system never heard of them
Must been out same time as killers

Think it was 89 i went or whenever The Cure,Happy Mondays and Sinead O'Connor(a pin drop could be heard) played.

Amazing i was the opposite with bowel movements and hadn't a dump for about 4 days fortunately, twas the stuff i think.

Its all bullshit, the amount of time listening to music etc back in the day.

Sounds like uni, never went to Glastonbury but did do a Bristol festival around 87,was a bit chit.

I'm looking forward to watching Cyndi Lauper tomorrow (Pyramid Stage 2.30-3.30)

Just like yhtl I've never been to Glastonbury but I saw Yes at Reading early 70's

I saw cyndi at Newcastle City hall she was brilliant.

She had David macalmont as support and he came on to
do time after time with her and that was great too.

She's so unusual was one of my favourite albums, sadly
I had it on cassette and was a begga to keep rewinding
on my Walkman, lol.

What's a walkman?

A portable device battery operated to listen
to music. You stuck cassette in and it played into headphones.

Sort of early ipod but you had to load music.

Superceded by discman, which played cds

Invented by Sony but numerous cheapos were available
of varying quality of playback and reliability.

Walkman was around £100 in 1980 so a lot of money
cheapos were a few quid by late 80s.

Sounds too much like hard work to me. I'll stick to listening to Radio Luxembourg under the covers in bed every night wirh the signal drifting off to leave silence (usually when your favourite record came on)

I mean Dua Lipa, when did Glasto turn into a pop concert?

She's on now of course but good as she is I relly need to realise that I'm no longer in the first flush of youth (but get what you're saying laying)

Just for context, in 1969 when I was 16 two streetwise guys knew I liked music other than the run-of-the-mill stuff & took me to see Free(Eternal thanks Mick & Del)

Braverman seething

..

Just noticed tomorrow (Sat) Acoustic Stage 5.00 - 6.00 The Manfreds featuring Paul Jones & Mike D'Abo

Jeez! Last time I saw Paul Jones was when he was with the Blues Band well over 20 years ago (Jools Holland's brother was on the keyboards). Paul must have been well over 60 then (but had the energy of someone in their 30's)

gaff Riddled with well off Wokey Stine and Migrant supporting Sh1t

I would have rather have steel nails driven through my sack than be surrounded by that

Watching Cyndi Lauper now, just managed to grab some lunch after I'd watched Ayra Starr (aka Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe)

Siging "I drove all night" now, that has made my day!

singing

watched the Paul Heaton set on iplayer last night..was never a huge fan of The Housemartins or Beautiful South but some good songs I've appreciated a bit more overtime and good nostalgia to some as well..

Strange the Last time Stine supporters were at a Music Fest 1200 Hundred people Were Raped butchered and Murdered 

Shame on this Filth flying that flag at this Music festival , Have they no respect 

I see they have 40 foot fencing , Just in case another few Para gliders arrive

Case man, you are taking on the worries of the world. For the weekend it is forget it all and have a few beers,enjoy the football as well as the music and chill a bit.

We are all concerned citizens of this planet but sometimes we have to pass the mantle onto others even if it is for a short time.

..... Was just going to post the same, very underrated is Heaton, nice touch with the Norman Cook return.

Bbc showing Glastonbury has been a great development.

Some great stuff last year, tough to beat.

An awful loss to the forum but Peckerdunne would have liked The Walloping Marys, cheers man.

gonna give the breeders a bash @ 7.30 ... if i dont expect much i wont be disappointed

First time i heard of 'the last dinner party', very talented,maybe even classically trained,the lead singer very good on her notes.

Different and not everyones cup of tea but thought they were v good live.

Feck,what a load of oestrogen.

going to have to watch The Breeders set at some point so see if they've learned to play their instruments yet...

good raw Indie band live of their time though...Cannonball still an Indie classic for anyone that hasn't absorbed themselves anally yet..

cheers to Lapsy re other stuff - appreciated.

Enjoyed Last Dinner Party. They always remind me of Sparks with their theatricality. Made for Glastonbury.

Just watched The Breeders too. Seen them a few times. Kim's voice wasn't at its best though sadly.



Not much else grabbing me on the line up tbh today.

Kim's voice wasn't at its best though sadly.

crack pipes aren't great for the vocal chords...(I'm absolutely not suggesting she used such things)

Enjoying Coldplay to be fair to them. I liked their first two albums at the time. Thought Fix You was an absolute dog of a song (still do) and then they went a bit pop and left me behind. But they're sort of treating this like an old fashioned Saturday night variety tv show with people coming on and off and all kinds going on. F*ck it. Go big or go home.


Going to check out Keane's set in a bit. Was never really big on them but saw a clip and Tom's voice still sounds ridiculously good. I had my eyes lazered twenty years ago, and their album was on repeat while I lay in a dark room, in a fever, in proper pain, unable to see while my relatively new girlfriend looked after me and was playing the only record she had that I thought was ok (Eros Ramazzotti or Anastacia wouldn't remotely have cut it). Really nice to see Tom well and doing well after his troubles.

I bought 'Yellow' when it came out..quite liked a few bits and pieces after ...even now the odd song...but never has a band of that kind of origin been this average and this rich...

ouch on the eyes btw...love some of Keanes stuff but found their albums massively underwhelming - maybe just the wrong time for me as I was beginning to spend less time on music..

It's all been 3rd rate sh!t.

Not sure about in running, ST should be running for cover

Doesn't matter that ST can't sing live when she looks like she does!

Just watched Blondshell who I like a lot, putting Ms Twain on now. Don't quite see her as a fit for this slot. Only has about 3 or 4 well known songs doesn't she, and everything else is just gonna be mid-paced line-dancing nonsense or weepy ballads. You just want big pop hits to sing and dance to for this bit. Still looks great though.

The sound has been abysmal all weekend. That's down to Glastonbury not the artists.

You just want big pop hits to sing and dance to for this

When the Beatles toured they did 30 to 45 mins max

Just watched Avril Lavigne on the iPlayer. Looked like she drew a crowd as big as Coldplay's
