Glastonbury 2025

She done a couple great albums back In the day, writes and plays all her own stuff. What’s not to like.

I'll give you the inside track once I've seen her in Lytham next week BH..........

It’s the annual thread where a certain demographic re-realise that their era of music is still over.

I tend to dip in and out and watch threads of the artists I’m interested in and then by word of mouth recommendations.

Very true and very funny............. :-)

Going to be an End of the Road highlight for me, too. If Rebecca finishes with "Deep Blue Okay" I'll be in bits.

She will do going off that. Was a great show, wasn’t sure between seeing her and Viagra Boys but that’s made my mind up :)

You went during the same period as me the. 2016 was an outlier. I'm 48 so possibly a younger old fart too?! Anyway the big indie bands stopped being mainstream at the end of the 90s but there was still loads of alternative stuff on the Glasto bill. Not this much pop, but I guess times change. I recall everyone being baffled that Sugababes were even there in 2003. If they were in their prime now they'd be headlining the Pyramid! The alt stuff seemed to draw big crowds today though so I suppose there's still something for everyone.

That was my only year there - to be fair think they were on about 11am on the Sunday and whilst me and my mate were trying to rehydrate ourselves in our tent via the medium of vodka and fake Red Bull whilst working through our remaining substances, they were a decent start to the day........... :-)

Lead singer is rag from York though

On that note - they are utter shite and always have been............ ;-)

Franz Ferdinand's set is worth checking out. Especially the guest "vocalist" during "Take Me Out".
Other than that I've watched Supergrass (looked bored and indifferent), Blossoms (same set they've been touring since last year, but still entertaining), Wet Leg and Self Esteem.

Yeah, Supergrass are usually great live, they were great in 2022. Not so much yesterday. Maybe being the first band on at midday wasn't really ideal.

The sound was shocking though too. The BBC must've had a work experience lad or lass doing the sound for the TV mix. I know they do a mix that goes on the live broadcast but I can't understand how it can be so bad. You couldn't hear the keys half the time, and the vocals were way way louder than the other instrument.

Seeing Weezer on Monday in Halifax so eager to check them out on the BBC today. For all my sins (and theirs) they've ended up as my absolute faves over the years. Happy they're finally getting invited back to Glasto.

Raye tonight at 8.00pm. Terrific voice.

 

[beehive_bob]

Kaiser Chiefs on at noon on the Park Stage so might watch a bit of that. Annoyingly the Acoustic Stage isn't broadcast as wouldn't have minded seeing Nick Lowe and The Bluebells. Numan at 6pm on Park.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Beth Gibbons (Portishead) from 9 -10PM on BBC4 HD.

Photo on the BBC website — the epitome of lazy journalism. The heading is “Why are there so many scousers at Glastonbury?”. And a photo of a woman wearing — wait for it! — a Liverpool F.C. top.
I think if I were an Everton fan, or hell, even a Tranmere fan, that would annoy the shit out of me. Hell, if I were simply from Liverpool, not in the least interested in football, and at Glastonbury, it would irritate me.

Liverpool = Liverpool Football Club. The equation is simple, and it's for the simple-minded.

Worst line up in Glasto history…

Hasn't a certain Mancunian "singer" (loose definition of the term) ever appeared there then? The organisers are probably scared about him not turning up.

 

[stonerblue]

Only watched 10 mins of it and already getting annoyed at the knobs with their crap flags then the people pretending they're enjoying it much more than they really whilst trying to act natural with a t.v camera in their faces.
Cnuts on shoulders hoping to get spotted whilst blocking others view

hahahahah. lOve this

 

[stonerblue]

Saw a young girl with a city shirt on someone's shoulders last night. Surprised the BBC having wrote an article about mancs...not.

Neil Young will be broadcast now in full.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Enjoy (or not) everyone.

every year the same, constant moaning and bitterness about a Music festival.
