Glastonbury 2023

Not noticed this Capaldi kid before.

He seems a bit “odd”?

Not very well apparently, got tourettes and really struggled with an attack before the set.

I deliver up in Scotland and there was a customer on her phone for 4 hours trying to get tickets for his concert, she was 26k in the queue lol

She didn't get a ticket btw

Have the Levellers been on yet ?

Special guests in Elton’s set apparently.

My son did sound at Uni and he commented to me that not 1 band who has been on has sounded "right". His main gripes were Axl Rose (obviously), The Pretenders (he said the singing was in a different key to the band), and of course the Arctic Monkeys.

Yeah it sounds like they’re messing with the vocals and pitching them in a different key compared to the music. Don’t even know if that’s possible, but loads have sounded out of key.

Although it makes you appreciate Tom Smith here as it’s not affecting him in the slightest.

Has a Pizza brand which sells in Iceland - who'd guess that eh? To be fair he is a troubled soul who soldiers on and has a following so fair play.

Or somehow they don't have decent floor monitors so the vocalists can't hear themselves?

Either way, doesn't explain why all the vocals appear to be too quiet to the rest of the backdrop............

You can blame the singers, plenty have sounded fine too.

I thought the only rule for festivals was to make sure that the singer was louder than the drummer...?
The rest can sort themselves out.

That’s a big queue just to have to turn up and sing the songs yourself.

That would go down well lol :-)

Well a lot of bands don't rely completely on floor monitors anymore, pretty much 90% of them or more use in ears.

As for the mix, well, the mix we hear on the broadcast is the broadcast Mix and different from what the crowd are hearing at the front of house, which is controlled by the bands own sound engineers, so you can basically put that down to whoever is doing the BBC broadcast mix are simply not very good.
