Real lump in the throat watching that Capaldi set

£335 is pricey, but that’s a whole weekend and pretty much the most famous artists and bands around the world - plus so many other stages for a bit of everything

In terms of value for money - it beats paying 60/70 quid to watch a prem game for 90 minutes

Exactly there is 88 stages at glastonbury and about 3000 artists playing. Part of the experience is watching people you've never heard of.

 

[chesterbells]

Leftfield! :-))

 

[urban genie]

Axls voice is shot to shit

back to Rina Sawayana

 

[BimboBob]

It's rock!

 

[Bluemanc100]

Good call. Better than the balloon I was just watching singing to children on bbc1. Never seen that Lewis Capaldi before, just heard him in the car radio constantly on every channel. Total shit

He’s got big problems that lad.. Sad to see

 

[chesterbells]

Ave it!

 

[bluethrunthru]

I’m assuming this will from Lewis to GnR when it’s time?

When are Great Northern Railways on then?

 

[bluemoon32]

love him to death - seen him 15 plus times - can name 20 brilliant songs far better than any of his hits... but, sadly, you are right

Hell of a back catalogue & hugely talented, shame his voice went

 

[Bluemanc100]

Real lump in the throat watching that Capaldi set

He’s fucked isn’t he… Gutted for him

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Why have they got some woman doing sign language in the Cornor doing an impression of mick jagger

 

[dronefromsector7G]

Been out all day so missed loads. Got back an hour ago now about to go back out into town.

You lost me at "only five decent acts a year on average".

One of the best things about attending a festival is having the chance to sample new things. It's a five day smorgasbord of new experiences for £335. A bargain.

No-one goes to a festival just to see their favourite big name bands.

Bang on. Folk apply for Glastonbury, or my small festivals like End of the Road and one dayers in Sheffield, for much more than the headliners.

At End of the Road it's the young acts in the bottom of the line-up that are my highlights; e.g. Julia Jacklin, Shame, Lucy Dacus, Squid a few years back.

Glasto is also I'm sure great place to hear new music but impression I get is that BBC only interested in heritage acts and stuff that's already fairly well known. Some truly naff coverage e,g. "Rick Astley doesn't let Glastonbury down";

 

[jimharri]

You would tho?

Nope; she's even older than me.

 

[bluesmith]

He’s fucked isn’t he… Gutted for him

Proper shame as hes clearly a top lad, living his dream.

 

[fatha clark]

What did Eddie Izzard do with Axl Rose?

You've got the sign language channel on.

 

[hilts]

Axl and slash auditioning for shallow Hal 2

Is this the karaoke stage?
