Glastonbury 2024

[Blue Maverick]

One of the funniest things I’ve seen on tv for ages that, spot on.

I thought this when I saw it live - have to say Shania breaking watershed rules was NOT on my Glasto Bingo Card

Shania Twain risks 'Ofcom complaints' with Glastonbury 'rule break'

The country singer stunned some viewers watching at home on the BBC as she introduced one of her songs

My other half knows her music far better than me and even she said she'd never heard of her!

Sz who?

Let’s be honest, there’s nothing new that us FOC’s like. The kids might be down with SZA on social media, but us FOC’s still want to see the biggest artists and groups live from the 80’s onwards.

Steel Pulse and PJ Harvey were excellent. Coldplay, Shania etc were f**king shite and that's being kind.

My last take on it all......

Coldplay - well, I think Coldplay are shite, but I accept they do put on a show.

James - Excellent
Kasabian - Excellent

But.......Paul Heaton and Rianne Downey - just fuckin superb

And I type this as I'm watching their set on iPlayer (again for the third time)

Just something about this performance

Avril Lavigne looked very nice.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I think it was who has headlined before SZA without ever having a number one album or single.

Yep, and there are shitloads. The Smiths, The Levellers, Echo and the Bunnymen, The Cure, Suzanne Vega, Psychedelic Furs, Level 42, Suzanne Vega, Van Morrison, Youssou N'Dour, Elvis Costello and Skunk Anansie all headlined before having a number one album or single.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

And of course everyone is on social media.

Well no, but I'm saying that there's a good chance even a casual listener will have heard that song. It's absolutely fine to have not heard of her. But saying that she shouldn't headline Glastonbury because you haven't heard of her is like me saying Oppenheimer shouldn't win the Oscar because I haven't seen in.
