Glastonbury 2024

[Bluemoon dan]

If you can't laugh at a guy brave enough to get up there with parkinson's disease then what can you laugh at eh?

I just didn't think they'd be quite as obvious and on the nose as to do it but fair enough they did and seem to have come out with lots of credit so perhaps I read it wrongly.

Chris Martin is my biggest problem with Coldplay. He’s always seemed a very insipid front man.

 

[hammocity]

Well I enjoyed it anyway, ya miserable bastards :)

All about opinions, my Dad who was 46 in 1979 used to regularly shout up the stairs "turn that rubbish down" when I was playing my Punk and New Wave music especially when I had the Pistols or the Clash on, still prominent bands on my playlist.

 

[burning blue soul]

I think they've been pretty average.

They gave the BBC viewers what they wanted. We can break the performance down to the nth degree, but the beeb will be delighted and so will the viewers.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

It was amazing. I get what people’s perception of a band and music can be.

Mine is entertainment. That was fucking amazing as they always are.

I’m 70 next year and I thought he was ace. I saw Wilson Picket live.

What’s this funky stuff on bbc4 now?

 

[staffsblue]

Now watching Confidence Man on the I Player. They are basically the Australian Vengaboys but they have tunes. Saw them supporting New Order last year and thought they were shit, but they're grown on me.

Norman Cook has the looks and mannerisms of John Lydon's younger brother (Johnny Rotten to those of you too young), just seen a short clip of him, uncanny or maybe the last glass of vino I've just had.

 

[City Raider]

Your taste ain’t my taste. Nothing wrong with that. That’s what makes Glastonbury special, it’s inclusive.

Don’t dive in. Stay on your feet.

Not edgy enough for my taste, that said as a band they are clearly talented, have an instantly recognisable style to their music and with the lighting and pyrotechnics can put on a show.
I can’t say I like or dislike their music it’s in the same box as things like Bryan Adams and Ed Sheeran. It’s the musical equivalent of vanilla ice cream, digestive biscuits or ready salted crisps, which are nice, all very predictable, but just doesn’t excite me.

Magnolia and Jelly Babies

Coldplay do put on a very slick live show.

I definitely wouldn't listen to them in my spare time, but they tick all the boxes for a glastonbury headliner.

 

[Barcon]

Never heard of it.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

The streets are mint.

Are they not paved with gold anymore?

 

[Tuearts right boot]

100 thousand people having the time of there lives but people on here are telling them they're wrong ffs.

They are wrong, they just dont know it :)

 

[stevemacca]

14 years of austerity, vote them OUT

 

[RiversideBlue]

100,000 people proves nothing. More than that watch the Dippers and Rags combined every fortnight. They're wrong too

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Nowt wrong with Coldplay

That's like saying there's nothing wrong with Cheadle.
