What did you think? We were there last night too and I actually thought they were brilliant. I'd read so many mixed reviews that I was a bit worried but we were really pleasantly surprised by how good they were. I mean, we are never going to get more than a few words out of Alex but he has always been the same. I don't even think it's about him being too cool - I think he just can't do it. As a front man, I actually think he has gotten better at it over the years Still slightly gutted I miss A Certain Romance on Friday. I was at Heaton Park for Courteeners. AM blew them out of park

Think I've knackered my back jumping up and down on hearing the opening bars. I've seen them a good few times over the years - tonight was probably my favourite seeing them. The band are really tight, Alex's voice really strong and the setlist just flows really well. The sound was absolutely perfect. I was at Courteeners last night at Heaton Park. The 2 gigs were chalk and cheese. Liam et al could learn a thing from them. I mean, last night was a great singalong but totally mediocre in comparison Even more gutted I'm ticketless now

Seeing them tomorrow (tonight). I've honestly dreamed of hearing this for weeks and have religiously been checking the setlists. Just home from another gig and have seen it. A teeny weeny bit optimistic I'll hear it tomorrow and I'll be a whole lot gutted if I don't considering that they are switching up the opener

I would be all over that! I absolutely love them - they remind me so much of my mum who loved them too 🙂

Filled it in a couple of days ago. My head is still firmly implanted up their arses I gushed that much 🤣 I'm another who also mentioned about bringing your own booze as an answer to the question about what may make you not attend. Increased capacity, increased security and police presence and booze... would totally change the demographic and vibe

That would be brilliant. I've seen him a few times and I have never seen him anything other than awesome - it would be an incredible singalong ❤️

I saw them on Wednesday night - absolutely joyous ❤️ There was a time when I'd tell everyone I couldn't stand Coldplay until I was coerced into seeing them at Glastonbury in 2016. My son asked me to just give them 10 minutes and if I hated it he'd come somewhere else with me. I stayed for the full set and they were amazing. I mean, I'm never going to be queuing on Record Store Day to buy merch or anything- but they are fantastic live 🙂

The 'some like it hot' toastie was just elite ❤️ I'm sure it's the same place as opposite Leftfield at Glastonbury. I usually go for a toastie, a wine from the wine bar next door and then head in to Leftfield to listen to the late morning debates 🙂 I'm really glad you managed to have happy moments despite the sadness

If we are going by band t shirts, Ferocious D will be on every stage in every slot! 🤣

This was pretty much exactly the conversation our group all had. It was like they had taken all of the things we love so much about Glastonbury, left out the bits we hate and put them all in a field and made it manageable. We absolutely loved the vibe. My friend was incredulous when I told her that, at nearly 50, I have NEVER dressed up in fancy dress. It's just never really appealed for whatever reason. We are already planning our outfits for next year. We had serious fancy dress envy on Sunday

First timer here and absolutely loved it. Its been a sh*t 12 months. My mum died just before Glastonbury last year then we didn't get tickets in November. We had just bought Bearded tickets and a couple of weeks later my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 throat cancer. As an only child, I took a career break and have spent the last few months living with him to get him through treatment. Up until a fortnight before, I was having to tube feed him so wasn't sure we would get there Dad is doing great, and I'm so thankful for getting to spend a few days in a field where I could just breathe again. I've been to a fair few gigs and festivals over the years but I'm certain that was the best organised. We never encountered any queues, any litter or any knobheads. The line-up was great but what made it even better was the demographic. We actually came away feeling OK about a lack of Glastonbury tickets which I never thought I'd say. It might be post-festival euphoria, and just gratitude for getting to do what I love after having to cancel so many plans recently, but I genuinely think I enjoyed it more than I have done Glastonbury which can be really bloody hard work

Put a zero in front of mine and it's a paint sprayers in Hampshire

First resale for me in over a decade. I'm trying to be grown up about - luck had to run out at some point 2 groups of 6 and a group of 3. Only the 3 were successful

I'm trying really hard to be a grown up about it, but you can currently trip over my pouting lip. Told me my card was declined once and then payment details entered twice, authorisation code twice, and still nothing I would rather not have even gotten through to the booking page than be kicked out after paying

7 of them were spent repeating 'economic stability'

Ha! You're absolutely right 🙂 3 times I've managed to miss him this year. Album launch in April I had a stomach bug. Sheffield 3 weeks or so ago I had a chest infection, and Manchester on Tuesday. I was actually ready to go and pick my son up to go and figured I'd grab something to eat - couldn't taste a thing so figured I better test just in case. I felt fine but going anyway wasn't really an option for me. I'm a nurse - our covid admissions over the last 3 weeks have quadrupled and we are back to having to cancel surgery as we have no beds. I'd just be adding to the issue Feel like I've been hit by a bus now though Ah well - I did manage to see him in Leeds 😀 I have defintely seen him more than any other artists. I think it's the universe's way of telling me to listen to some new music for gods sake!

None of you are making me feel any better! Seriously, glad you all had a great time 😊 I grabbed them through a Live National presale

Tested positive yesterday afternoon. Took myself off to isolate in the spare bed and held a pity party for one whilst watching the setlist be updated on Setlist.fm. I'm still not over missing out on 'Thatcher Fucked the Kids'.... again! Just managed to grab tickets for York in January 🙂

How was the sound? I saw a couple of Facebook posts saying it was woeful! I saw him last week in Leeds and there was some sound hiccups which resulted in a little FT tantrum... he was not a happy bunny! The setlist looks fantastic from last night! 👌 I'd be happy with that for Manchester on Tuesday 🙂 ... think he's my most seen act too!

They have just retracted it because it was a bit ridiculous I mean, I get asking people who are there from Fri - Mon to leave by 10am Monday I get those there from Mon - Fri now getting a portion refunded and are arriving Tuesday instead Those there Fri to Fri were being asked to leave Monday at 10am and come back Tuesday which is just a whole load of a logistical nightmare for many I got back from Centre Parcs on Friday after taking my dad for a few days. I'd have been really disappointed if I was due to go Monday but fuming if I had already been there 3 days and then expected to leave and come back 24 hours later Think they've realised this was going to turn out to be a bit of a PR nightmare. They've basically said those there Fri to Fri can stay but with no activities etc open on Monday

That's really kind - thank you ❤ My dad is awesome. He climbed Snowdon for his 80th birthday and raised a couple of grand for the ICU mum was on. I mean, he has no idea how to pay a bill or Internet banking but he's fab! Please do read up on it S - slurred speech or confusion E - extreme muscle pain or cramps P - passing no urine all day S - severe breathlessness I - imagining you are going to die S - Skin colour changes (mottling, rash, extreme redness) Mum went from talking to my son on the phone at 4pm completely coherent - she just felt like she had a bit of indigestion to start with. By 6pm she was unresponsive. I live 80 miles away and by the time I got there (the ambulance still hadn't arrived) she had a temperature of over 40, a blood pressure so low I couldn't get a reading, a heart rate so fast I couldn't count her pulse as it was too fast for me to keep up, and a respiratory rate of around 50 breaths a minute - she was undoubtedly about to arrest. It honestly can happen THAT fast and, despite being a nurse for 20 odd years, I was totally unaware of exactly HOW fast it could happen. The more likely cause was biliary sepsis. We think her bile duct was full of sludge and became infected which entered her blood stream. She was too unstable to go through the CT scanner though for a more indepth look I'll keep bleating about it and telling her story even if it just raises a tiny bit of awareness

Honestly? Its all a bit shit really but we will get there. I'm an only child and my son is an only child and the 4 of us were ridiculously close. Now it's me, Dad and Joe and the balance doesn't quite seem right anymore. My dad is amazing though. He's 80, still working and had spent the last 4 months holding my hand and drying my tears whilst trying to hold back his own ❤ 70 just seems so young and dying from sepsis so preventable in the vast majority of cases. I'm "lucky" (and I use that for lack of a better word). Sepsis was recognised really quickly, treatment started swiftly and she had amazing care for the 8 days that she put up the fight of her life on ICU. Some battles just cant be won though. I don't have the overwhelming anger so many families in our situation have because it was recognised too late and for that I'm thankful Sorry - this is completely off topic. It's World Sepsis Day today though. My mum was one of 11 million annual global deaths. Please all ask 'Could this be sepsis?' if you or a loved becomes unwell. In health care we miss it too often or we diagnose it too late. I wouldn't wish this on anyone

Ditto. I'm one of a team of 4 Matrons- all we really use it for is shout outs for staff and stuff. We do a 'Tea at Three' thing once a month were we take cakes etc to a ward to say thanks. Feels a bit odd I can't post about it today I'm a bit indifferent. Only one of us needed to be in operationally to sort staffing etc as a fair bit of other stuff has been cancelled. My colleague got in first and offered. I lost my mum 4 months ago and whilst I defintely could never be classed as a Royalist, watching the very public outpouring of grief is just a bit shit right now. I mean, you know its bad when Nicola Sturgeon makes you cry. Finished work yesterday, got in the car and she was giving her official condolence speech... cue bawling 🤣 Might drive to see my dad on Monday and spend it with him instead

Ditto. I hold the social media account for our department at work (NHS) and got an email yesterday saying not to post anything on it for 7 days. Not entirely sure what the rationale is

I love the guy and will usually go to several of his gigs when he's on tour. It can sometimes get a bit 'samey' but I don't ever actually mind it as he genuinely always looks like he's having such a great time He's just become the first UK artist to play 50 states in 50 days - Love him or hate him, it can't be denied that he DOES work incredibly hard. Live is what he does best - he's been really frank (I didn't intend the.pun) about what lockdown did to his mental health and not being out on the road
