If LCD are gonna sub anyone, it should be Prodigy on Other Stage.

Bloke definitely just got wrist banded on his left hand as he walked in and posted a video claiming otherwise for clout

I used to be indecisive, but now, I'm not so sure

Somebody forgot to do the fashion deep dive

Having missed out on seeing Kendrick for PSB I'd be tempted to fork out for a similar setlist, no chance for a new album heavy tour though.

Bayou place was amazing but will always dig into the paella as a festival staple. Slips down really easy when you don't fancy eating but have to, and good mix of stodgy carbs, veg and protein. Perfect festival fuel.

Foals have just never broken through enough popularity wise, and this is why they only headline the mid-sized festivals across the UK and are perfectly happy headlining Other. Only way to get there is to have a massive breakthrough album that gains them a much wider audience. Not sure anyone is necessarily doubting they couldn't possibly put on a Pyramid headliner worthy show, but then so could plenty of other acts who aren't big enough either.

Foals and Tame Impala are both in the same boat - both have subbed the Pyramid and then gone on to headline Other. That's their Glastonbury ceiling, unless somehow they get a massive surge in popularity, which quite frankly is never going to happen. They can keep on releasing good albums but without a sudden big uptake in their mainstream/crossover appeal then headlining the Pyramid is always going to be out reach.

Because they're huge, iconic, stadium selling heritage acts. Foals at their pomp have never been half the size those acts have been.

Easily swap her out for Doja Cat if they're gonna roll over that booking.

Lil Nas X seems like a good fit for 3rd down Pyramid, possibly post-legend same as Miley. Lizzo to sub-Pyramid would be a happy marriage, especially pre-Elton. Wonder if Aerosmith take another TBA slot if they're back around, if they fill the position of a rock sub, assuming they don't take the legend slot. Arctic Monkeys // Lana Del Rey Taylor Swift // TBA (Aerosmith) or Biffy Clyro Elton John // Lizzo

That's the thing. There's no actual jokes or scything insight. Just someone monetising a video by spouting loads of buzzwords and hot topics at an audience of Daily Mail comments contributors, aimed at getting them thinking its some sort of 'gotcha' moment.

Not really close to the bone, more absolutely fucking dire. Nice to see the comments section supports the fact his audience are Covid and global warming denying nutjobs. I'm sure the 'woke establishment' are feeling the burn as we speak.

On the basis that Bicep smashed it out of the park, and the universal acclaim for the Pet Shop Boys and Kendrick sets, has there ever been a stronger showing on the top 3 stages at the festival? In terms of all the headliners of the Pyramid, Other and West Holts turning in worldy, for-the-ages sets on the same night.

Getting itself confused with the John Peel Stage

Maybe they were also confused why they were 6th down and not headlining and struggled to get their set ready in time as a result

Nah was perfectly good, Jamie T doing Jamie T songs, crowd well up for it. Everyone I was with loved it, even the casual fans that were with us. Granted he's not 00s Pete Doherty but was the kinda indie singalong that isn't affected by a wasted frontman.

Vintage year for me also. Must be chance that none of the problems here affected me bar not being able to dash over to IDLES after TLC. One for the ages, acts and crowds that never disappointed and time well deserved and spent with friends on the farm.

Haven't watched it back yet, he was indeed wasted but brilliant. Crowd ate it up and being at Glastonbury and pulling such a big crowd v McCartney clearly meant a lot. Surprised at people's comments re Avalanches - thought they were ace and crowd really into it. I was sceptical myself with it being limited to the two of them mixing live but I thought it was popping. Though people had mixed views of 2017 too - both times I was down front and sound and atmosphere was great.

Here's one for 2023 and beyond- you can bring whatever booze you like, you don't have to bring the bogwater that is Carling. Imagine going to a festival where the only lager served is Carlsberg, and then decide to bring something that is even worse. Unfathomable.

Not an uber fan by any stretch, got into her after exploring the lineup. Needed a rest so watched from the sound desk - sterling performance and yup, I blubbed a wee bit when she did Rainbow.

On the contrary, not giving a fuck and talking over the top of a gig other people do give a fuck about is incredibly selfish. Nobody is saying you should be completely silent, but people just talking incessantly over the top of a gig and not giving a shit about the actual music is w*nky behaviour. Groups who literally could just be back at camp and having the convo as opposed to shouting over the top of a live set they don't care about.

Why would walking boots destroy your feet? If anything they'd offer more protection against the rock hard ground and the stupid rubble/wood put down this year.

When I caught the second half of Foals, I moved out of the front part as crowd was a bit dull. Ended up behind the visibility platform speaker and the sound was ace. As a group we all went there last night for PSB and the sound was absolutely insane. Audio completely mint and melt your face off loud. Didn't experience any sound issues this year across the board but the huge improvement on Other Stage was remarkable.

Had a sober Sunday bar a couple post-PSB chillout beers. Think I might do more of them. Managed to keep myself low key buzzed when drinking and never tipped into silly territory- enough to enjoy a drink and take the edge off the foot pain more than anything. More surprised at how I could still dance like a twat at PSB despite it being Sunday night and sober, and still had the inclination to go SEC for Elvana to end the festival. But then again I didn't experience any of the issues others have and thought it was a vintage year. Think next time I might have a 50/50 split on the boozing/soberness though.
