    Saw two girls before the Cure. Both wearing long floor length dress/cape things. One got what looked like a Mac and cheese cup/bowl and the other held her cape around her. The first girl proceeded to piss in the bowl, stop, empty it out on the ground, and re fill it. Some people were giving them dirty looks and making comments, but they just laughed and waved ? literally broad daylight in the middle of a crowd as well. Some people have no shame..

    Think I saw this. If it was the same group that I saw (gold cape girl in the middle of the field a fair way back) I was particularly shocked as the crowd was so sparse, getting to the loo and back could be done super fast.

    1. Don't know. But I saw them at Manchester arena a couple of years ago and they sounded awful. Dense guitar music like that turns to mud with the slightest bit of reflection. So I know why they sounded better at Glastonbury (outdoor gig - no reflections), but no idea why they sounded better than other bands. Maybe they're just a really finely tuned band? I know all but one of the songs is over 25 years old - maybe practice?

    2. I don't know that either, but they didn't play it at Manchester either. As far as I know they never play it. I've no idea why, I'd be interested if anyone does.

    So, that's a pretty useless 0/2 post there. I'm glad I could help ;)

     

    They were fucking great though, weren't they? ?

    Agreed! Absolutely brilliant ?

  3. Thought it would be a bit average, but was blown away. Loved the covers (wow that voice on those songs..). Thought the way she did the songs more guitar based than normal with her band also worked excellently. Smashed it.

  4. Not a flag holder myself, but don’t understand people getting high and mighty about it. How on earth could that be controlled even if it was banned? If it was done on entrance then that brings up a whole new load of issues.. get over it and watch the gig around them, this is Glastonbury.

    Favourite flag for me was one involving peter crouch doing the robot alongside Theresa May, or the Sir Richard Attenborough rave one.

  5. Okay, so I didn’t think I’d even end up seeing them and I only did after some convincing (‘see the festival out together as a group’ etc).

    God damn. That was good. Far back but our group enjoyed the dancing space. Looked like everyone around us did too. Few questions for you more experienced folk:

    1) Why did that sound so perfect but other acts don’t always? Multiple comments among my group on how great it did sound.

    2) Why do they not play lovecats? Not an avid fan in the past so not sure what the reasons are. Seems odd, although part of me does thing it is a different vibe from most of what they played (I don’t know them as well as most of you lot keep in mind)

    Anyway.. apologies if this is drunk rubbish. Still awake in tent (mutual support of our driver home who is naturally not going out). But genuinely interested and massively enjoyed that set. Safe journey home all.

    I spoke to them at their album signing at Rough Trade last night, said they'd been offered 'a couple of slots, John Peel and Williams Green (Thursday?)' but neither we right for them this time around so aren't playing at all.

    Ah shame! Nice detective work
