'Where are they?' Is a very good question Serious oversight from Glastonbury booking this year leading to a bleak and bland line up. AIR, Massive Attack - so many others touring that just aren't on the line up and would've been in years gone by.

It's an interesting debate to have - and one that's happening across all sectors, industries and wider culture. In the past 10 years, mainly due to social media, I believe Glastonbury has indeed gone from its roots into new realms of social media, influencer and digital celebrity-pop culture. It has changed its emphasis from one primarily for actual gig-going music fans, or dare I say 'alternative types,' to one of mass, mass appeal fuelled by other factors such as fashion, influencers, social media and flimsy, shallow pop culture. And has thus seen demand for tickets rocketing with 'ticket day' becoming an increasingly crowded, stressful and competitive space. I've got a ticket this year, am very grateful and will have a great time - however, I'm well aware of the above and how demand has hugely spiked due to interest well beyond its traditional borders due to the influences and factors I mention above.

Allocating of tickets isn't the issue - it's the unsustainable over popularity of the event. It's over saturated with tik tokers and Instagramers wanting an UnGlastonbury headline act and to be 'seen' there. It'd do well to get back to its roots a bit and stop the absolutely mental scramble for tickets fuelled by wacky pop acts and 'influencers.'

got through to payment page 5 times but then just crashes. Any advice?! Seems ludicrous you can get that far and not have a ticket confirmed

Don't take your presence there so seriously It's set up for the best weekend of your year; adapt how you approach it both mentally and physically and don't be hard on yourself by thinking: "It used to be different!" Adapt, smile and be grateful - nowt better for a weekender, no matter how you choose to do it

Koffee on West Holts - v good! Upbeat and matched what looks like golden sunshine down there

Spot on - good sentiments

Yep...wow, this is all pretty bonkers so no live feed at all?

Is that really the case that it's streaming with an hour's delaY? Can't be..?!

Have some respect I thought he was great...not least for the self awareness and good humour in knowing people were literally counting down the seconds until he played the classics. "There'll only be one of you left in a minute...don't worry, nearly there." - Takes some character on a stage like that to make those comments, brilliant

Amazing...golden sunshine and sunset - who would'be thought with some of the predictions, even as recent as yesterday so pleased people could enjoy themselves for Noel and through into McCartney For anyone down there - belting result! Enjoy

I like Haim but not quite sure that 'phone call' skit quite worked I was sinking further and further into my seat..

LOVE it

Fair play to Pyramid stage crowd - very patient with Greta considering she is really going on and is largely preaching to the converted.

Any way of watching Silver Hayes stage at all??
