Just walked away after about 40 minutes. Went in with an open mind as not a fan. Am I missing something because that was absolute dogshit to me...

I'm the same but from home, never really been a fan of what I've heard but given them another chance and it just sounds crap. Crowd doesn't look overly keen from what I can see either

If you're not a fan I think it is still worth hanging around. They tend to save all their more mainstream songs (and they have quite a few as their discography is endless) for the end. They start smashing them out one after the other in a sort of 10 song encore!

We were really looking forward to this and took our usual position in the second half of the field. Unfortunately the artistic decision to create some sort of kaleidoscope of images doesn't work and flattens the experience for anyone who can't see the stage.  The images on the screens where indecipherable.

We left early because the whole thing felt flat and didn't engage us.  And we love Radiohead.

I'm absolutely gutted not to be there. Got a bit tearful earlier, 11 in a row until now. sitting here drunk infront of my telly  

I hope you all have an amazing time. 

Know the feelings we missed out last year.  Rest of festival been amazing elbow at park and little mammoths in tipi field today great.  Bit annoyed that radio head not up to expectations and all down to screens and whatever deal they have made with BBC.

I also left Radiohead due to the screens or lack of. Can't be right that I'd get a better view watching it on BBC. Shows a complete lack of respect to the crowd who can't get close to the stage. Such a shame

Wish I was there to see them but unfortunately couldn't get to Glastonbury this year. 

Looked great on TV but I see that the screens wouldn't be great for the live crowd. 

Not sure what people expect from Radiohead   The set tonight was pretty varied. They're not exactly a band of big hits. Glad to hear a set with a lot of In Rainbows. Looking forward to seeing them in Glasgow in  2 weeks

Opinion from the living room, but i thought that was bloody fantastic. More bangers than i expected, probably as 'crowd pleasing' as any radiohead gig will ever get. I do understand about the screens though, seems a shame they couldn't seem to engage the whole field.

    • Audrey Hobert getting a lot of traction lately and new single on Friday. Wonder if she could be round next summer.
    • Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.
    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
