Stormzy

[Razza_bezza]

So just took my son to watch Stormzy... got to say thought he was brilliant going in open minded he had the crowd bouncing! I'll be praying he doesn't clash with someone I'm desperate to see because I'll defo be going along! Embrace the grime scene people 

[Slugworth]

Will go down, well, a storm.

[merago]

Not a fan of grime, but watched the Coachella set and thought he was excellent I have to say.

[dentalplan]

Misread that as 'Embrace of the grime scene'.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I reckon he will get a bigger crowd than Skepta last year, and I predict it will 'go off' as I understand the kids say these days - I will be there (clashes permitting) 

[nikkic]

I'll be there for sure. Top artist. Think you're right about his potential to be bigger than Skepta.

I think it's almost certain that a bar will be selling a "Dark and Stormzy"

I can't wait for his set! He'll pull a massive crowd.

I know Neil mentioned about the Hip Hop day but I'd be amazed if he isn't on the pyramid. 4th/5th down I'd reckon

[home to you]

Missed him last year due to clashes, really hoping that's not the case this year!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yesterday's news.  All the cool kids saw him last year.

I was always stretching in saying hip hop 'day'. It was meant to signify a number of acts playing as a bit of a theme.

But thinking about it now, it's probably the case that the info has come thru people who aren't particularly familiar with the genre (including me), and what it really was was references to BBK.

And so it's probably the case that me putting Stormzy for Other on the same day is bad assumption by me.

whoops, that must have been cock-up. Corrected, thanks.

This is exactly what I love Glastonbury for (and to be fair, festivals in general to a large extent). As a 53 year old white woman I would feel a complete pillock at a Stmzy gig in the outside world, but here's my chance to really enjoy the live experience of an up and coming act and get right into it without feeling ridiculous. Can't wait!

I can't even work out what that would be. But it doesn't sound good. 

Come Back To What You (Boy Better) Know?

Really hope the crowd is better at Glastonbury than it was at Lovebox last year for Stormzy. People getting into fights due to people accidentally standing on people's shoes because it was so busy. One of the few times I felt unsafe at a concert tbh (the other being Arctic Monkeys at Reading).

Stormzy's album went gold in a matter of weeks, something it took Konnichiwa months to achieve, he's going to get a massive crowd wherever he plays.

[russycarps]

I'm really looking forward to this. I want to see what all the fuss is about. Hopefully it's late in the day so I can get nicely oiled up first.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Watched a couple of vids on YouTube and he seems a lovely young bloke.  Sure I'll be ok to hang with the grime kids for a bit!

Perhaps they were way too big for their boots? 

[Nduja]

Couldn't get in the tent* last year so all over this.

there's still Dizzee Rascal and Wiley who would be fairly big and would probably be well up the Other Stage if they play there.

Seems like a top bloke, sorry if this has been posted elsewhere. Fair play to him for speaking up against something a lot of people (especially men) find difficult.

So emotionally intelligent, honest and eloquent.
