His crowd is shaping up to be fucking gargantuan.

Imagine there will be a lot of people there to see what he's all about

Hopefully they all stick around for whole set

[Chipbarm]

Really enjoyed the intro with Jay Z. Unfortunately I had to turn it off when the music kicked in.

[Alex Cockell]

"... gonna put you in a hearse..."
"ARMED POLICE! ON THE GROUND! NOW!"

[robillustrates]

Stage Production and those Flamethrowers look great.

Looking like he will smash it unlike Kanye.

[Matt42]

My dad is not a fan  

hes not a fan of tame either I think he needs to retire from any sort of relevancy.

[beau1]

Stage production is good, everything else is a bit meh.

[rob.a]

Watching at home. If I was at the festival it's doubtful I'd be there, but it's coming across great on the TV! 

[bluedaisy]

Yes, looks fantastic.? 

[pryce]

Enjoying it... Looks fantastic, did try a bit of Interpol but they sound very flat 

[TheNewUnion]

I know it's not for me (45 year old Northern white bloke) but I'm getting nothing at all from this. Probably better if you're there, but if I was I probably wouldn't be. 

Ballet is cool though. 

[mandolin]

I know it’s not for me (59 year old northern white woman) but I’m loving it!

Good on ya ?

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Just flicked through the three stages of Pyramid, Other and West Holts. On par, I'd say Jon Hopkins would have been the safest bet. Stormzy is all heart and energy but his songs aren't really inspiring the crowd much, everyone's just sort of standing around with their phones out

[robillustrates]

Chris Martin can't help himself, he loves it up there.

[pryce]

Chris Martin isn't going to start up a bit of grime is he? Because this is painful 

[DDave]

That Chris Martin bit was a bit shit but think he's done well overall. Certainly shown Kanye how it's done, anyway. 

[prestonmike]

not my type of music, and if id have got a ticket i wouldn't have gone to watch him, but he is putting on a good show

Big question, based on what you've seen.... are you going to watch him at Pukkel?

I'd just like to say, having seen Stormzy live on BBC2 right now, living in Brixton, having liked some grime at the time when it still was called 8bar (though I obviously stopped listening to it a long time ago, it was fun, retarded, novelty, pirate radio stuff, don't think there's one grime album that isn't pathetic), that everybody who listens to Stormzy must be mentally retarded and have 2 left ears. Is there anything more daft then a bunch of middle class Brits in front of a stage listening to some sweaty, "urban" oaf chat about his difficulties in handling life in one of the richest countries on the planet? Seriously, so, so shit. I don't even blame Stormzy for making money with this garbage but the weirdos who actually seem to enjoy it.You probably could sell them shit smoothies as well if you hype it correctly

Did in 2017, I'm on trend, me! 

Got Big Thief pencilled in this year when he's on. 

[Matt42]

The eavis always get it right

ive switched from tame to watch stormz. This is history.

i am so sorry for doubting him in the past this was meant to be.

Almost like there's a Stormzy song that's perfect to reply to this...
