Alex

[jyoung]

Haven't seen anything posted about this g yet, so... Shout out to Alex! Big up yourself.

 

[mcshed]

Absolutely perfect result for a bit that could have fallen flat on its face. He was competent enough to be impressive but also shambolic enough to be funny the exact right balance.

[gordong]

I walked past this, the crowd was going absolutely mental for him, it was a really cool moment.

The fact the actual Thiago Silva reposted it, bigging up Alex, while relaxing for Brazil’s Copa America semi final is just fucking brilliant.

So so good.

[hurdy]

Highlight of my weekend. The blow up on social media is great too

[Crazyfool01]

Thank you I’ve not ever had a shout out in my name on here before  

[amfy]

Everyone loved him so much! It felt like everyone around me had just seen their best mate get up there! Magnificent!

[Stretlow]

Gone Viral

I thought Dave was going really well, and this could have turned the set into a bit of a laughing stock. I thought it was going to as the wee guy stood bricking it, but fuck me, that was a proper moment. Crowd went absolutely wild when he shot into it

 

Tremendous

Fair play to the guy. Could have been awful but he did a good job.

Imagine his first day back to work?

'So Alex, how was Glastonbury?'

'Yeah was alright. Got on stage with my idol and rapped in front of thousands of people'

Spot on ?

Just so glad that this is the attention that the festival is getting.  That is one magical moment, fair play.

There is some screenshot of his boss saying Alex called in sick over the weekend and that Monday would be interesting - not sure whether he'll fire him but don't think that would be a good idea lol

I just happened to turn over to see Dave and caught this kid rapping, figured he'd been picked from the crowd - he was fantastic, bet he's totally made up  

[gherkin8r]

We had been up in the park and were just walking down through the other stage as this happened. Place went off when he started rapping.

Got a feeling Alex won't be too assed if he gets a telling off 

[hodgey123]

One of my highlights of the weekend. Was absolutely superb, as was Dave! When he came on I thought it would be a disaster but how wrong was I! 

[HalfAnIdiot]

Even better when you know that he is only 16 (goes to my daughters school)!!

probably not and don't think this person was really his boss lol

[deebeedoobee]

A very special moment for the kid. What memories he will take away with him. And Dave was fantastic too.

[D-Low]

What an opportunity. Class that. How many people can say that's happened to them, does an ace job too! I would have bricked it.

[JSmurphy]

You love to see it.

60,000 new Twitter followers overnight! 

[kalifire]

Probably in a minority of one, but I felt Dave lacked on stage charisma so I left his set before this happened, unfortunately. Psychodrama is a brilliant album but there was energy missing in Dave’s performance for me. 

[WS_Jack_III]

Was just sat at my tent minding my own business when it all happened. Thought "here we go, this'll be interesting" but ended up being not in the way I imagined. Top moment from this year for sure.

[Chipbarm]

It’s a shame that a minority on Twitter are claiming that it was all staged. The same morons posting pictures of litter filled fields from 5 years ago.

Big up to Alex I must have watched the video about 15 times since yesterday.
