The music has been great today, mostly listen to Radio 6. Seeing The Cure again tonight, a bit more sober, has topped off a fantastic day. 

This reads like you got hammered earlier in the day then recently started to sober up ha. I’m guessing you mean more sober than at Glasto on the Sunday, but if you got drunk at lunchtime I salute you lol

Say what you will but I always thought this Metallica set was a lot of fun.

they are definitely the most ballsy choice glasto has ever had to headline. I’m surprised there was so many people in the crowd which knew the songs.

They really did. Robert Smith has absolutely no business sounding that good at 60. A genuinely astonishing performance. 

I’m just in shock his voice sounds studio quality all the time. I don’t know any other performer who is like that other than Beyoncé.

Haha a bit more sober than when seeing them at the farm! Only had a couple today!

I adore the structure of this, cycling between night and day. Immerses you into the festival feeling a bit more :)

It was supposed to be a newer cut though, with more modern music clips: maybe that will get addressed in the Mark Kermode Q&A after.

Metallica were actually good from the sounds of things, why's everyone complaining?

I don't know many people complaining. I either see people say 1 of 3 things when talking about it.

1. Wasn't there, not my thing.
2. They were good
3. Surprisingly enjoyed them

You also get an odd youtube/twitter comment on 'finally a good band at that festival, I was wondering when that would happen'

    • Plenty of good stuff this month. Very difficult choice, but I'm going with some of those I've listened to most (the sunny weather may also have been influential)...   1. The Coral - 388 2. Kurt Vile - Philadelphia's Been Good to Me 3. The Lemon Twigs - Look For Your Mind!   Others I've been enjoying... Laurie Anderson's live album, Broken Social Scene, Pigeon, The Black Keys, etc
    • Yesterday was was Primavera is all about and a reminder of why I come back every year. I saw 9 acts, very diverse in terms of genre and vibe, and most of them were great.  Highlights:   The Cure - have wanted to see them for years. Finally caught them and it was immaculate. Robert Smith's vocals at his age are incredible. The band sounded exactly like the albums which is impressive. 2.5 hours with basically no filler somehow.  Viagra Boys - what a front man! So much energy. Non stop moshing. Sound was great, vibe was top notch. Again 10/10 for me.  Rilo Kiley - basically what pipan said. Not a huge crowd but nice vibe, good sound. Different from the other acts I saw.   I also enjoyed the late night electronic stuff with Aurora Halal and KI/KI being fun. Caught some of Skrillex before Aurora Halal and it was cool in it's own way but not really my thing so we left.
