Mums best friend. I've known her kids since birth, pretend cousins kind of thing.

Was that The Park Radiohalf year? I was at The Park and left about an hour before they came on.  Someone had told me it was happening as well.

Bad decision.

Yep that's the one! I was only there because I watched the Big Pink and decided to stay as I was in a good spot. Soon worked it out hearing the Idioteque drum, and realising very few other bands who would be billed as special guests would have pianos and acoustic guitars so prominent

Just watched the Jamie XX Park set from 2015.


Really great set, although the 3 garage songs in the middle seemed a little out of place.

Incredible isn’t it. I agree, odd choices, but the goosebumps when he drops Loud Places at the end, camera panning back to see the ribbon tower and the big Glasto sign lit up... one of my biggest regrets was missing that set!

Arcade Fire for me tonight, that was such a great set

Looking forward to watching Blur over the weekend - might leave it until Sunday night...

Think it’ll be The Cure tmrw, that was just the best way to end last year

The large 4 hour gap on Friday has been filled with a glasto live as well. 

There are other large gaps on

Saturday 6:30-9:30 Florence and the machine. Her set isn't 3 hours long...

Sunday 5:30-9:30. Hopefully it's not four hours of George Ezra.

 

It looks like at those times, compilation type shows are being shown on BBC2 so I assume it cuts to those. What they will consist of and whether it merits the current set up in front of the pyramid remains to be seen.

Michael, today:

Cineramageddon are 'hosting' a watchalong of Glastonbury After Hours (iplayer) at 00:45!

So what, like in three minutes.

I'm quite confused now (I'm a litre of cider in mind).

I have to say I feel like I've got my BBC licence fees worth today.

I think they're suggesting to watch along now, yes!

Nice one. Glad I bought a bottle of wine as well. Gonna wish I'd bought two.

Edit : Oh hang on. I've seen/got this already. Thought it was something live.

I've not seen After Hours as much... I didn't clock Neneh Cherry playing in Shangri La last time I saw this!

Filmed mostly in 2011, so plenty of mud! And ye olde version of Shangri la too.

@Mrzigster, my first drinks for a few months have gone down well, not too much reduced tolerance it seems... cheers!

Cheers as well (chinks drink receptacles).

Are you sure about that intolerance though?

I have since cracked open a 5.9% effort, Pepper Spray. I feel nice.

They're on YouTube I believe as individual performances as opposed to the whole set

I quite enjoyed it at the time but yeah, it definitely wasn't a classic set. Hopefully she's back next year to make up for it. Some of the songs the BBC missed out are on YouTube anyway if you want to watch them

 

Ta, guys. Will watch those!

Well spotted, have update the Clashfinder.

Florence's set is 90 mins, so that leaves another 90 mins for another "The Glastonbury Experience Live" on Saturday (it's 90 mins today?
George's set was only 60 mins, so that leaves 3 hours on Sunday - have noted down as "The Glastonbury Experience Live" at the moment.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
