A clash that no one in their right mind loved to see.

We opted for Miley, which was probably the right call.

But no fan of having missed this.

I saw Miley as well with the thought Billie would top a stage at some point.

I’ve never seen someone command that much crowd control at such a young age.

When she does headline the pyramid she’s going to demolish it.

Her Reading performance actually beats this in terms of vocals and crowd control and that was only 8 weeks later.

Watching Michael Kiwanuka, another set I had forgotten how much I enjoyed.

Noticing that a lot of promised stuff is currently not on the iPlayer, Beyoncé for example. I assume they’ll be added after they are shown on the BBC.

Yep, they are releasing them after they've been shown.

Have seen metallica a few times and they've never blown me away but they did look good at glastonbury

Forgot how much I enjoyed the XX set BBC just showed

[Freddyflintstonree]

Not that gripped by this Billie Eilish set to be honest. What do you lot reckon?

first off, T-shirts on sale let people know they were taking the criticism with a wry smile.

I was going to wear my Glastallica T-shirt today. Couldn't find it. A bit too hot for black anyway. So wish I'd bought a white one as well (but at the time I was probably thinking "Metallica = Black. Natch"). Settled for 2010s glow in the dark jobby in red.

...they have studied the fest and know what it takes to win people over.

Lars is a regular.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Really enjoying it. Lamenting that come 4pm the 'livestream' options go to shit.

Not a Foals fan then?

Watching The XX post glasto  2017 on iplayer turned me to a big fan. Such a great set. Regret not sticking around to see them every time I watch it. Hopefully be back headlining in next couple of years.

[chazwwe]

Ocean Eyes is such a great song.

Definitely headlines in the next 2-3 years. Has the crowd doing whatever she wants

When standing next to them all last year at Bristol Airport on the Monday I resisted the urge to give the Yannis Foal a wedgie. And if that makes me a fan, then yes I'm a fan.

Yep, gave it that extra edge. Was very sweet when he got on the mic at the end and gushed about it being his favourite place on earth.

Was 2014 not his first year, that made him fall in love with it then?

He's a regular *now* and gone full HAM on the place, but I think I'm right in saying that 2014 was his first visit.

Did you see Slowthai? I started off thinking, "Erm. No.", but he absolutely bossed West Holts.

[CaledonianGonzo]

About Work The Dancefloor slaps

[Reckoner]

Keen for this. Only discovered Georgia recently.

Edit: went off way too early. Like a proper festival

Georgia's full Park set is on iplayer

Would be amazing if Bobby Smith starts rocking up around Block9 in a starry black hoodie from now on too. Maybe bimbling with Lars about the place 

Like Mick Jagger

Not sure about that. I'think I read somewhere he was there at least the year before, invited to tour the place or something, and just "got it" from the off. Definitely read that he was certainly,as a lifelong music fan, well aware of the festival prior to that.

(What is HAM?)

I think you're right, he got invited to tour it and ended up staying till 5-6am walking around with Emily and her husband. Either it was the year before or it was the Thursday night before they played I can't quite remember though. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think it was the night before.

Obviously can't fault how much the place means to him now.

Him and Bradley Cooper

It might be worth a thread on it own, but who has everyone seen before they got massive? Saw Billie at Laneway Singapore in Jan 2018 just before she blew up.

I’m the same. Obviously she’s got some popular songs and it’s impressive considering her age but I’m not sure about her headlining.

I can see it, but only because of how quickly she became popular. Assuming she doesn't burn out, and there's no reason to suggest she will, she's doing everything right for a headliner slot. (dunno if I'd be there though...)
