[MJP]

Do we think they’ll actually use the rabbit hole style tent for tonight’s broadcast?

Ray Davies still my favourite of these slots. Days always reduces me to a blubbering mess.

Never seen that before it was beautiful

My favourite by far of all the legends slots I have seen. The Kinks Bassist Pete Quaife had died that week as well so the voice cracking at the start of the song was genuine emotion. Sadly because of the football he probably had one of the smallest crowds as well.

The coverage over the weekend has been brilliant sets I've seen on bbc 2 and I player well done

This legends show is bringing back so many happy memories 🙂

I'd hoped the last couple of years 2017 and 19 he would appear always tipped but never happened

Nile and chic now on bbc 4, one of the most enjoyable sets I have seen in my 10 festivals . Sun didn’t hurt it either

Yes I hoped he might be there this year especially as him and Dave are on speaking terms again (or at least were a little while ago)

Chic were for my mind the legend slot that year no offence to Barry but they absolutely smashed it!!

[nikkic]

I absolutely love Lauren Laverne.

Sad for him, good for me.

I get the feeling that in the time between the 2013? West holts set and this pyramid one they might have spent a bit of money upgrading some of the band members. Def seems a more polished show these days

perhaps just the singers actually 

more maybe they have just tightened up from playing so much

Is Amy Winehouse the only act to play under their own steam on the Pyramid two years running?

(i.e. discounting things like guest slots appearances and different entities eg Damon Albarn)

I think the band are largely the same?  Same singers at any rate.

Have they just dropped a hint about Lady Gaga for next year?

[JoeyT]

Lady Gaga just got a subtle nod by Lauren... 2021 headliner?

Should've gone for Muse's 2004 show though tbf 

Deffo.

Annoyed that they’ve picked what is comfortably the weakest of their three headline sets.

That’s what I was thinking - hope that doesn’t mean no TS though

Elvis Costello headlined two years on the bounce

I'm watching it but missed this.  What did she say?

I saw that...

“Her only official appearance at the festival so far - who knows what the future holds”

Here he is 

[The Red Telephone]

Disappointing lack of Colby O’Donis in Gaga’s set

[tumbles]

Love how he’s driven down in his landie and just parked it behind
