Can anyone tell me the name of the girl who did an acoustic set last night in the morning field. Cheers

Liking Janelle Monaes band. Very animated. I do like it when bands make a proper effort

If I had a time machine I’d be off to NME Stage to see that, plus Blur... Radiohead... Pulp... Spiritualised...on that same stage, on the same day!

That run does look incredibly strong, but these future headliners all got a lot better. Radiohead in particular hadn't written most of their best songs.

Actually, nor had Blur, or Pulp!

Ha this looks great! Proper party

[Hugh Jass]

Given that Macca was booked for this year it’s a real shame there’s been no footage from his last go.

Wouldn't want to be the act following that Janelle Monae set, would you!? Electrifying!

And if you spent all Sunday at the Other Stage in 1994 sampling early Britpop you'd also miss Johnny Cash.

Janelle levelling West Holts. An incredible gig.

Makes such a difference when the entire band is clearly having an absolute blast on stage

I saw Janelle open for Prince back in 2011. Seems to be the only artist that could go on after her right?

Seems an odd choice. Wonder if they've kept it back on purpose because they have him for next year already? Not sure what the reasoning would be exactly, but it does seem like a glaring omission. Or maybe they don't have and don't want to fuel speculation?

He has to be one of the "special guests", surely?

Here’s hoping.

That 2004 set was from my first ever Glastonbury, would love to see it again.

I thought I saw somewhere it was Metallica, Stones and Bruce? Might be well off though! Be cool if he's the special guest tomorrow with a confirmation for 2021 😉

She was really good it was nice to see farm looking so good . I'd love them to go round and point out where everything is . I know they showed bits but it would be good to see whole site

If you can remember where you saw that, I'd be interested for secret Glasto. If we have confirmed names, I'll tweet them out.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Live brass really giving this Kano set some oomph

I suspect I've got mixed up somewhere and read a prediction as confirmation - you're following this much more than me so I'm sure you'd know before me!

Wouldn’t they have mentioned the Stones last night when Jo and Mark were introducing the footage?

”Here is some never seen before footage now... and you’ll be able to watch the whole thing tomorrow!”

Just watched the 2019 highlights show from last night and it was like I was at a different festival - which is the joy of Glastonbury, 150,000? people having 150,000 different festival experiences. 

The only featured sets that I saw were Idles and The Cure (and I only saw the 2nd half of The Cure from right at the back). The only things I felt I'd missed out on were Comet is Coming because I went to Lauryn Hill - still pissed about that - and Chems because I was at Hot Chip - but you can't be in two places at once.

Very true of course, and Oasis hasn’t released Definitely Maybe.

Nonetheless, incredible to have them all on one day!

My first was '95. I feel very similar. Isn't hindsight wonderful etc....

Makes you wonder what future musical behemoths we've possibly wandered past and ignored during the last couple of festivals.

Great point - I remember my mate in 2000 texting “I’ve just seen this band called Cold Play (sic) - really good”...
