I had the same thought, rather than randomly having the editions from 2000, 2011 and 2019, why not have a big double bill shown on TV or at least throw them on the pop up channel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if it’ll be on the iPlayer afterwards? It was the first me and Mrs J attended together so would be nice to watch. They've missed a trick by not whacking all of the Best Ofs on the iPlayer. Well they didnt post best of 2010 last night, only 2000. And they did best of 2019 on friday. Likely the 2011 will go up on iplayer since there doesnt seem to be another “experience” program tonight and itll be the only thing on against Bowie and or Sheeran. And yeah, surprising they didnt show best ofs for the last decade at least. Maybe monday has some more interesting counter programming for the evening and itll go up. If the goal is to show the diversity of the festival, show it, dont throw small nuggets ya know. Edited June 28, 2020 by Suprefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent seen a Pyramid Headliner for 6 years, so it isnt an overriding factor. I should have last night & tonight though. Absolutely. And I kinda wish people would just do that sometimes rather than saying so and so doesn't deserve to headline, so and so isn't big enough etc etc. You can't like everything and that's absolutely fine!

Agree with that completely. “I don’t like them” is not a valid reason for dismissing a headliner. I have no love for Ezra, but it’s downright ridiculous to claim he isn’t well along the path to headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Just woke up to Lionel Ritchie singing dancing on the ceiling on BBc2 teatime favourites fell asleep for an hour and a half on sofa this afternoon after staying up til 2.30am last night at a Glastonbury sleepover! Had a quick catch up and am surprised how many of these I have seen over the years ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to concentrate on bigging up the things I love rather than slating what I don't like. I think there's already enough negativity in the world and I accept that not everyone is going to be for me and that's ok because there's more than enough stuff in the world that is for me. As for saying someone doesn't deserve to headline I'm pretty sure the festival have an idea of whether they'll draw a big enough crowd. There have been artists headlining some stages that I have never even heard of and you know what none of them have ever played to an empty field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) I think you should make it a point to see one headliner over the weekend and not stress out over the other 2, unless you have to see that artist so badly that you would cut your arm off in any other situation to see em anyway. This year I wouldve seen Macca and not thought twice about Kendrick and Taylor. Its fine having a George Ezra on there so you at least know that a ton of people will be in one place and you can avoid it to go do something else. Maybe its just people feeling that they dont like knowing they went to that year of glasto which had ( in their eyes ) a cringeworthy headliner.

Jesus that legend slot flopped a bit didn’t it? That slot needs to bring a party vibe these days. The weather didn’t help but ELO just aren’t the sort of act for that slot. Strikes me as they wanted to book ELO but didn’t have anywhere else to put them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Glastonbury have had plenty of fairly drab headliners in the not too distant past, the problem is people’s expectations are skewed by the legendary bookings like Jay-Z and the Rolling Stones. Could definitely see Ezra headlining at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghandi Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Was looking forward to Diana Ross this year, pity think she would have been great, Ain't no Mountain would have been classic, watching Legends now, great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copperface Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 I saw ELO at the O2 a couple of years ago. Exactly the same. Great songs, but no interaction whatsoever. Mind you, the O2 didn't help as a venue. Shame, because I had always wanted to see them. Lynne is more a producer/writer than a performer.

Ayrshire Chris Posted June 28, 2020 Report Share Posted June 28, 2020 Isn’t it just great watching the bbc coverage, no matter who is playing, and seeing all the smiling faces in the audiences, the groups of friends having the time of their lives, kids just being what kids should be, carefree . Watching all the crowds has been a real treat, probably because I know exactly how they are feeling at that moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
