Only one song in but Phoebe's set could be phenomenal.

I love Arlo Parks ❤️

I loved the massive Southampton flag at the front. Up the Saints.

Sean Kuti looks fun. I missed him at Cross the Tracks festival recently as the stage times got a bit messed up so nice to see, even if just on TV. 

Watching now and this is just so good. Absolutely loving it.

[Nickyboy]

I really like ST Etienne, but my god the singer is flat as a fart

[Nickyboy]

Flipped to Phoebe Bridgers - much better

[Rose-Colored Boy]

So glad Phoebe got a gem of a crowd. Hopefully means she’ll come back in a year when we have tickets 😄

[benali]

Stunning end to the Phoebe Bridgers set

[Skelts]

Sam Fender having the time of his life. Massive crowd, loving it. Looks very at home on the pyramid 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Bonobo on West Holts looking bloody lovely

absolutely wild that he wasn’t originally meant to be in this slot

Ballsy to play Seventeen halfway through the set though!

There is something to be said for a tent full of die hards at John Peel rather than uninterested gawkers on the Pyramid or Other stage.

What was his original slot?

Can’t remember but I’m pretty sure Doja Cat was meant to be on now and he got bumped up when she cancelled. Really hard to believe as I say.

Sam Fender definitely showing why he has such a good live reputation off the back of his most recent tours. I can kind of understand why he might not have originally had this slot - an hour is a long time to fill with just 2 albums behind you're belt both of which do contain some fluff - playing Howdon Aldi Death Queue' a B-Side (although a well regarded one) and putting Spit of You and Seventeen Going Under mid-set (instead of b2bing it as a closer with Hypersonic Missiles).

 

Way too early in the weekend to be using future headliner, but he's definitely a future headliner based on that. Another album behind that's even remotely as successful as his last 2 and he deserves a Friday night.

Still think George has that slot next year but tonight has proved beyond all reasonable doubt that Sam could easily do it in 2024 if he maintains his current trajectory. Pulling a crowd like that despite some brutal clashes is really promising.

On a secondary note - I'm really loving the stage streams - I don't know if the usually do these - I was on site last time and prior to that just put the telly on but being able to watch the set streamed almost live in full rather than the cut down highlights packages.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Loving the sound of Khruangbin. Who's the guy who's just joined them?

Cheers! Love this song, didn't realise it was him on it!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Looks like it was a tiny crowd for Annie 😞 Guess it was inevitable she’d end up as the loser of the horrendous 8pm clashes. 

[Punksnotdead]

Fucking shite buffering on my TV has completely ruined my enjoyment of Phoebe Bridgers and Jesus & Mary Chain. Now having to watch on my work laptop with rubbish sound quality. Really fucking fed up. What's the betting it will work perfectly tomorrow when there's fuck all worth watching?

[benali]

Khruangbin ♥️

[verrymerry]

My laptop is having trouble buffering too! 

[benali]

Can't wait to see them at EOTR.

[MrBarry465]

Keen to see how she handles this.
