That was brilliant!

[Andre91]

One song in and Billie is fucking brilliant. 

[harryy]

Love Billie but am so excited for Foals in 5 mins!

[ICESTONE]

Foals for me, not sure about the Billie hype myself but i hope the set goes well for her.

[BobWillis2]

Why is half of it a backing track? 
 

Straight to Foals. 

[verrymerry]

Foals all the way. Will catch up with Billie tomorrow

I haven’t gone straight to Foals but I was wondering this. We were very hyped to see what she’d be like but we’re a bit underwhelmed so far 

[Skelts]

Caught a bit of Billie which just confirmed my feeling that she’s not for me. Good luck to her though. 
Foals here we go

[Messy]

Obviously I'd rather be there, but this is one of those that probably looks/sounds way better on telly compared to half a mile back in the crowd.

I'll be watching Foals too, but unfortunately with the sound quality of a transistor radio! And let's face it, Foals need to be LOUD!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Whoever advised her to open with a banger from the first album is extremely wise 

EDIT: and now idontwannabeyouanymore!! Really didn’t think we’d get that one.

Do American artists just see Glasto as another festival. They never seem to tailor their sets to the event. Think there's a lot of good reasons to focus on British acts - two American headliners in one year is naff.

 

Half of her music is a backing track and her singing isnt exactly setting the world on fire.

 

This kind of pop never really translates to festivals tbh.

Billie started great I think. Hope she smashes it. Not a huge fan of the music though so switching to Little Simz now.

[willd255]

Snooze fest on Pyramid... has mass exodus half way through written all over it

[Zoo Music Girl]

Woah Little Simz is fucking cool.

[BobWillis2]

She’s clearly very popular and good at what she does, but you can’t come to Glastonbury and mime your way through half a headline set on the pyramid stage. 
Think this one was maybe a year or two too soon. 
 

Foals already better. 

[harryy]

Not that I’ve been and would know reference points but any guesses as to the size of the Foals crowd size?

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. 

Your theory about 2 albums not being enough for a headline slot doesn't seem to be stopping that girl headlining the Pyramid. 

For the record, I have no idea who Billie Eilish is.

Anyway, I'm off to watch Primal Scream.

Hope you all have a great weekend. Think of it as 'Virtual Glastonbury' or 'GFH' in this post-Covid era.

I'm just happy it's back.

Looks pretty big although it's a bit difficult to tell in the dark.

Absolutely! Other half told me to turn it down, he can fuck right off 🤣
