I remember watching King Gizzard play Glastonbury on tv, I reckon maybe 2017, and they were smashing out tracks from Nonagon Infinity and there was barely any movement in the crowd.

I saw them 3 times the year before and every one of those gigs had amazing mosh pits. I really couldn't understand why the Glastonbury crowd weren't doing the same.

I can't speak for others but I'd be way too knackered to mosh enthusiastically in the afternoon by Saturday, even when I was a young un and used to do these things!

Is Greta late or are they not showing her bit? Surely they would?

Yeah just late.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Not showing her on BBC Two or the UHD stream though. Bit of a faff to find.

Enjoying glass animals

Looks like a perfect sunny afternoon band. Really good.

I assumed they wasn’t showing Greta after she was 5-10 minutes late so took a little break from the streams. The usual moans on twitter “is this a music festival or a political festival?” and some even worse slurs directly aimed at her. Amazes me how year after year people don’t understand that Glastonbury is and always has been an openly left leaning festival

Glass Animals played a similar timed set in 2017. Surprised they haven't been bumped up on the bill, not surprised how good they sound in the sun on the Other.

Idiots. Glastonbury always been more than just music.

I thought Greta did really well. Got to be an intimidating gig and she didn't seem phased at all.

HAIM sounding superb. Big crowd too although with the obvious caveat that some will be waiting for McCartney.

Feels like the perfect slot for them to be honest. 

They do sound lovely in the sun, just surprised they hadn't 'kicked on'.

Makes me laugh when they have "debates" scheduled  😀  it's not a debate if everyone agrees...  someone needs to book me one day so I can hand Billy Bragg his arse 😄

Listening to Corbyn say, "Build bridges, not walls", whilst referencing the message/graffiti wall at a festival surrounded by a giant security fence, during his speech to Donald Trump, was probably one of the funniest moments of 2017 - including all the people cheering away with no hint of irony.

I thought they were cheese puffs. No idea!!

Haim arent my bag at all but they are great live. Loads of fun.

[Barkwin]

I like Haim but not quite sure that 'phone call' skit quite worked

 

I was sinking further and further into my seat..

It didnt work at all 😅

 

Maybe to their own crowd it would have.

[Phoenix Girl]

The blond(er) one makes some funny faces doesn't she.

Am enjoying it though, they bring a lot of energy (and sausages).

Basically the only thing I remember from their 2014 set! Her side of the crowd was in hysterics the whole way through 

[CRW5252]

Just been catching up, Metronomy were brilliant. Such a great live act. Watched some of beabdobee, thought it was okay. Little bit flat, crowd didn't appear to be massively engaged but it is quite chilled music so that could be why. Caught the end of Glass Animals which was good fun. 

[Punksnotdead]

Big Thief for me. Been looking forward to this. I'm flagging a bit so just poured myself an espresso martini.
