Never been abled to get on the Jack White boat sadly - just can't warm to him...

He's alright, but I've never been a big fan.

I just watched a bit of Kacey Musgraves after the plaudits above and I didn't get it. All sounded quite bland to me.

Not much people at all at Lorde.

Always a tough slot before the Headliner on Sunday.  I'm sure the bulk heading for food and drink before Kendrick or PSB. She sounds good though

Yeah really surprised by the size of Lorde’s crowd compared to the size of Wolf Alice’s etc. feel like her critical opinion and that of people online has never tallied with actual sales or tickets, but Pyramid at this time seems a perfect setting for her. 

Her latest album really didn't go down well tbh, imagine she was booked before it.

 

Huge crowd for Years and Years.

That's when the waterworks started over here! Loved it.

On to Fontaines now, sounding huge. Decent sized crowd too. 

They were absolutely fantastic. Have seen them since they began and the evolution of their sound and musicianship has been pretty startling. Same energy but sounding immense now. There was lots of talk beforehand about potential Glastonbury moments. Felt sure it would be during Macca (did get a bit of a lump in the throat for the first few chords of Let it Be)…but as it turns out, the couple across the way into the stripped down version of big shot was comfortably my moment of the festival…huge performance from them considering they were up against the legends slot.

Catching up on Skunk Anansie, good shit, Stoosh was one of the albums I borrowed out of my sister's pile when I was a kid and it was great to hear Yes It's Fucking Political in 2022.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
