Just watching some footage on iPlayer at home... Have they cut lots of bits? I feel like Sam Fender has a lot of his moments where he was talking to the crowd cut from the upload. Also there seems to be sets missing. I can't find Charli XCX or Confidence Man for some reason.

If you can’t find sets then try searching for them instead of going through the whole list - that’s how I found Confidence Man after briefly worrying that it hadn’t been filmed (and it’s just as good on TV as it was whilst there - what a fun act).

Yeah I did a search for Charli but it's not showing it for me. Strange. I'm sure it'll turn up

yeah iconic moment, find it weird that they cut it from iplayer but uploaded it to youtube, at least it is available somewhere I guess!

I think they know the youtube hits are more important because everyones going to be able to access that and at least they gave into doing this for once instead of holding back. Still stupid to not have an entire intact performance.

yeah true, makes sense about Youtube being more accessible, just a bit of a buzzkill it being missing from the overall set!

I think it's just a really easy thing not to do, and if somebody tells me they'd prefer me to not do it, that's that. I wouldn't say the slur so I won't sing it either.

Can't wait to get stuck into the coverage tomorrow, not sure if I want to relive Foals or watch Billie who we missed as a result.

Didn't realise BBC decided to censor Olivia Rodrigo's performance and cut out the whole speech/song with Lily Allen from the set uploaded to iplayer, pretty spineless of them

They cut it out? That's awful. Maybe bleep the fucks if it's broadcast in the daytime, but everyone should be allowed to say what they want.

Bit gutted about that - she was my headliner choice for Sunday, but I physically wasn't up to it, so went to the Cabaret tent instead.

Me too. My girlfriend's family watched it at home so it was definitely all recorded. They spotted us on TV a lot apparently!

Been watching some of the sets today and I've got to say this seems like some of the worst coverage the BBC has done. It's bad enough that Charli is missing, but they seem to have cut little bits of sets out.

The Olivia Rodrigo bit seems to be well documented as well, but watching Sam Fender and Confidence Man, it seems like they've cut little bits out where the artists were interacting with the crowd or just the short breaks between songs. Feels so unnecessary to me.

Ok, so got back yesterday and knackered after the 5 hour driver had to have some recoup time. Off now from work until the 5th so now i can wallow in the 3 days music that was. I've gone through the acts on the televised stages and will watch those i missed because of clashes and those i watched. I've counted 30, so will keep me occupied. I think it might just reaffirm my love for the place. What i love when watching these back are the crowd reactions, full of enjoyment. How could you not want to be a part of it.

Are they missing the day by day highlights or am I not looking hard enough for them? We've got Thursday highlights, but theres usually one per day isn't there? 

The Billie show under TV section has a lot of that days stuff on it as well.

    • Very quiet in here at the moment.....again.   I hate this time as other festivals start and we see who Sziget should've booked 🤣   The Cure knocking it out of the park once again at Primavera showed that they have fans of all ages and, even if it's felt they don't represent the direction Sziget is going in, they would've been a huge draw.   Ditto The XX, who I've never been a massive fan of tbh, but put me in my place at Primavera with a cracking set.

    • Yeah, I feel like people are really overlooking just how fantastic Simple Minds are. ABC have a classic 80s new wave album behind them as well.   That being said, yeah it's not worth travelling for. But it's a lineup I would be happy with if it were local to me
    • On the Wet Leg crowd - the opening day always has the worst crowd of the festival. A lot of locals show up purely because it's a cheap evening, often with not much interest in the acts performing, so, while the talking is an issue throughout the festival (and increasingly at gigs/fests everywhere) it's particularly rough on the Wednesday every year. I'll only bother next year if I really like the act playing.  The wristband is basically a souvenir these days, which I like, as I keep them. Also I guess for the festival it's kind of cheap advertising as people walk around the city with them on.
