Northtim Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Don’t get the Billie bashing. It’s not for me but she is undoubtably huge and big enough to headline. If you don’t like it you head to one of the 100 or so other stages. It’s that simple isn’t it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that would be very stupid. I mean without Covid McCartney wouldn’t be playing THIS year anyway. He was booked for the 50th not because Emily wanted him to play. Could have had Eilish, Foals and Kendrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fender isnt my thing, i think its dull as dishwater BUT I watched and was happy for a young lad from Newcastle to be on that stage and thought his performance was solid. You don't have to like someone's music to appreciate their talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen her headline a few festivals and she stank up the joint. She isn't a "casual" friendly artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormzy wasn't my cup of tea either but there was far more to appreciate in the show. It was clear a lot of thought had gone into it and it was made into a really special night. This is a carbon copy of her arena show put on the Pyramid and imo doesn't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I can't think of anything more dull than watching Foals but if we were all the same it would be dull as fuck. Little Simz killing it for me.

Yeah that sounds superb to me although as above there’d be a fair portion of the crowd who’d be after an older act so have to factor that in unfortunately.

ghostdancer1 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Great, another thread RCB has turned into a whinge about white men with guitars. Someone must have mentioned a Gallagher a few hours ago to set him off. Anyway Eilish seems fairly shite, Little Simz is excellent based on the last 20mins.

That's fine, a band or act killing it in one stage - doesn't mean they should headline automatic... Ive seen bands in clubs if ,500 people kill it. But they couldn't hold an audience of 100k.

theesundayroast Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Billie has done great but I can't help but feel Foals and Simz would've put on a better show. Completely disregarding the crowd pull factor here though so appreciate its a hollow comment. Solely judging on how good the acts have been when I've seen them live vs on stream tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messy Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Big finale from Billie. Agree that she was probably 5 or so big songs short here though. Surprise crowd-pleasing cover wouldn't have gone amiss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprise crowd-pleasing cover wouldn't have gone amiss. A special guest would’ve been nice (something she clearly isn’t averse to having done it at Coachella). Also missing out her only UK number one was a bad call. Also she’s finished 10 minutes early which is a bit shit. Solid 8/10 in general though.

CRW5252 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Not really my thing but I think Billie has done a good job. She has boat loads of charisma and ended the set with a bang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
