BBC Coverage 2022

[jannybruck]

Yeah Self Esteem will be selling a lot of headline tour tickets off the back of that, and be an easy late-on-Other booking for next album. Good for her.

[Barkwin]

Primal Scream excellent - slow set by their standards, but epic once gospel singers on stage

Bobby and co. are true Glasto people, a true Glasto band

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Most interesting thing about AJ Tracey’s set is the variety of different places represented by flags. Have spotted Macedonia, Mexico, Spain, South Africa, Wales and Leicester City so far. Clearly a man with global appeal.

God I love Yves Tumour 

[Barkwin]

Any way of watching Silver Hayes stage at all??

[jannybruck]

Yves is crap with very messy sound. Metronomy amazing fun on the Other, a super slick machine.

Not live, possibly in the catch up vids but not sure. Tiktok? 😂

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Metronomy looking and sounding good. Their crowd is HUGE

[Phoenix Girl]

Did wonder what Oscar from Metronomy was doing then for a minute for his "Glastonbury moment" 😆

You ok Zoo Music Girl? 🙂 

I need to watch this next! A cathartic cry fest is always amazing.

 

Watching Metronomy - the crowd looks good, the weather looks good, oh how I wish I was in that field.

Ha yeah I'm fine, thank you! Doesn't take much to set me off these days but I usually have to be physically at the event, not just watching it on TV! Absolutely loved her set.

Now watching Gabriels and it's stunning stuff. His voice and his general vibe is so beautiful.

[GlastoFomo]

Yves Tumor is batshit crazy. Wish I was there, doesn't come across as well on TV

tbf, all festivals on tv come across a bit weird because I'm usually sober and trying to think about the performance, rather than enjoy it

Yessssssss. So good. 

Metronomy are having a whale of a time. Doing a great job of winning over anyone primarily there to get a good spot for Glass Animals and O-Rod.

Doesn't come across in real life either, they were lame supporting NIN this week. Decent studio act but that's about it.

Very much enjoying Metronomy, what an incredible live band. Tight fun

I'm switching over to Squid, probably my favourite band over the last two years. Saw them at Printworks in London last year, probably the best gig of my life so can't wait to see them here

Glad I can watch from home, would love to see Metronomy too

Well Skunk were amazing, lived up to the hype and beyond.

[GlastoFomo]

Lack of mosh for Squid is a bit unnerving. 

[benali]

Squid! Love them.

[Time Being]

The Bonobo and Four Tet sets looked incredible last night, made it tough to not be there. What a glorious evening of live music that could have been. First time watching on the BBC, really impressed with the coverage. Other TV take-way - the place looks packed. Bonobo for instance looked like he had the whole West Holts field full, as compared to 2014 I remember standing in between Brothers Bar and the stage and having lots of room around us. Maybe the TV footage is deceptive, but also reading about the crowds in other threads.

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.

[SwallowOrSleepOnTheWetSpot]

Why is the backing vocal track at Beabadoobee so overwhelming? Or better yet, why is there even one?

[ICESTONE]

Not a flag lover myself, but i get the comedy value in a lot of them, what i have never figured out is why tote a massive pole around with a flag on it just identifying what football team you like, don't you have all season to do that?

So good, right?!

Watching Squid now.  Seems a lot of fun.

[GlastoFomo]

Squid are so good. Crowd seemed to be up for Boy Racers

A bit of a semi mosh going on now!
