Skelts Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Caught a bit of Billie which just confirmed my feeling that she’s not for me. Good luck to her though. Foals here we go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Messy Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Obviously I'd rather be there, but this is one of those that probably looks/sounds way better on telly compared to half a mile back in the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will catch up with Billie tomorrow I'll be watching Foals too, but unfortunately with the sound quality of a transistor radio! And let's face it, Foals need to be LOUD!

Rose-Colored Boy Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 (edited) Whoever advised her to open with a banger from the first album is extremely wise EDIT: and now idontwannabeyouanymore!! Really didn’t think we’d get that one. Edited June 24 by Rose-Colored Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willgooneday Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 (edited) Do American artists just see Glasto as another festival. They never seem to tailor their sets to the event. Think there's a lot of good reasons to focus on British acts - two American headliners in one year is naff. Half of her music is a backing track and her singing isnt exactly setting the world on fire. This kind of pop never really translates to festivals tbh.

Zoo Music Girl Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Billie started great I think. Hope she smashes it. Not a huge fan of the music though so switching to Little Simz now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Music Girl Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Woah Little Simz is fucking cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobWillis2 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 She’s clearly very popular and good at what she does, but you can’t come to Glastonbury and mime your way through half a headline set on the pyramid stage. Think this one was maybe a year or two too soon. Foals already better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harryy Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Not that I’ve been and would know reference points but any guesses as to the size of the Foals crowd size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tijuana Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 1 hour ago, willgooneday said: Sam Fender definitely showing why he has such a good live reputation off the back of his most recent tours. I can kind of understand why he might not have originally had this slot - an hour is a long time to fill with just 2 albums behind you're belt both of which do contain some fluff - playing Howdon Aldi Death Queue' a B-Side (although a well regarded one) and putting Spit of You and Seventeen Going Under mid-set (instead of b2bing it as a closer with Hypersonic Missiles). Way too early in the weekend to be using future headliner, but he's definitely a future headliner based on that. Another album behind that's even remotely as successful as his last 2 and he deserves a Friday night. Your theory about 2 albums not being enough for a headline slot doesn't seem to be stopping that girl headlining the Pyramid. For the record, I have no idea who Billie Eilish is. Anyway, I'm off to watch Primal Scream. Hope you all have a great weekend. Think of it as 'Virtual Glastonbury' or 'GFH' in this post-Covid era. I'm just happy it's back.

DJL Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 (edited) After a busy day… I’m in. Billie does nothing for me but fuck it’s good to see a Pyramid headliner ‘live’. Moved swiftly on to Little Simz which is probably where I would be - West Holts looks great, even if not that busy. Though I’d probably equally enjoy Foals if my partner was as in to them - glad I don’t really have to worry about clashes and compromises!

willgooneday Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 I wonder how the BBC are going to try and big this up? Mining half the songs. Some of the cringiest crowd work I've seen. I know she's probably not done as much live work as she's wanted but crikey. It also highlights a big issue with the streaming era pop she sort of belongs too. It's meant to background music, Glasto are going to have to put more effort into working out who'll be good live. Sam Fender was way better than this.

Suprefan Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Foals goes to the walkway all the way around and to the food stalls on either side. Far side stage left is empty so its not overflowing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
