Not directly festival related, but he is a Glasto stalwart, and what an absolute legend he is!

From the £35 tickets, to really pulling out all the stops, as a fan it’s so nice to feel truly appreciated and respected by an artist.

Some (like me) have made the decision not to watch any of this World Cup, others just have no interest in football but didn’t want to miss either Paul or Billy Bragg. Others want to watch the match but also don’t want to miss the gig.

Many would just say “tough”, but Paul and the team have gone above and beyond to please as many people as they possibly can, and it’s truly commendable. 👏👏👏

Gutted to be missing Jacqui, but wishing her a speedy recovery…and it’s a great excuse to see them both next time! ❤️

100% it goes to extra time.

It's an awkward situation for them as they couldn't risk taking a hard line on it with Jacqui being ill. Otherwise they'd have had 1000s of refunds from footie fans who "really wanted to see Jacqui"

They had organised most of this when they thought Jacqui would be back. He is genuinely a very decent man.

Don't mix football and music, I reckon. 

In 1990 I was at Wembley Stadium watching the Rolling Stones when England lost to West Germany in the World Cup. In 1986 I was at Glastonbury watching Madness on the Pyramid Stage when England lost to Argentina in the World Cup. Earlier that day, Paul Heaton (and Norman) played his first Glasto, with the Housemartins.

What a truly epic show!

The crowd was a bit flat after the football result, but if only took a couple of songs to change that. Wow 🤩🕺🏻

Great pics, seen them  on the acoustic stage before. It was packed right out inside and out. I'd like to see them on a bigger stage.

I had them pencilled in as my headliners this year, but had a last minute urge to give Billie Eilish a shot. I don’t regret that choice as feel I now understand Billie and her music a lot more (and the crowd around me were bouncing!) but glad to have caught Paul now.

A Saturday/Sunday afternoon on the Pyramid would be incredible, and a great singalong. 🤞

They played the Other stage mid afternoon in perhaps 2016. Seem to remember it was muddy,wet and grey and I prefer them with a smaller crowd, more intimate. Have seen them several times on their own tours. Didn’t bother with the acoustic last year as thought it would be crowded and went with Kraungbin/Foals.
