Royal Blood sounding huge. Don't care that they threw a tantrum and in turn made people on Twitter throw a tantrum. They'll always have bangers.

The noise they create for a two piece is quite something. Love them.

Glad they seem to be going down well. Much ado about nothing with what happened at the BBC radio 1 big weekend. They don’t deserve the sh*t they got. Lots of bands have done far worse.

I said before that it really didn't warrant such this much of a scandal. You'd think they walked on stage and gave a speech about how Hitler was right, the way people were so outraged about it, rather than just simply moaning about how quiet the crowd was.

Musician has an ego moment. In other news, sky is blue. More at 6.

Hozier gets sh*t for being boring but he has a bloody great voice...

[sedra]

I would have sworn they were on before Foos in 2017, but ive just checked the lineup and they were on different days, my mind is playing tricks on me

Exactly this. Think you can see they appreciate the crowd’s reaction to them. Can’t have been nice not knowing how the crowd would react. Was always gonna be a hard job following The Foo’s but they aren’t doing a bad job.

Fred Again... First time I have seen him. Great sound as the sun starts to set

[dingbat2]

Bored with Royal Blood, see then before and it just doesn't seem to be working for me

[MrBarry465]

I just don't get the Fred Again hype....

Just a bloke tapping away frantically on a midi pad for an hour.

Never heard anything by Fred again but quite enjoying this. 

[Punksnotdead]

Need an espresso martini to pick me up after 7 hours of watching!

It's pretty good and he does have a few bangers but it's a million miles of likes of The Prodigy.

Nope, me neither. Thought it might be a Right Said Fred tribute act, but apparently not! 😄

In fairness, I'm 58 & realise it's not aimed at me!

[Benjsh]

Looks nervous as hell though tbf. 

[Drums Please Fab]

Fred again superb.

 

I recommend people look at his YouTube channel. 

 

Hour long videos of him playing piano and improvising on his London rooftop.

 

It's really really good. I didn't even know who he was until about 4 months ago.

Can't get enough now.

[Fish Bulb]

Young Fathers absolutely killing it

Yeah hes incredibly talented, I just havent ever been able to get into him and I like a lot of electronic music.

 

I find his music tries to be 'too uplifting' if that's even a thing...

[Spindles]

Young fathers are the best act on the bill this year for me.  

[prestonmike]

Doesnt look like a very big crowd for Warpaint

[Benjsh]

I always feel Dance acts on the Other Stage work better when it goes dark. Then you get the full experience with light show too etc. 

 

He's mad talented though. Just feels like it's missing some oomph.

Will have to catch up on this when the full sets appear on i-player - I don't want to miss Sparks.

[Spindles]

I'd heartily recommend it, they are an absolute force live and storming it tonight.

[verrymerry]

Playing super catch up, loving Hozier! I didn't realise I knew as many songs as I do, good old Spotify chucking them in randomly 😅
