You just know that the BBC are going to show THAT song about 15,000 times over the weekend!

Wouldn't surprise me if the security people do a dance routine to it as well - can't see them doing it to Yusuf/Cat.

You guessed right.

Did they? 😃 Haven't been watching 'cos I know they're going to show it over & over again!

That was much better than expected in fairness. Great showmanship. 

[prestonmike]

That was brilliant!

Up the Lathums! Great band

[Kempleton]

Is everyone else getting the trippy shroomy filter on the Other Stage coverage?

 

Or is my internet connection on the blink?

Yeah, like them. Remind me of early Maccabees.

Their Latitude set was incredible last year, opened on motorcycle, ended on Tolerate and had a She Sells Sanctuary cover thrown in the middle for good measure - definitely be catching them on the stream later 

First time I’d seen them live at Latitude last year. They blew me away. Should have been headlining that night.

Trying to find Kelis on the iPlayer. Am I being a dolt or is it just not on there yet?

So Rick Astley playing drums and singing AC/DC Highway to Hell was probably not on your bingo card for today! 😀

That was the point I began to think I had sunstroke

The Lathums are living the dream, playing Glastonbury not long after forming at a media studies sixth form in Wigan.

That was reet good that! On to Working Mens Club next.

Has anyone spotted the flag in the Pyramid crowd selling 30% off some gym membership? I hope that’s some kind of satire and somebody hasn’t actually made a flag and taken it to Glastonbury to flog sh*tty gym subscriptions.

f**king hell, Rick Astley is so much better than anticipated! I knew he was talented, but not that talented, fair play!!

Never thought I’d have FOMO over missing him either 🤣

[Punksnotdead]

So, what's everyone's thoughts on tonight's headliners? I'm struggling a bit - don't mind a bit of LDR, but it might be a bit depressing for a Saturday night. CATQ is alright but a bit arty-farty for me. G'n'R will probably be dogshit. Think I'm leaning towards a bit of Loyle Carner & then switching to Fatboy for the party vibes.

THeyre a weird one the Manics, ive seen them at their own show and loved them, saw them at Leeds festival and loved them, but last time they were at Glastonbury (2014?) i was a bit underwhelmed by them and left half way through, will definitely give them a watch today though

They did that weird Europe song in the middle with some random German chick too. Was a bit off

Also just noticed the BBC have cut Marea (We’ve lost dancing) from Fred Again’s set, arguably his biggest tune…

There is likely a torrent of the broadcast version of his set which has it but you just have to get it.

[Punksnotdead]

Great start from Working Mens Club - getting a strong Madchester vibe!

will probably take it as a chance to catch up on Maggie Rogers and Maneskin seeing as the partner wants to watch Lewis Capaldi and Lizzo when those two are on. then a bit of C+TQ before bed

This week I've gone from feeling slapped in the face every time Glasto was mentioned on the BBC during the time we would've been travelling there and setting up (even bloody Women's Hour was there) to being really glad of coverage from so many stages. Likely I'd have missed Sparks and nipplegate if I'd been there. And last night as I headed upstairs I thought 'at least I don't have to walk 2 miles to my bed'. Would still bite someone's hand off for a ticket though...

This was taken from the iPlayer schedule 

There a similar screengrab to this for today's picks?

There's quite a few acts I wouldn't have seen if id been there, missing out on a ticket and missing all the stuff away from the main stages will still hurt, but i wont be quite as upset about missing out on tickets in future as i was this year, the BBC coverage is pretty good, just need them to add a couple of other stages, Acoustic and Avalon for a start

Really enjoying their set, and a nice reminder I still need to listen to their latest album. Their debut was very good.

Found Working Men’s Club a bit dull. Switch to Sudan Archives on the West Holts
