I've a feeling he'll have to show up on time tonight, if he cant show up on time for a Glastonbury headline slot, then who else will take a risk in booking them?

It didn’t stop them being booked for countless festivals back when they were constantly turning up late pre-Slash and Duff rejoining, but I think they’ve had a pretty good track record ever since they came back, undoubtedly as a stipulation to them rejoining.

Have they accidently gone to the Leftfield stage rather than the Park? Or are BBC not showing them?

[al_coholic]

Actually really enjoying Central Cee. Not my thing. But at least he is putting on a good show. Unlike Digga D yesterday.

Yeah, leftfield. On the park stage now. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Half an hour late but Rina is here ❤️ very excited for this 

[al_coholic]

GnR on time. What's the world coming to

[roughbloke]

Is GnR already more fun than AM?

How's Roses voice doing. 

[FloorFiller]

Early days and he hasn’t exactly had to strain his voice yet but Axl ain’t sounding half bad. Obviously a far cry from his heyday, but nowhere near as bad as some of the circulating videos would suggest. Hope that’s the vibe in the field as well. 

Now to just hope they don’t f**k it by playing too many plodders too early on. 

[FloorFiller]

Decent crowd too.

😂 I didn’t know much about GnR but with everyone saying they’d be late and Axl’s voice gone, I thought it would be a shitshow.

Seems like a decent show so far!

Wonder if Neil decided to give them a shot 

[Chapple12345]

Rina is killing it already, she's someone  I'm very excited to see at Reading this year. She was at Latitude last year but hadn't released Hold the Girl so we missed out on so many of these great tracks live

His voice may not be as good as it once was but he has far more stage presence then Mr Turner could ever wish for.

[Spindles]

Be interesting to see how Axl's stamina holds up, he's usually beetroot red and sweatier than Fuzzy on a spring afternoon a couple of songs in.

Looks like they’ve got a bigger crowd than Metallica (from memory) 

[matrainertje]

Heard they put his voice very low in the mix compared to others.

I comfortably walked as far as the mixing desk for Metallica, looks to be going much further back than that tonight

Looks like he’s lost a fair bit of weight so hopefully that goes in his favour. Looks like he’s enjoying himself too which is nice to see and a far cry from when he was constantly getting pissed off in the Frankenstein version of the band.

[northernringo]

Sounds decent so far.

May be wrong, but it looks like Lizzo's crowd was bigger?

I was thinking the same.  He's looking his age but has shed some of that tonnage he was carrying last time I saw them play a few years back.

[Punksnotdead]

Manics sounding better than they have in 20 years - glad I saved this to watch later at night.
