Fantastic!

Just wanted to say a big thanks to you all this wk end, I've been watching at home and reading all your likes and must watches, I've thoroughly enjoyed it.. Highlights have to be Viagra Boys, Editors and Rick/blossoms.. 

Here's hoping to being in the field next year, but if not your company has been special ❤️

Yes this thread has been brilliant all weekend and a godsend for those of us who would normally be there! (Nappy changing this year for me instead of dry cider).

She was my best discovery last year when she played the park.  I don't think I'd have been likely to have found her music had I not seen that.  She is brilliantly quirky and the way she uses her voice is fantastic.

Really enjoyed the 10/15 mins so far. Very nice voice. Shame about the crowd though. 

😞

I too have much enjoyed this thread, let's end the festival on a high yeah? 

 

Twod sounding good here, looking forward to Elton John next

Agreed. My partner is away this weekend so it's great to be able to share Glasto with others. Have really appreciated all the tips and heads up.

Really hope to get there next time.

Really enjoying the War On Drugs. I wonder if the drummer's mother knew Ron Jeremy at any point.

One thing ive noticed about this set, is the lack of flags in the crowd, means there'll be hundreds of them at Elton

The Belgians are present at least!

The War on Drugs with one of the sets of the weekend here! Lovely stuff. Would love to be in that field right now.

Haven’t listened to TWOD in a while but damn am I gonna rectify that after watching this set. So good. Know they get a bit of ‘dad rock’ stick, but goddamn do they do it well.

Could have gone to see them again on Wednesday. Regretting not doing so now. Fantastic live band.

I'm out of votes today, but great post, and spot on. Been throughly brilliant on the forum this weekend, I have totally enjoyed the convos and banter with everyone. Will miss it when back to work tomorrow, but roll on G2024 and hopefully tix. @Neil FYI been awesome on here

I've just had a look at the BBC webcam and it is mental with them in the pyramid field.  I thought it peaked in 2009 and flag mania was receding but that's for sure the most I've ever seen.

Jesus, had minimal expectations but the War on Drugs were unbelievable. f**king incredible band

[Dave_c]

The war on drugs were bloody fantastic. Let's see if I can get in for Reg.

Unbelievable. Nearly had a wee cry and I'm not an emotional person lol. The vibe in the crowd was amazing.

Snap. Though I wouldn’t mind doing a solo Glasto if it came to it…

[trust1878]

War on  Drugs were great. One of the sets I've seen on iplayer that made me wish I was there.

 

Now catching up on Caroline Polachek. Never heard of her before but she has a great voice.

yes, flags all the way to the back of the field, the other stage looks empty

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Definitely the biggest Phramid crowd I’ve ever seen. Good grief 

[ogriff]

Catching up on the Manics set from yesterday, and did multiple double takes as the drummer lad appears to have morphed into middle aged Roger Taylor

Beard, gloves, paunch, the whole (drum) kit and caboodle

[FloorFiller]

Stoked for this. Feels like one of those headliners that’s been a long long time coming and suddenly everything fell perfectly in to place for it to happen. 

[al_coholic]

cannot believe the crowd for an Other stage headliner. Truly shocking. 

[DDave]

Hope he plays I'm dill danding.
