This weekend is well worth the licence fee, isn’t it?

Yep. Imagine this weekend without it 🤯

Catching up on Sudan Archives. Another wildly entertaining hidden gem I’d absolutely have missed if I’d been on the farm.

100% - I'm too old & decrepit (and poor) to last the 5 days on the farm nowadays, but I'm so glad I can still enjoy it from home!

Still a few hours to go...

 

 

😂

This site really needs a laughing reaction vote. I remember reading somewhere a review that mentioned something along the lines of ' a white ginger screaming GIMME SOME REGGAE before some cod reggae that made the toes curl' 

 

Still looking forward to the spectacle tonight. I just wish GnR had the chance to headline even 20 years ago. They have the songs still at least, if not Axels voice. Part of me hopes for a massive Axel tantrum/outburst that will go down in Glastonbury history..

Did anyone see the backstage / interview with Rick Astley? What a nice chap and thrilled to be there! He even admitted it probably meant way more to him than the crowd.

[Lakey91]

I'll be honest so far the only Pyramid sets I've really enjoyed were Rick and Texas! I'd say I'm showing my age but I'm 32.

Was just watching Shame on iplayer and the singer, while crowdsurfing, took that pink guitar that was held aloft constantly last year and smashed it to pieces

It was beautiful

Enormous crowd for Lewis Capaldi 

[steviewevie]

I would watch but there's some mad global sh*t on bbc news.

[JayDiesel]

Being at Shame was probably the single best set I'll see this weekend and maybe ever. Unreal.

Not into Capaldi’s music but it’s hard to dislike his personality.

He's the most Fiat 500 Deano LADbible pandering person going, and his music is dull, dreary dirge.

Just seems like a nice fella to me, I don’t know.

Anyway time to enjoy Smiths songs without having to feel conflicted about it being Morrissey singing them.

Yep. Would happily watch him just talk crap for an hour with no songs interrupting it.

Wonder if the guitarist for Maggie Rogers wearing a Blur t-shirt is the closest we're gonna get to any Blur content at this weekend's festival.

I saw her a few years ago open for Haim. Great singer.

First moshpit I've seen this weekend - f**k that, it must be too hot in that tent!

I'm going to Muse at MK Bowl tomorrow and the forecast is saying 30 degrees. Which feels like a far from ideal moshing temperature.

Every year its something. Our abortion rights got taken away last year on the friday so the rest of the weekend lots of american artists got to say their piece on tele.

[Cuban Pete]

Maggie Rogers set is fantastic, her voice 🙌🏻

Phoebe Bridgers getting a crowd to scream "f**k the Supreme Court" was the primary one I recall from that.

I didn't realise Lewis Capaldi was on at the same time. Which explains why the crowd seemed similarly thin to what Chvrches had.

But yeah. Very happy with my choice of this set.

She’s the best. Deserves the world.

Well some people like it as the crowd looks huge. Also he is managing to deal with Tourette’s whilst playing on stage so good for him - yes his music isn’t for everyone but he isn’t pretentious about it.
