Rick Astley

[William Mann]

Can I just mention just how utterly brilliant Rick Astley was! Amazing energy, great humour and of course outstanding music!

Teaching wee f**ksax from off of Arctic Monkeys how to play to a big crowd.

Rick was great. To the extent I’m well up for seeing him on tour. Something I never thought I’d say. Utterly charming and great pipes. 

[Miathedog]

It was such a fun start to the day, we all loved it 😊

All set for set no 2 with Blossoms 

[prestonmike]

Wow, watching Rick Astley and Blossoms on TV, really wish i was there, looks amazing, who knew Rick Astley would be one of the highlights of tis years Glastonbury?

[Lucy92]

This smiths covers set is incredible. Never thought I’d have ‘Rick does jäger shots on the woodsies with blossoms’ on my will happen this year list 😂

[jannybruck]

The Rick/Blossoms thing is sensational. Tour immediately please.

[dingbat2]

This won't be beaten all weekend! Incredible stuff

 

[dingbat2]

Wow, wowww, this is amazing in Woodsies. Whoever thought of this mashup is a genius. They will talking about Rick Astley at Glasto for many years to come

[prestonmike]

Rick is having the time of his life! i've a new found respect for him after this weekend

[Nobody Interesting]

Sliced bread take a back seat.

This is the best thing now.

[kalifire]

Just the right amount of talent, risk taking, and lots of self deprecation. Pitch perfect from Rick. A brilliant start to the day.

The Rick/Raye one-two is this year’s Wet Leg/Confidence Man.

That was one of the best things I have ever seen at Glastonbury, and I'm not even there!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

this is even better than his solo set. sh*t

[devli]

Phenomenal.

[jannybruck]

This was a borderline perfect Glastonbury set.

[GlastoEls]

My God that Smiths set was amazing!

[SheffJeff]

Next year there should be a Rick Astley tent where he just does covers of different bands music with different bands all day... the options are endless.

[FloorFiller]

Saw an interview with him yesterday where he was talking about his set and how he didn’t think many people would turn up for him and they’d just be there for whoever’s on after. Probably knowingly talking himself down there a bit, but how wrong he was - surely one of the biggest and most hyped first on Pyramid crowds. 

Also great to hear that, despite all the lineup woes in the run up, so many of the so-so acts that people weren’t exactly ecstatic about are turning in excellent performances. Getting the impression it’s been the year of the underdog so far.

The smiths set absolutely knocked it out of the park, sweary Rick Astley is hardly a sight I'd ever have expected to enjoy.

I was there and it’s the best thing I’ve seen in 8 visits. Can’t get over just how fun that was. 

[al_coholic]

That was stunning. Rick is amazing. 

[Calvin Klein]

Just watched the Smiths set. That was amazing. Wish I was there

[LoraMaze]

He should headline, would be a f**king great singalong 🤣
