As in the mix, or...?

The enthusiasm. The crowd were flat and he didn't seem that interested.The duets were ok and she gave it a good to be fair to her.

Those sounds don't suit Olivia at all to be fair.

The crowd sounds flat in a lot of the BBC recordings of this year's festival.  Something about the mix is off.

Either that, or it was a particularly shrug-worthy crowd, but I'm inclined to agree with @CaledonianGonzo. 

 

Bob Smith isn't exactly a man known for his explosive range.

Yeah i don't think it's a great live record.

Preordered the vinyl from her site, one of the most fun shows I've ever been to. Long may she reign and return to the Pyramid.

Given how much she embraced the whole thing - her being on shoulders for Pulp the day before feels like folklore in the making - I think she'll be back sooner rather than later. (Probably not before the end of the decade though.)

I reckon it was the Lily Allen moment in 2022 that got her onside, I reckon. Without that positive experience, doubt she'd have agreed to do '25. But yeah, great to have someone of that size who's so clearly still a massive music fan.

Absolutely. Clearly seems to have her head screwed on.

She does seem really bought in. In 2022 she was there for at least two days. There was the Vogue interview where she instantly cited 2022 as her favourite gig. There was a comment from her boyfriend that the set this year had been on her mind loads and she’d put tons of effort into it (or words to that effect). It would be a huge one for the festival to have a chance of getting her back in a few years considering how big she’s going to be.

I’ve seen Driving Licence from that set on TikTok a lot as ‘the moment where an artist realises they’ve made it’ due to the volume of the crowd singing. She liked at least one of the videos IIRC.

Kind of sometimes forget how young she is, possibly because it's a smart head on the shoulders. Hope she continues to keep her feet on the ground.
