Yeah, and much as I was into grunge at the time, I dismissed him as some stinky-looking old man with boring "rock n roll" songs. And I still do.

 

It wasn't really a serious comment* the album with Pearl Jam is awful.

 

 

*In keeping with the subject itself.

You old folks are supposed to be at Neil Young. 

yeah, but he's previous generation...got to rebel against that.

Might have to be Beth Gibbons.

Nah, he's for the Boomers. As a Gen X gent (49) myself, I'm going to be seeing Charli XCX while wishing that she didn't clash with Doechii.

as a 46yo Gen X gent id be at Doechii wishing she didn't clash with Charli and Leftfield.

 

I think I know one person who would choose Neil Young and he would likely be swayed by teenage daughters to see either Charli or Doechii instead.

Count me among the ‘I’m GenX so I can’t be considered old yet’ denialists 😂

 

47 here, and I’ll be enjoying Doechii regretting not being able to see Charli as well.

All going a bit Logan's Run on which stages I'll be welcome at apparently

I'm afraid that reference is lost amongst us young millennials.

Yes?

 

Quite excited to find out if I've just inadvertently cancelled myself by admitting to something dreadful, in which case my journey to middle age is 100% complete.

So, consensus?

Probably top tier in the crowd if you're into hyperpop. Decent on TV but you miss 90% of the vibe which is key to performance styles like this one had.

Seemed fun early on, gets very samey and boring though 

[RRChip]

Started off strong but got really bored by the end

Best thing I've seen this weekend

[irnkrtn]

Loved it. Thought her performance was top tier. She was clearly absolutely amped for it. Amazing in the crowd too. 

[sedra]

Gave it 30 mins and decided I just didn’t get it and felt extremely old. Crowd management was good although loads of room round the sides. Left to catch end of NY on way back to tent who sounded great to a half empty field.

Have only seen an Instagram clip, did Charli just rattle up and down the runways, in her pants, mining while wearing sunglasses at night? Depending on how many drugs audience members had ingested, this could have been pretty fun. She has some great tunes, miming or not.

[kalifire]

Quite the spectacle but ultimately cabaret grinding.

[Lucy92]

Thought it was good fun! 

[yosoyyoberdi]

Feels like Charli has taken pretty bad not being booked for the Pyramid. Nothing was particularly bad but she hasn't put any extra effort to make it special. 0 guests or changes to the setlist like she has done for other shows elsewhere.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Wait Lorde didn't show?

That's what she does lol, that is her show. Most of her fans probably dressed like her too, like Olivias did for her.

The brat backdrop being lit on fire was new.

[NorthernSoul52]

End of an era for brat , I guess. 

[The Nal]

Flicked her on and lasted about 90 seconds. A binfire of backing tracks and miming.
