Ash were on a non-televised stage, right? Could do with some late 90s nostalgia at this stage

Yeah, Avalon unfortunately, and there are a few I would have watched.

Yes, Avalon, im off to see them in Manchester later this year, almost went to see them over Stevie Wonder in 2010, glad i stuck with watching Stevie

Say what you like about Biffy Clyro, but Many of Horror - fairly or not - became a cross-generational anthem fifteen years ago, and it has remained so. Not many bands have that ace up the back sleeve.

Flicked over to Busta now, and is it just yer da's kareoke session?

[Punksnotdead]

Now getting my first FOMO of the festival - not because of what's on TV but what's not - if I was there I'd be at Leftfield for Billy Bragg yelling along to 'Power in a union' or 'New England'. Console myself with the fact that I saw him last week supporting Paul Heaton.

This is not musically good, but it is entertaining in a very bemused way.

[Kempleton]

I’m a bit behind the rest of you watching the Biffy set.

 

Just what I needed at this point, I think. Absolutely love ‘Living is a problem’. They’ve played the hits, which I think is what this slot needs, to be fair.

 

Looking forward to the 1975, and hopefully Four Tet, if the stream is still going by then.

[NorthernSoul52]

Busta's got flow, give him that, but it is having the unfortunate effect of this.

Yeah it's a strange one. I would definitely have been there if I had a ticket and would have been loving it, but it is quite jarring the constant wheel ups and stopping.

[NorthernSoul52]

Waiting for him to slag off Trump, to be fair.

Giving Self Esteem a go, really not sure what to think of this, she was decent on John Peel a few years ago but this is just a bit weird

[st dan]

Busta and his production team have definitely just discovered Chat GPT haven’t they.

Absolutely have.

[NorthernSoul52]

Reckon about 40,000 for Biffy Clyro at least there. Steady enough.

[Ryan1984]

En Vogue looked fun earlier.

[NorthernSoul52]

Did indeed.

[NorthernSoul52]

Self Esteem fully leaning into the theatrical concept - far from the first, and you imagine there will be some for The 1975 later too - but not sure this works on The Park. Better suited to Woodsies, perhaps.

[NorthernSoul52]

As for the tunes, I'm... relatively indifferent. She's got a very big crowd up there.

Weird yes but strangely captivating

[Handshake]

Self Esteem bringing it, but can’t help but think it would be better in the dark. 

[NorthernSoul52]

It's almost like sub-Pet Shop Boys level of arch sound.

Exactly. It's not paying off with the natural light.

[Walter Sobchak]

She is filthy 😂

[noisenoiseandmorenoise]

Self Esteem is never going to be for me but fair play in a year of the BBC having to navigate political controversies for having passed the censors with a stage of gyrating nuns .
