Try not to take it so personally.

Why would I take it personally? I had not heard a single one of her songs until an hour ago. More bemused by people trying to find reasons to undermine the set.

[Punksnotdead]

Caught the last 30 minutes of O-Rod - I'm a 60 year old bloke & it clearly isn't aimed at me - but, do you know what, it's pretty good! Now that I know old Bob was a guest, I'm gonna have to watch the rest of the set. Certainly a cut above that Charli nonsense yesterday!

[FuzzyDunlop]

O-Rod, the 1st set I've watched this year... 7.5/10.

 

Would have got an 8/10, but she did a couple too many ballads that I didnt like.

 

A very worthy headliner, a complete star. I'd have watched her if I was there. Cos I've seen the prodigy 10+ times.

 

I'd have enjoyed O-Rod if I was there.

You wouldn’t still be here with these temperatures this weekend!

Agree, all the pearlclutching about the crowd not screaming their minds off when Robert turned up (even though there was still cheering) is proof that people wanna criticise.

 

She understood the brief, she nailed it, she proved that she deserved that spot and will very likely return to headline in the next 5 to 8 years. That's all anyone needs to know after that.

I watched quite a bit and quite enjoyed the performance, but just couldn’t figure out why a predominantly young crowd was so sedate 

[Ryan1984]

I think I’m just about ready to turn in and will be on the highlights alongside Wimbledon etc this week.

 

As always, in the increasingly likely scenario where we end up ticketless, it’s been a pleasure.

 

Fingers crossed for 2027!

Probably knackered as they have been camping/partying for better half of a week. 😄

Well done Olivia, easily the best headliner this year.
 

Feels to me like she’s done more then enough to be invited back in 5 or so festivals time, when her fans are in their mid-20s (and more of them will be at the festival in the first place) and want to relive their teenage days (with a little more drink involved!). 
 

 

[LinvoyPrimus]

Loved that. Really good booking - considering she’s only 22 and already has a daft amount of bangers under her belt, I imagine she may make a return down the line. Great special guest. I remember thinking her band were great back when she showed up in 2022 and they reminded me again tonight.

Fantastic to see an all female band with female lead to headline Glastonbury. Whole all being young. Huge influence on the next generation.

[Punksnotdead]

Well I guess that's that for another year. On paper, this was not a vintage year for me - especially assuming Neil Young was not gonna be shown. But I've had a blast, 3 days have flown by. Neil Young was the undoubted highlight for me, but loads of other acts I watched were miles better than I expected & I've still got a few still to watch.

 

Thanks everyone for your company on here. As always, it's been good fun.

Thought her band were excellent 👌🙌 Wasn’t overly familiar with her tunes and expected to turn over but stuck with it as did the crowd going by the overhead shots throughout.

Great stuff, genius choice of guest, a triumph for her 👏

From reading socials all weekend, it seems like Sunday night has across the board been a success & definitely the winner.

 

Fri the 1975 got panned. Charli XCX did yesterday - but Sunday has had universal praise really. Even the "why is she On the pyramid?" Crowd dont seem to think Olivia was bad, just that the prodigy should be on there.

 

After what has been a bit of an odd few days publicity wise for the festival, it's good they sign of positively.

 

Here's to actually being there in 2027

Had a bloody great weekend, with this year being a great improvement on last year's I had a lot more fun! Way more to catch up on but Osees, Denzel Curry, Bob Vylan, The Maccabees, Turnstile, Fat Dog, Amyl and the Sniffers and Weezer my highlights so far! Will hopefully be there in 2027 (when I'm 22, which feels a while away) but let's see what happens! Thanks for a great time everyone!

what's your metric for this? Media reviews all mostly positive, and not like anybody who already disliked 1975 was ever going to give them a chance. Did your mates just dislike them or is there some data behind this claim? 

[ICESTONE]

Signing off, thanks for the chat, see you in 27 as there is a snowballs chance in the fiery pits of hell of little old me with no mates getting a ticket.

 

Stay safe all.

100%, clicked on out of interest and watched it through, pretty impressed, nice to see a couple of Cure songs too, just had a quick scan through the Prodigy, looks amazing will have to watch that.

My metric was as I said, what I read on social media. I wasnt there & didnt watch them. So Im only going off what I read over twitter tbh, mainly from people I dont know.

 

The one media review I read said it was a "divisive set". So I guess plenty will have liked it if it divides opinion, that's fair.

I only planned too watch a few Olivia songs but she smashed it and I watched the lot.

 

then caught up with a bit of Prodigy. That was going off! Camera/editing work was fantastic. Firestarter Kieth tribute was f**king banging and gave a massive lump to the throat.

 

I had an unexpected 15 hours on site but was working this weekend so I've got a lot of iplayer to watch.

 

[Punksnotdead]

I wonder whether the BBC will put a load of sets on iPlayer this time next year? - I certainly hope so, a year off feels unbearable - especially for an old git like me!

[airwaves]

Just catching some of Prodigy 

This set is insane. Just the way to finish a Glasto. Should have been Pyramid. 

The lighting - have they got their own power station out back?? 

[Comfy Bean]

The crazy fool fella featuring there in the bbc final highlights piece 👍
