Glastonbury 2023

I agree with @ZedLeg because I see the Happy Mondays, UB40, even Shakespeare’s sister as being quite ‘pop’.

[dinny_g]

Yeah, it’s semantics really isn’t it. Interpretation.

And it’s not really that I don’t like it as such. I thought Billie Eilish was fantastic last year. Adele too was great.

[Swervin_Mervin]

Whereas I thought they were shit

[Gavster]

I loved Billie Eilish’s set in 2019, that was a banger, didn’t see the 2022 set tho’

[Swervin_Mervin]

Couldn't hear any of it as she mumbled through it.

[Gavster]

Has anyone got their eye on anything today? Currently in a Ryanair plane heading back from Italy and planning to spend the afternoon/evening in front of Glasto TV

Meh, some years the festivals have line ups that appeal to you, others not so much. Half the fun of festivals is watching bands you didn't realise you liked live and then smashing their set.

I go to little one called truck - last year was awesome because they had everything everything & royal Blood, but I saw plenty of other bands who turn out to be awesome - Reytons stood out.

This year they have the streets, Jamie T and a few others. It doesn't look like a particularly strong one, but who knows!

Paul Heaton’s set was excellent. Lovely to see Norman Cook join him for Happy Hour too.

[ZedLeg]

Watched NoName’s set this morning. Really good.

[Carlos]

Paul Heaton’s set was excellent. Lovely to see Norman Cook join him for Happy Hour too.

He was great live and so many catchy songs I hadn't heard for a long time

I'm looking forward to Cyndi Lauper as my guilty secret at 2.30

Olivia Dean not going to blow yer socks off if you want QOTSA style thrills, but a lovely set all the same

Mary Wallopers most entertaining

[dinny_g]

I quite liked Jungle last night

And Michael Kiwanuka was good - only caught the end of it though. Need to find it in iPlayer

There is a Mark Corrigan flag being waved in front of The Last Dinner Party.

Five headline sets Coldplay ? Five ? That’s insane !

[dinny_g]

Orbital when it’s bright just doesn’t seem right

[Swervin_Mervin]

It's better than no Orbital though.

And with Tilda Swinton going on about little fish big fish and cardboard boxes

[dinny_g]

There are a lot of people my age in the crowd…

[dinny_g]

Still got it…

[Mito Man]

Coldplay?

[dinny_g]

no Orbital…

[Swervin_Mervin]

no Orbital…

Yeah they killed it. Best act so far for me
