Glastonbury 2023

Axl can't sing anymore, sounds like he's mumbling through a straw.

[Rich B]

Unfortunately no. I’d rather cheese-grate my scrotum than listen to them. Sorry to fans. We’re all different etc.

I don't really like rock music but appreciate talent.

Fair enough: looooooads of folks love them, so I accept so
I may be an outlier. But. Non for me.

Same here Mik. I never got them other than the odd big tune.

The whole set last night was just like listening to Slash having a jam session whilst the cameraman patted himself on the back for getting the "silhouette of slash in the corner against the night sky with flags waving" shot for 40 minutes.

Never really got gnr, some great big hits but also a lot of self indulgent rubbish too.

I don’t know what’s going on with the glasto headliners, they seem to be either trying to be controversial or old dad bands way past their best. There don’t seem to be any wow moments or anything to get the crowd going. All very average.

Obviously Elton John tonight isn’t going to change that.

Love the media reports of how devastated Lana del ray was at getting cut off before she could finish her set. You were half an hour late getting on stage love, you said it was because of how long your hair took. No one’s fault but yours

[Mito Man]

I’m looking forward to Elton John for all the wrong reasons after his recent performance of “I’m dill danding”

[jamcg]

It’s not “how good is Elton going to be” it’s “how much can he fuck this up”

Rick Astley and Blossoms doing The Smiths. I think Blossoms are great anyway and I wanted to watch to see how they got on with performing covers. I absolutely loved it! Covered all of the classics and the skill they showed as a band was first class.

Rick Astley clearly had the best time on stage and unless you're a massive Smiths fan and feel anyone covering them is sacrilege, you can't not enjoy him doing it.

Yeah totally this

I love The Smiths, although it's a tough listen now for me, knowing the cvnt that Morrissey has turned into

But this was a great set

A real highlight

Watching it now. Very good.

Astley is the perfect counter to that miserable twunt Morrissey

Can't help but like the guy. His main stage set was good too.

Lewis Capaldi was hard to watch, poor lad..

Lewis Capaldi was hard to watch, poor lad..

First time I've seen him perform. Thoroughly enjoyed it and fair play to him for getting up there and doing it with his condition. I had no idea it was so bad.

[DeskJockey]

I thought his set was great, and the support from the crowd was amazing.

[Gavster]

I think that people have come to love Lewis Capaldi more for his personality than for his songs.

Well it’s certainly not his body!

Call me an old hippy but I Yusuf / Cat Stevens

This. Plenty of great sets on some of the other stages though.

I'm currently getting down with the youth by checking out the Nova Twins

[dinny_g]

I was criticising Debbie Harry to the other half… then realised she’s only a year younger than my mum

Sorry Blondie - carry on…

[tim]

Call me an old hippy but I Yusuf / Cat Stevens

I enjoyed that too. Cat Stevens was as staple in our house when I was a kid.

[dinny_g]

I hoped Elton would start with Pinball Wizard!!

[Mito Man]

Started off singing relatively well, getting close to Dill Dandin now
It sounds like he’s got a marshmallow in his mouth or his denture isn’t fitted correctly.
