Glastonbury 2023

[Speed Badger]

Didn't see a Glastonbury thread yet, anyone there or watching it on the iPlayer? Lots of decent coverage as always from the BBC, they can still do some things ok!

Highlights so far today were Lightning Seeds and Texas. Bit of intrigue around a band call The Churnups on the Pyramid stage at 18:15 today - rumours are it's Dave Grohl, but nobody really knows at the mo.

Texas are always good value. I’m not seeing much else to watch today. I think Arctic Monkeys are bloody awful. Maybe I’m too old for this.

[stuartmmcfc]

Texas were brillant as ever!

[UTH]

Never been. But watching it makes me kind of want to.

[robscot]

Foos?

[SydneyBridge]

The Churnups are 6.15pm, hopefully it will be live on bbc somewhere

[Athlon]

Texas were brilliant, deserved to be higher up the order!

Maisie Peters is pretty good, cheery enough

Looks like red button on BBC1 will be showing most things?

Charlene what’s her name had some good chat with the crowd, quite sweet seeing her emotional at their reception. 24 years since they were last there.

Can't believe 20 odd years since Texas played Glastonbury. They were bloody brilliant earlier!

Lots of photos on twitter of Dave Grohl seen backstage earlier.

I enjoy watching but you couldn’t pay me to be there. Looks like hell on earth.

[SydneyBridge]

Been for a day a couple of times and that was enough for me...

Yes, there’s plenty of it that looks like that to me too.

But then I see a lot of the fun bits and think I should go just once.

Not sure I’ll ever get around to it.

Of course, if I had a Winnebago round the back and one of those areas above the stage, it would be the best thing ever

Go, but take a campervan so you don’t have to slum it or if you’re feeling flush just stay in one of the glamping sites.

I’ve been a couple of times and it’s absolutely unrivalled in terms of a live entertainment venue. So much going on, an amazing atmosphere, good food options, every kind of music you can think of and some you never knew existed.

It is absolutely exhausting though.

Yeah I saw some shots of what £25k gets you, that’d do!

Live on iPlayer, starts in 10. Definitely the Foos. One of my mates made a last minute decision to go this year and I’m now very very jealous.

[towser44]

iPlayer has every stage live and Pyramid is in Ultra High Definition too.

Sang flat as a proverbial though.
