Surprised not to see one so far?

Radiohead, the most Marmite band ever. I love them & thought they smashed it last night. Royal Blood, brilliant too -once upon a time, my lot rehearsed in the same studios as them & we could often hear them through the walls. They conquered the world, we fell apart. hehe

Anderson Paak is a talent, enjoyed his thing on & off the drums. Caught a bit of the Pretenders, not sure if they were a bit meh or it's all so familiar that it lacks impact now. Looking forward to Warpaint tonight & Songhoy Blues. Liam Gallagher's new stuff I've not heard, so I'll give it a spin, can't be worse than his last try.

The Radiohead set was amazing - I was enthralled for the full 2 and a bit hours they played, incredible. They caught a lot of flak on twitter from people who just wanted to hear them play the Bends and OK Computer though, their later stuff is just as good to my mind - it's not as immediately accessible but the musicianship is astonishing.

Royal Blood were brilliant - I'm still astounded that two just two blokes can make that noise.

Elbow on the Park Stage, again fantastic as usual and did the usual crowd pleasing singalong to one day like this which is always lovely.

Caught Sleaford Mods just before I went to bed. Still don't really get it - but they are compelling in some strange way that I can't work out.

I flicked over to BBC2 to avoid the news ,found Grimshaw presentating,luckily didn't turn over again as Difford and Tillbrook did Up the junction,accompanied by a Kazoo backing band.
Utterly fabulous.

Saw the 'head on iPlayer last night and seeing them live at TRNSMT next week - thought it was a superb set, I like pretty much all their stuff, they know their onions and no mistake. Outstanding, for me at least.

WTF was Katy Perry doing at Glastonbury? curse
I've begging her for ages to come and see me instead.
Brillant set though.

Kris Kristofen was good last night as were Royal Blood who were amazing.
Flaming lips were brilliantly bizarre and Elbow were quite hypnotic,

However I thought Dizee Rascal was ok apart from Bonkers and I didn't really like Lourdes.

I am the other side of the marmite toast that is Radiohead I'm afraid and simply hate the samey dirge which is what I hear.

Enjoyed whatI saw of flamin' lips. New to me but seem a band in need of a better lead singer.

Not striking me as the best line up this year. I shall carry on watching asone usually stumbles on a few gems.

The latter - never got Oasis or the Gallaghers. They're in the same box as Muse as far as I'm concerned.

I wouldn't care if KP wore a raincoat but could she please sing something I've heard before.

She's bonkers but my guilty pleasure.

He was never a genius, he was am amazing front man and superb singer.

However he is currently on stage singing Whats the Story. A combination of age/haircut/microphone not as high up/lack of other Oasis means its not coming off as should. Voice seems a bit off too, not as raw.
