Yep

Friday, Coldplay
Saturday, Adele
Sunday, Muse

I saw her in Manchester, I liked that too

Not doing myself any favours here am I?

Ha ha, no, but then, after seeing Ed in Manchester in April, I'm off to Adele at Wembley on Saturday (with the Mrs off course!)

I have seen Ed Sheeran twice, once at Wembley Stadium and more recently at the Hydro in Glasgow, he's not my bag (my girlfriend loves him), but he always puts on a decent show considering it's just him on the stage

Three nights at Wembley Stadium and a Glasto headline slot at his age too

Fair cop

I like some of his stuff but I get excited by watching a band working together and having fun. Its just not the same watching one bloke with a guitar and a sampler. I didnt get Adele for the Sunday evening gig last year though

Think Adele was the Saturday night wasn't she?

You could be right I wont argue except I just didnt think she fitted a big evening slot,

I try not to watch too much Glastonbury when I don't manage to get a ticket as i jyst get in a mood :-( but watched a few things this year. Radiohead were outstanding IMO but I am a big fan so im biased. Foo Fighters were dire for me, dragging every song out and they have a few good songs but they are very middle of the road.

I may get flamed for this but my wife made me watch Katy Perry and I thought dhe was good fun to be honest!

Avoiding ED sheeran as i have an irrational/rational hatred of him, he is a bit of a phoney in my eyes, capable performer but writes rubbish for the cash.

The National were epic!

Watching Chic on the red button, pretty good if you ask me....

He sounds decidedly average so far. Missing the oomph required of a headline act.

It just sounds a mess on TV .

The ginger tosser.

We're listening through a quality soundbar and decent sub and it still sounds muddy and confused.

Some excellent loop station work from Ed

[towser44]

Bloodstream was good at his arena gigs and that was the same. Like that one.

Glasgow for Ed for us - same tour

Adele was the last tour that she did, was quite galling her talking about being scared of big gigs, she still managed to sign herself up for a world tour and Wembley Stadium though!

Wheel barrows full of cash will do that to a person I suppose

enjoy!

Mines through a decent enough amp and surround system too and it sounds flat.

I'm afraid he does nothing for me. I find him very dull.

[craigjm]

Just sounds like a busker with a backing track

[FN2TypeR]

fking hate this song, having heard it six hundred times a day this last few months

[justin220]

Superb from Ed Sheeran

[Bonefish Blues]

You'd think that he could afford a band by now.

I think Katy Perry has a couple of attributes to be good fun with.

Would have paid good money just to see Chic. Absolutely fantastic

Watching it on TV at the moment, proper funky disco!!

I suppose having a suck on her titties would be pretty cool but have you ever seen her without her slap up on? She's a right midden.

Anybody see the banner "Im going balls deep for Katy" or words to that effect

Just thought the same thing. I started watching just to give him the benefit of the doubt but I just can't see the attraction.

[M3ax]

Stand out performances for me were Royal Blood - clearly loving every minute of it, celebrating with a bottle of champagne each, and just smashed it with their set.
And Nile/Chic, pure class. One big party there.
Not getting into Ed. I'm sure he's talented and all that but it's not really working for me. Certainly not gripping to watch like the 2 acts above.
