Glastonbury 2020 ... now 2022

[Adam.]

I am now

Got my sleeping arrangements sorted in Pilton, got my car pass to avoid the traffic, started on my Excel planner (the app is absolute dogst now)

The plan will inevitably go astray

Friday clashes are a nightmare

[petemurphy]

my only tip. go see elvana they were highlight of last time

[Bright Halo]

Just turned for a bit of musical entertainment and Billie Eilish is on live.
She certainly can’t sing and is basically crap.
I know I’m old school but surely the basic base requirement is that you can actually sing.

[StevieBee]

Bet I'm older school than you ... but I'm quite enjoying it. Bit different. Like it.

It's all subjective though.

Not really. See Bob Dylan or Ian Dury or Johnny Rotten or any number of others for further information.

You should have watched Foals on the other stage. Absolutely immense.

They really deserve to be headlining. Fantastic live band who really know how to put on a show

[Juanco20]

Sam Fender was outstanding and so was Sigrid

Sam has to be a future headliner

[James6112]

Robert Plant was a bit disappointing ..

[Louis Balfour]

I turned on the television half way through the Crowded House set. Who was the little lad on stage?

Loved Sigrid...never really heard or seen her before but just ace.

Again not familiar with Sam Fender either...has a Springstein E street vibe.

WTF was blossoms lead singer wearing!!

[sociopath]

Only caught the one song by them, but Wet Leg went from "what is this racket" to "that was quite good that"

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss however, went from "great" to "oh more of the same boring stuff as they did when I saw them live"

[marcosgt]

Wet Leg are great, definitely a bit challenging on first listen, but great and the tall lass can really sing, look up the Wet Leg before they were famous video on YT.

Loving Confidence Man on iPlayer right now.

Yeah, Sigrid is great isn’t she?! She been doing this stuff for quite a few years but always looks totally blown away by the reception she gets from the crowd. Always looks like she’s enjoying herself and genuinely happy to be doing what she’s doing. Doesn’t seem too ‘try hard’ either. Jeans, top, gazelles, done.

Why did the Beeb stream it in HD and yet the sound balance sucks donkey dick down a 20' garden hose?

Surprised Billie got to sing in the Bond film. I don't like the way these musicians start talking politics though.

[SaintsPaul]

I have just watched Idles from yesterday. So much energy. Loved it.

That's disappointing; we're having some friends round later so we can watch Macca live on my projector screen and I was planning on using iPlayer as a source, otherwise watch an hour later on BBC HD via my Freeview box.

I am assuming that we'll be able to watch him live at 9:30 on iPlayer?

[SydneyBridge]

He is on bbc1 at 10.30pm, which i thought was live but obviously not...
