The Glastonbury 2014 thread

[Justin Cyder]

Right let's go then armchair critics.

Metallica were rubbish. (Putting the boot in pre-emptively).

[750turbo]

Just had a look at the full line up.

I must be really getting old, as the only act I would spend any money on there is Robert Plant, I struggle to see what the attraction of 180,000 people in a possible mud bath is.

Anyway - If you are there - Enjoy yourself!

[Fantuzzi]

Lana Del Rey will either be amazing or terrible. Her new stuff is ace so I am really looking forward to her set on Saturday.

Kirk Hammett will leave his wah wah on by accident for all of his solos.

St Vincent will be good but then do something a bit artsy and make a tit of herself like she did on Jools Holland.

The Kasabian will try there best to pretend to be proper moody rockstars in interviews.

Lilly Allen will be the talentless tt she has always been, but this time with songs that are actually really really bad. I mean really bad.

Jack White will be really good live as usual. But would be better on vinyl.

I'm too old to want to be part of a big crowd, though as I have never liked crowds that doesn't say anything about how old I am.

Best kind of gigs AFAIAC are pub gigs, and I've been to some crackers.

[tobinen]

Plenty of friends have gone (I've never been) and they say they rarely bother with the big stages. Lots of decent action to be had in the smaller tents apparently. Must go one year before I am too old.

Haim should be good, on BBC3 at 8. Got their album and I was pleasantly surprised, there isn't a bad song on there

[Gun]

I'm looking forward to the Sunday line-up; Public Service Broadcasting, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Black Keys then Massive Attack on one after another, that's my afternoon sorted!

[Juanco20]

I'd like to retract my earlier statement. They're not great live are they. Plus the gurning is very off putting

[muckymotor]

I've heard Haim live before, hence I'm watching Blondie on BBC4

[chibbard]

Only one to watch for me was Rudimental....how people bring themselves to pay 200 quid a ticket for most of the tosh at Glastonbury is mind boggling!!!!

[fatboy69]

Blondie. Awesome set. Ms Harry shows how it should be done.

They're atrocious, they'll also pop up all over the place during the weekend for some reason.

[tobinen]

Was the HAIM bass player on something? Surely not!

[tobinen]

Lily Allen has some rather enticing upper thighs

[Fantuzzi]

I knew Haim weren't up to much from listening to them last time, but they were better than I expected, last time the singer decided that diction was not something she should worry about incorporating into her singing.

Missed Blondie on bbc4, tits. And they have Mark Radcliffe has opposed to the colossal anuses that are on bbc3.

The Spanish Guitar pair are rather boring on bbc4, its like being on hold.

Rodrigo & Gabriela, who ever they might be, are bloody brilliant!

Usually only watch 'top acts' but they are superb.

[Puggit]

Caught Haim live this afternoon, really enjoyed that. As some say, they are quite reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac in their own way.

Debbie Harry was ok.

I'm just not getting Paolo Nuttini (cos I'm a bloke?).

Want to see the Kaiser Chiefs...

They were awful live, the gurning bass player was very very odd.
