Glastonbury 2025

Loving coverage on I Player so far. Not keen on headline acts on Sunday though?

Lewis Capaldi smashed it bless him, so sad to see him fighting his tourettes and struggling. What a legend.

Had a really lovely afternoon working from home skipping between the feeds.

If you re of a certain age there was quite a lot to enjoy early on. Shed Seven, for example, put in a nice show.

Lorde was good, Myles Smith was great, Inhaler, CMAT, amongst many.

Real life has got in the way now so I ll have to catch up later.

Enjoy.

Just a shame the band weren't exactly in tune.

Why do so many people seem to have a problem with Glastonbury this year?

I ve seen a surprising number of news headlines slagging it off, with headlines claiming it to be a national embarrassment , a disgrace , and numerous others discussing slave labour regarding the people working there, and how most artists have to pay to perform.

I can t remember there being such negative press previously.

No idea.

Confess I’ve not noticed any of that at all.

Gracie Abrams was great.

[Daz68]

Wet Leg set was good.

My daughter (18 yrs old) has seen her so I've just put it on catch up as I've never really heard much of her stuff. She's very good, have tried to tone my appreciation down in case my daughter thinks that she's no longer cool as her dad quite likes her stuff.

Really enjoyed the Alanis Morissette set.
Most of the music I like is 90s and early 00s so very nostalgic.

Well done Lewis, really nice lad, glad he is on top of his issues.

Yes good to see him back from a difficult place two years ago.

I quite like Biffy Clyro, but wouldn't have considered buying tickets to watch them live.

I would now though. Enjoying them more than I expected to

I love Biffy, Simon Neil's vocals are way off though, he's all over the place!

With short sets and fast turnarounds, the monitoring at festivals is often terrible, you can’t hear the band, you can’t hear yourself, and it’s not your crew on the desk. with so many artists using recorded vocal tracks these days, a bit of wobble shows authenticity.

They sound like a tribute act, it's so weird, hopefully it is just the sound as I love them and I feel embarrassed for them. Even the crowd have zero enthusiasm!

Wow, she’s still got it. Put everything into that. What a voice.
And still strangely attractive.

Might try and see her on tour now after that.

I also just realised that Jagged Little Pill was released over 30 years ago! Now I feel old.

I am watching them now on BBC 2, am really enjoying it, never seen them live but remember some of their more famous songs.

I am enjoying it and can’t see what’s wrong with the performance?

I watched live on iPlayer and it was pretty poor, it picked up towards the end but the sound for most of their set was shocking.

A big thumbs up for Lola Young.

Google tells me her Aunt is Julia Donaldson. You wouldn’t suspect that from her lyrics!
