Glastonbury 25

[Malxwal]

Now, obviously some will feel they have to post the typical knee jerk reaction about how it's all nonsense and music was better in their day, blah blah blah. And then there's the Bob Vylan BBC cock up, but that takes us off into a separate political discussion (and moves this into that forum).
However, I know there are some of you out there with a bit of culture about you, so what's been floating your boat so far ?
Personally, Doechii has blown all other headliners away. Wunderhorse a revelation to me, great.

It’s just not my bag , festivals in general aren’t

Love music though , was just in bury st Edmund’s and there was a woman singing and playing the guitar doing some Fleetwood Mac stuff and she was brilliant although my 15yo daughter was less impressed

Raye last night was great. I’m not a fan of her music but what a beautiful person. So full of energy. A delight to watch.
Alanis morisette sounded great. Paul numan was an eye opener with some great heavy guitars.
I like to watch Glastonbury to expand my listening. I saw idols last year, they were an assault on the senses, absolutely brilliant.

One of my regrets was not taking up an offer from a friend about 33 years ago to go with him and sneak through the fence. Didn’t want to break in but think I would have been hooked into being a regular if I had made that first visit.
Mrs wouldn’t entertain the idea even today though

Never been to a festival

Probably should go one day


Settling for re-living my youth with a visit to see oasis in murrayfield

Hence let's just leave out any references to politics.

Gary Numan was far better than I expected (for his age) and my ‘find’ for this year are Wet Leg.

I object to having to listen to a song 20-30 times before I can understand all the words. I think it must have started at about the time that electric organs were introduced into backing groups. Wall of sound? Tinnitus means that syllables lose their edges.

Been to and worked at a lot of festivals over the years but the people that go to Glastonbury just seem like a special breed of self righteous pricks.

Aint that the truth.

Aint that the truth.

As someone rightly pointed out yesterday it’s the anti establishment anti capitalist mindset that seemingly allows them to preach whilst simultaneously spending £ks preaching about morality that gets my goat.

 

[Hawshill]

I like the idea of going to something like Glastonbury but know that I’d regret it, once the lower back/knee pain kicked in and the lack of proper shower/toilets. My live music these days is confined to local theatres and clubs.

If it's your thing, then fine and crack on. On a positive note, the artistes appearing do appeal to all ages, from teens to octogenarians. As for me, I think my aches and pains would dampen my spirit even more than the potential rain and mud, so that's me out.

But these things do give a stage for some of the musicians to spout their political views. As if being able to warble or play a guitar gives them political insights that us mere mortals can't understand so we have to be preached to. I'd rather not actually, whether I agree or not with the views being spouted. Sit at home and watch Question Time for that.

Anyway, it's all on the telly (even Neil Young eventually). You probably get a better view and sound quality and don't have to suffer your other half draped around your shoulders and neck like a tyre about to be doused and set on fire. And the whole concert pauses while you go to the loo. Result!

Thought Lewis Capaldi was good although you could see how nervous he was . Great wee set
Not watched anything else yet

Away to the Ozzy all day gig at Villa Park this week though
Bring on Metallica

 

[Cranborne]

Surprised to see Phil Harding from TimeTeam headlining last night..

 

[The Singing Stalker]

Rod Steward needs to retire. Permanently. Voice is carp.

 

[Jura]

Him and Daltry

 

[Bo Diddley]

Rod Steward needs to retire. Permanently. Voice is carp.

Looks like plenty of folks are enjoying his performance in the sunshine... he's a Legend.
