Chemical brothers absolutely awesome again!
Over on the killers Saturday night entertainment show it’s gone a bit Vegas but f@&k it it’s great!
brilliant!
I'm kind of embarrassed to admit I'm still a massive Smiths fan, given Morrissey's descent into being the worlds first vegan gammon, but the songs and guitaring still stand up!
Killers set was brilliant... Must have been incredible for both them and the crowd.
I remember last the time they played the pyramid stage and I thought the sound was a bit lacking (could have just been the TV production) - Def not the case this time!!
Hot Chip - Sabotage !

I ain’t a fan of the killers, and maybe it’s a location situation but he has that huge crowd in the palm of his hand and I truly wish I was there with my daughter right now!
I really don't like the Killers. But my brother made me go and watch them when they headlined T in the Park in 2007 and it was absolutely magical. Every so often I watch the video Exitlude/redoing the back half of When You Were Young and it still gets me, and that was like 12 years ago. I hate them for it but it's probably my best festival moment.
(though I will deny it if anyone ever asks. Definitely not as good as the Foos at Reading man, or System of a Down in a lightning storm at Donington, or firewalking during the riots at Leeds...)
'Killers set was brilliant… Must have been incredible for both them and the crowd.' Too right. Chemical Bros looked on top form from the glimpses I've seen/ heard.
Hot Chip Sabotage made up for them not doing Dancing in the Dark 😂
Gutted I’m not there, but what a choice to make, Killers, Hot Chip, Chemical Brothers or the Wu
You must be as old as Hawkwind! 😆
Hurry on Sundown (actually I've never seen Hawkwind but did see the Pink Fairies at Canterbury Tech refectory when I was a student there).
I had no intention of watching "Glasto" on the telly-box but accidentally ended up watching quite a bit. Loads of surprises for me - Janet Jackson quite entertaining and Neneh Cherry pretty dull, for instance. It's all very slick with lots of well-rehearsed dancers and session musician backing though. A long way from Stacia, or even Bez.
Yesterday I turned on the tellybox (not a common activity for me) and Low were playing. It was wonderful, for one song, then they cut to something else and I switched the tellybox off again.
edit: the whole set is on the iplayer. sweet.
I watched Fontaines DC and Mattiel on the iPlayer last night. Both very strong sets. Gonna check out Interpol and Sharon Van Etten later. Radio 6 have been playing her stuff for a while and if anyone saw The OA on Netflix, you might recognise her as she played Rachel.
Chemical Brothers on loud now thanks to iPlayer.
🕺🏽
Saw them trying out that set at eden on fri night. Was proper good.
Wow. All the closing acts last night were amazing. And still The Cure to come…
Pleased to have discovered the talents of Georgia on Fridays coverage. Turns out she's one of Leftfields daughters. A one woman band and i have now downloaded some of her stuff and will look out for her live.
Not sure what my fav set has been so far?...too many to choose a favourite from.......Jon Hopkins.....Chem Bros......Hot Chip......Idles.......Fontaines DC, at the moment id have to say Kate Tempests set from last night is up there as it kept me transfixed throughout - she's a bloody genius.
Worst set i've had the misfortune to hear?, that has to go to George Ezra, just what the **** is the point of his anodyne ****ing drivel......and his voice?....ARGHHHHHHHHH.......... just make it ****ing stop....i'll admit to anything.....for the love of god just shut the **** up.
Thought Tame Impala were excellent
Anyone else think Kylie is miming?
In her interview she said “i’m shitting myself”
🤩
Weird- sounded like she was for the first few but then definitely live

Yep. My three year old agrees with you as well. She particularly liked elephant. She says we'll go and watch them tomorrow, she'll sing the song and I'll wave the flag 😎
Nice one somafunk you are doing it properly. Weljel.👍😉
Anyway Kate Tempest for pm imo.
She is amazing. Jon Hopkins has upped his game and I totally agree about mr Ezra. I’m sure his mother loves him.
Anyone else think Kylie is miming?
I think the sound production have screwed up + her mike doesn’t appear to be right. Result was it sounded hashed. Got better as it went along though
Miley Cyrus was lucky not have some buggers eye out! 😳 she’s, erm... moved on a bit since my daughters were watching her as Hannah Montana, hasn’t she? She can sing though. Way better than Kylie.
Anyone else having problems with getting the BBCred button menus up on their Skybox. I really wanted to watch Mavis Staples but it’s not having any of it
Miley’s dad looks in good nick...
The whole Black Mirror becomes reality thing is confusing.

Yeah it’s useless this year. I’ve been using iPlayer.
Jeff Goldblum doing Jazz piano, perfect sunny sunday evening...

This.
Red buttons been given the red flag I reckon.
Jeff... now that’s another artist I wanted to see.
I’ve still got four artists on my list to catch up with 👍👍
Got to love the variety.
Kamasi Washington on West Holts.....unbelievably good. Looking forward to Janelle Monae on the same stage shortly.
stab vest is a banksy piece
Chemical Brothers set especially MAH is my Sunday night wind down.....
Sharon Van Etten is badass. Be still my beating heart 😊
Flippin' eck, Robert Smith isn't ageing well...mind you it was 1982 since I last saw them playing live
Aah the Van Etten, I would challenge anyone alive to listen to her first album "Epic" and not be absolutely blown off their chair by it!
He is 60 and those are rock n roll years!
Not wrong with his voice though
My god, The Cure are fantastic. The band is flawless and his voice is perfect
The bass player is trying too hard though.

Looks like a lot of fun on the west holts. Anyway see that billie illish girl, she's only 17 I think got the whole world in her palm
I watched them headline in 90. Where did the last 29 years go!
My god, The Cure are fantastic. The band is flawless and his voice is perfect
I loved the music from this era, the Disintegration album, and some of the more obscure stuff (Carnage Visors, anyone) and I have to agree the playing is flawless, but if you aren't a fan it has to be quite a tough listen.
The bass player is trying too hard though.
He's always been a show off, but see that flag draped over his amp.....that gets him off anything.
The Cure are absolutely bloody brilliant!!!
I’ve just sussed out that I watched the Cure headline Glastonbury 29 years ago, and I now feel as old as Robert Smith looks
Robert Smith looks like a junky version of Herman Munster.... but they sound good for their age!
