Loving Amyl & The Sniffers right now
Only thing I've really enjoyed so far.
Doechii set is off to a solid start 👌🏻
Obvious miming and heavy on the auto tune. The kids love her though so she’s obviously doing something right. Came in to watch Neil Young, currently preferring (or just getting mesmerised by the light show) XCX.
Apparently Avon and Somerset police have been asked to look into comments made during Kneecap's performance.
If you care to look at twitter the Israeli Zionist lobby are frothing with rage (nothing new there) at the Bob Vylan/Kneecap sets, quite how they are so upset at Kneecap I don’t know as it wasn’t broadcast, unless they actively sought out/were watching the live tik tok feed.
Let them bring it on, every single pub band/youth will be rallying behind them
Many a good tune played on an old fiddle! (guitar)
Hear me out, just finished James Bond and Charlie CX (?) on the live feed. Is she lip synching? She’s managing to do shout outs to the crowd over her own vocals.
yeah, she’s shit, her brat album is also shit and a tired rehash of every dance music trope from the last 30 years
Amyl, Bob, Wet Leg, Nova Twins, Fat Dog have all been excellent.
I missed Kneecap though … was it cut from the feed?
I didn’t expect it but enjoyed Pulp on the radio whilst cooking (don’t tell anyone about the cooking nor Pulp 🤭)
But all these classical musicians have to show "there's another side to me".
No they don't all have to. But a lot of classical musicians do enjoy playing other stuff too.
I'm watching Charlie Xcx and although I'm an old cynical bugger I can appreciate her mix of backing track and live vocals. But blimey, the spectacle is bland on every metric.
I'd be annoyed at the festival if I was stuck behind a flag though. Fortunately Mrs BigJohn manages to escort me to the 3rd row (next to the bass player) at every festival we've been to. She has this magical property of sliding us through crowds that have been waiting patiently for a couple of hours, and then coming back with beers!
Oh the joy of invisibility as soon as you start drawing your pension!
Pulp were great - I’ve rewatched it for most of the evening. Gutted I didn’t get tickets this year 🙁
Neil is rocking! His voice is unbelievable for 79 and the set is way way tighter than people think - his band is world class too.
Of all the oldies he really still has it.
Watching scissor sisters, and i want a pair of those glossy bib shorts...castelli?
the set is way way tighter than people think -
Those scissor sisters bib shorts are way tighter than people think....😛
Perhaps it's a TT suit
Whilst I can appreciate its not a everyone's cup of tea the Doechii set was fantastic and far more fitting of a headline set that some **cough** Charli **cough**

Shazam was finding both Doechi and Charli sets a bit too easy to match......suspicious.....

Loved that. Probably means I'm an old fart. I didn't know that the guitarist is Willie Nelson's son. Today's Pop Trivia.
Just watching Gary Numan on catch up.
Excellent headbanging for 67.
He's getting his family involved too. First his eldest daughter, Raven. Then his middle daughter, Persia. I'm wondering what his youngest might be called. Sharon maybe? 🤔
I love Bob Vylan
They will be delighted to have been referred to as punk rather than rappers in the headline
How long would it take to arrange a guest spot for GLC to perform "guns don't kill people rappers do"
Surely the BBC could make it easier to find stuff on the iPlayer.

Dear BBC,
I have been appalled by the lack of a usable search by artist function in your Glastonbury coverage. Is this what I pay my license fee for? It's worse than the STW forum search.

Straight in the trash, people from "The North" don't get a look-in, if you had signed off from High Wycombe or Huntingdon there would have been more chance.
I think i’ll catch up on Charli’s set later - enjoyed the Chemical Bros intro and the Sophie rip-off pop that followed, but I needed to go to bed. She’s come a heck of a long way since I saw her supporting Sleigh Bells in Brighton. Surprising really.
Regarding Raye, saw her open the pyramid stage a couple of years back and she was great. So pleased that's she been bumped up the bill.
She's had a mighty struggle with the industry to get where she is today.
Katy J Pearson knocking it out of the Park Stage 😎
Just found the Kneecap set up on iPlayer. No sign of Bob Vylan as yet tho
Not too sure why but I have a soft spot for The Libertines, but I'm often let down by what a shambles they can be. But today, in a not-shambolic way, they're spot on for an it's way too hot last day 2pm slot.
Bob Vylan is not going to be shown. Whilst it’s alright for the IDF to commit genocide it’s not ok to for musicians to threaten them.
Currently watching the Kneecap set off of the iPlayer.
Seems pretty unfiltered compared with what I saw being shown around yesterday.
Crowd looked wild 😎
Another great set.
I'm struggling with the iPlayer.
All I can see is recordings sorted by shit 'categories' I have no interest in - but how do I see complete artist sets? (ie, Neil Young)
It's doing my head in.
Flipped over after Libertines and now dozing and watching through half closed eyes as Black Uhuru follow up on the lazy Sunday vibe perfectly.
Just watching Gary Numan on catch up.

The numan set was good (and his youngest is called echo, btw)
One thing I did note, having been to numerous numan gigs before, he finished with are friends electric. Normally the last talky line he'll do a 'you know this means everything to me' refering to the gigs and the fan base.
For this though, he didn't. Instead he emphasized the line 'i don't think I mean anything to you' in the first talky bit of the song.
I do wonder how many were expecting 80s electronic hits and instead got some goth electro rock and interpretive dance.
I am not sure Neil Young is on the iPlayer…

I think "threaten" is the issue here. I think under BBC guidelines "criticise" is OK "threaten" is not.

That Turnstile set was something else. Have to say, with all the c**p going on at home and abroad, channelling that pent up aggression in the positive way that they do must be a public service!
+1 to Turnstile. Mega set.
CHIC are on. Finally something worth listening to. Wouldn't ever profess to be a fan but after previous performances at Glasto they seem to embody a full repertoire, huge entertainment value, and a propet polished stage performance few others can match. Love it
To echo others, I enjoyed Turnstile, despite knowing almost nothing about or of them. It was really ****ing good. I can’t really listen to hardcore but, experiencing or watching it live is cracking.
I am also enjoying Snow Patrol. 😂

Accidentally caught some of Celeste. Dear god what a racket.
True Professionals, proper entertainment.
Nile is the coolest guy on the planet.
