The Glastonbury TV Thread

My 8 yr old (and me) are looking forward to Jessie Ware and Confidence Man.

Hopefully Idles will do the stick song so I can show that to her as well 🤭

currently enjoying the mary wallopers on park stage.

I've seen them live twice and both times they were great fun.

How are Nothing But Thieves doing a late-afternoon slot on The Other Stage on Sunday. They're better than the 3 that follow them!

I'm with sadex greatly enjoying the Mary Wallopers!

Heilung at West Holts later, then back to Park to finish with Fontaines.

5 posts in and still no band I recognise

Shuffles off to GQT

will also try to find the lambrini girls

thought id struck gold when i saw i could start the woodsies stage stream from the start but for some reason it started at 2, lambrini girls were on at 12.45.  if anyone finds a stream for me anywhere shout up please 🙂

Think Stornoway are on at four today - will catch up on them and the Mary Wallopers later. 🙂

Looking forward to these 

LCD sound system, IDLES, Fontaines DC, Jungle, that’s for tonight on the stages and I’d like to hear/see Amelie lens (dj) but doubt her set will be on radio

Will Fontaines set be on TV? Only band I'm really fussed about seeing today. Away for the rest of the weekend so won't see much this year.

Idles......fontaines DC.....PJ harvey

How's that cave working out for you? 😉

Currently watching Dexys murdering Dexys Midnight Runners.
Fun fact. I was in a gym in Brighton once where Kevin Roland was on the rowing machine near me so yeah, there's that.

PJ Harvey. I love you Polly, but lighten up a little.
A bit of banter with the crowd maybe? 😐
She's gone a bit too much of a forest spirit warbler for me these days.

Hopefully I'll have a more positive outlook on proceedings later 😂

Will Fontaines set be on TV?

They're closing on Park so yeah.

Erm, very much enjoying Anne-Marie..

such a good crowd interaction going on..

Want to catch some of these sets tonight, haven't checked out tomorrow

With the honourable exception of Arlo parks and Anne-Marie the bits I've caught have been fairly dire so far and the line up isn't inspiring me to do anything other than drop in and out.

Just turned on BBC 4 coverage.... Paul Heaton..... diabolical.

Is it legal for them to shoot the people with flags yet?

The lady doing the signing on the Red button stuff is totally awesome 😂

She's doing all the instruments. Very good bugle impression on Pj Harvey's set.

I've enjoyed the Mary Wallopers but I knew I would. Didn't know Confidence Man but happened across the end of their set. If you'd said Australian electronic dance music duo-quartet I'd have skipped over but that was a lot of fun. Will be watching the rest of it some other time. Watched bits of Vaccines, Paul Heaton (the songs are still good)

Just now on for LCD Soundsystem, and then Idles later. The family are all out and I've told them they must be back for that, not to see it (although daughter wants to) but because otherwise the dog and me will be circle pitting and the living room may not survive.

iPlayer is excellent for this - it'll have highlights, a lot of full sets, and on the day live coverage of 4 or 5 stages with the facility to 'watch from start' which helpfully has the actual time on the scroll bar so with a copy of the schedule like https://www.timeout.com/uk/news/the-full-glastonbury-2024-line-up-and-stage-times-you-need-to-know-062724 you can ffwd to see what you want.

@tojv,

I went to see Idles in Munich earlier on the year, I'm 55 and couldn't believe how gentle the 'circle pitting' (whatever happened to moshpit or slam?) was. Your living room will be OK. No sign of toxic masculinity at all.

Your living room will be OK.

Sorry, not TV coverage related. I'll go to the disproportionately cross thread

That was Munich. The Guildford front room moshpit is legendary (mainly because I'll be in socks, the floor is slippy and I'm not overly steady on my feet)

LCD sound system, Jungle,

Ftfy.😊

Making my excuses for Paul Heaton…..I thought the sound was off. Both he and Rianne didn’t sound as good as normal.

Missus was there and said she enjoyed it. And I’ve seen Rianne a fair bit both with and without Paul, normally excellent.

Heilung are……….. something. 🍄

LCD sound system. Great stuff! Chuffing loved that...

Yep, LCD were pretty epic.

LCD were superb!

Just flicking through and put Dexy’s (without the Midnight Runners) on and Mrs Binners commented “Jesus! It’s like one of those dodgy pubs you walk past at 3 o clock on a Wednesday afternoon and some old pisshead is murdering something on the karaoke”

😂

Bit behind on LCD Soundsystem, just finishing now but yes, it's brilliant

Give me an excuse to post this again which i'd posted in the fantastic endings thread.

A very biased and personal opinion probably because I'm old and set in my ways but is Glastonbury the most pretentious festival ever?
The artists are oersonal preference obviously but the hype around it does my head in. I know I don't have to watch it but I kind of enjoy getting wound up by it in a perverse way...

I went to see Idles in Munich earlier on the year, I’m 55 and couldn’t believe how gentle the ‘circle pitting’ (whatever happened to moshpit or slam?) was. Your living room will be OK. No sign of toxic masculinity at all.

I saw them at their pre-Glastonbury gig 2 years ago and they were great, and as you say, the 'pit' was really well mannered given how aggressive it could look from the outside.

My 14yr old sad it’s full of old people being watched by old people . Sounds about right really

👆 Well, except for that it's all ages across the board watching all ages across the board, but yeah.

Fairly play to the LCD Soundsystem dummer. From the bits I've seen, he's got through a bottle of champagne and a few tinnies during their set 👊

I think to a 14 year old, anyone much over 20 is sad and old.

Flicking for next idea until Idles, and someone mentioned Heilung.

The short bio said experimental folk music based on runic texts and inscriptions. I said I'll give it a go.

WTAF?

Is it legal for them to shoot the people with flags yet?

Someone should be wandering through the crowd having at their stupid flagpoles with a pair of boltcroppers. They're a bunch of utter bellends.

Heilung are……….. something. 🍄

Glastonbury at its finest!

Yeah, Heilung. That was a thing.

Quite liked it.

I’m sure Nanny Ogg would approve.

My 14yr old sad it’s full of old people being watched by old people . Sounds about right really

yeah that Olivia Dean - just old and sad

My 18 and 20 yr olds are not feeling the old sad vibe after Olivia and 17 (though the 20 yr old is a bit of a K-pop fan)

im hearing on the grapevine theres going to be a surprise at the end of Idles set.  Idle gossip maybe?  IGMC......

Amateur. Heiling drummer drank the blood of seven virgins and a crow before even going on stage.

You wouldn't tell him if he wasn't keeping time would you.

At the risk of being the moaning stw music bore.....just not sure an act reliant on a load of dancers and clearly lip syncing is what headlining the Pyramid should be about.....and I quite like Dua Lipa as it goes.

I think we are a decade or so past that being a concern at Glastonbury.

She's great, putting on a good show. It's exactly what Glastonbury should be.

...I'm on to Idles. Never really got them before, but really really enjoying this. Did their guitarist just lose his guitar in the crowd? 🤣
