Glastonbury highlights

[Bridge hibs]

Been catching up with some highlights on tv, Kasabian were class as was Paul Heaton ably supported by the brilliant Glaswegian singer Rianne Downey

[Moulin Yarns]

Enjoyed the Sugababes, I know! Nitin Sawney was my highlight so far of what I've watched.

[Pretty Boy]

Paul Heaton was great, he's about the nicest man in music into the bargain. I saw a few people moaning about Rianne Downey but most of the complaints seemed to boil down to 'she's not Jacqui Abbott'.

I wasn't sure about Dua Lipa headlining. She's not my thing so I was never likely to be blown away but her whole set seemed more designed for a TV audience rather than people actually attending. I think it might have worked better in an arena rather than a field.

It was like a 2 hour MTV video. Definitely not my thing.

I'm looking forward to seeing The National on The Other Stage tonight.

[Dmas]

Coldplay last night was incredible must have been something actually being there quite enjoyed the streets too saw a couple songs from dexys as well enjoyed those

Just watched a bit of Dexys this morning, Rowland has such a unique and brilliant voice

Looking forward to James tonight

[Hiber-nation]

My days as an avid Glasto viewer have long gone but I might see if I can catch Squeeze and Keane on the iPlayer some time.

[Jim44]

I happened to see Cyndi Lauper and yesterday. I thought she was awful.

[grunt]

Looking forward to catching up with the Lankum set.

[Moulin Yarns]

I happened to see Cyndi Lauper and yesterday. I thought she was awful.

I heard that there were issues with the sound for most of her set. Only bit I saw was I Drove All Night which was fine.

[J-C]

Kevin Rowland from Dexys was singing in keys and hitting notes that don't actually exist in the musical world he was that bad, and jeezo he looks like death warmed up, yea I know he's 70 but just looks ridiculous now and sounds it.

Too-rye-ay used to be one of my favourite albums but I couldn't watch that, painful.

[MWHIBBIES]

Tried to get tickets but it's not a great lineup this year. Some brilliant stuff on the smaller stages but the big stuff not really my cup of tea.

Camilla Cabello has to be the worst this year, one of worst sets I've seen from anyone ever.

Will try again next year. Gotta get in one year.

[Sloop67]

Idles ,Fontaines dc , PJ Harvey , Paul Heaton , The Mary Wallopers

[MountcastleHibs]

I’m not a massive fan of Coldplay, but they know how to put on a show. Must’ve been incredible to have been there last night. And bringing Michael J Fox on stage and singing Fix You got me.

Enjoyed Paul Heaton’s set - Rianne Downey is brilliant. Kasabian looked brilliant - they get a lot of stick for keeping on going without Tom as front man but Serge is a superb front man.

Watched Keane too - they’re sounding as good as they ever have. Shania Twain may look good but she didn’t sound overly brilliant.

Must confess I have never heard of SZA so might tune in just to see what she’s about. Otherwise I’m not sure who I’ll turn in to tonight.

[bringbackbenny]

Idles x 10, P J Harvey, Dexys

[patch1875]

LCD Soundsystem were excellent seeing them tomorrow night.

Kasabian and Idles were superb.

[bod]

Only watched Paul heaton ,Coldplay & James so far .hopefully everyone’s avaliable via the bbc red button so I can look later

[Onceinawhile]

I like Serge, he brings a lot of radge energy to Kasabian, although I must admit to not really seeing much of them before Serge gave Tom the boot

Serge's goal at soccer aid and his effort on soccer am are legendary. He's some lad.

Also, they a gave tom the boot cause he's a wife beating p.o.s.

They are playing the Corn Exchange on Wednesday and there’s still tickets available if anyone fancies it

**** no chance I can make it, will most def catch them sometime 👍

[Frazerbob]

Crazy that there’s still tickets available. They’ll fill the Hydro later this year.

[Onceinawhile]

Their new stuff isn't exactly up there for me.

Tried watching the streets there. It was awful.

Wtf is up with Mike skinner these days?!?

[overdrive]

Crazy that there’s still tickets available. They’ll fill the Hydro later this year.

They only announced it a couple of weeks ago to be fair. Seems a bit odd as they had a gig scheduled in Greece that day which got cancelled recently “due to a scheduling conflict”.

[Moulin Yarns]

Sitting in the garden listening to the View headlining Heartland Festival, Idle wild last night. Plus skerryvore and Tide Lines.

[Dmas]

They are playing the Corn Exchange on Wednesday and there’s still tickets available if anyone fancies it

Saw them in the corn exchange after their first album release, one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to

[Stairway 2 7]

They were completely right to boot Tom regardless if his wife is back with him, he was a **** bag. Unfortunately they were ten times the band with him. Serge sings it so soft whilst Tom snarled through it, he was some front man. Unfortunately with band it's the lead singers voice when you hear when you think of the songs, if they replace him it sounds like a cover band.

[babahibs]

LCD Soundsystem were excellent seeing them tomorrow night.

Kasabian and Idles were superb.

I'm seeing Lcd Soundsystem tomorrow, have you seen them before?

Not seen any Glastonbury yet, I'll catch some during the week.

I agree that they were right to bin Tom. I also think Tom deserves a 2nd chance. He ****ed up and was punished. His now wife can forgive him therefore who am I to hold a grudge. Having seen both Kasabian without Tom and Tom with his new band, I actually preferred the Serge led Kasabian gigs. I also enjoyed Tom at the O2, despite the very small crowd. He performed like he was playing Wembley not ti a couple of hundred lol

[CropleyWasGod]

Still wading through all the acts on the iPlayer.

Highlights so far:-

Mary Wallopers
Rowland's trousers :greengrin
Heilung (meditate or take drugs first)
Seasick Steve, perfect for Sunday afternoon
2 of the Housemartins together again
Steel Pulse taking me back to my first flirt with reggae
Barry Can't Swim (Edinburgh guy)
Jamie XX (ideal for Sunday night come-down)

Glasto always throws up someone new for me. This year, my favourite so far has been the Black Pumas.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Saw them in the corn exchange after their first album release, one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to

I was at the Corn Ex for their second album tour. Was wild. Kind of fell out of love with their later stuff but still listen to the first album.

[Moulin Yarns]

Been watching Janelle Monáe tonight, what an energy?!!! Now watching Noname, not a fan of rap but pretty good.

[Aldo]

I’m not sure how to word this correctly but Coldplay were the only proper headliners.

Dua Lipa and SZA are very talented young ladies but for me are not headliners. Huge stars in their own right and having two daughters I’ve listened to a fair bit of both. Think the organisers hit it wrong, especially on Sunday.

Paul Heaton and Rannie Downes
Sugababes
Bloc Party
Vaccines

Were all excellent but Coldplay stole the show with an amazing show.

I did think Little Simz was superb too

I saw James at my only trip to Glasto in 1992. Thirty two years ago! Age is a funny old thing. I think they were substituted in for a stropped up Morrissey but my memory is hazy.

[patch1875]

I'm seeing Lcd Soundsystem tomorrow, have you seen them before?

Not seen any Glastonbury yet, I'll catch some during the week.

Seen them once before. What did you think? Thought it was an amazing gig fantastic atmosphere at the Barrowlands.

[babahibs]

They're doing 2 nights at Barrowlands, I'm on my way through to Glasgow just now for tonights one.
This'll be the 7th time I've seen them, I think, 3rd at Barrowlands ,which is always rocking.
First saw them 20 years ago at The Venue.

The Venue, much missed.

I have hazy memories of seeing Hot Chip there in 2005ish and I'm sure LCD Soundsystem were there around the same time (might even have been the same night).

Can remember the closing night like it was yesterday. Fred Deakin (then of Lemon Jelly fame and a well kent face on the Edinburgh club night scene) played the last night and invited a few of us as guests (we would have been there anyway). A group of about 30-40 were still sitting in about 10am the next morning and no one wanted to leave as they knew that was it.

Hard to imagine anywhere in Edinburgh will ever compare again. As the graffiti said 'the best, RIP'.

He did a fab show at the Fringe last year, and of course his Edinburgh experiences were a big part of that. It's back this year, for 8 nights only.

[Sloop67]

Watched James set yesterday, flawless as always, Tim has some energy for a 64 year old 😲
James were superb, their set from The Isle of White festival a few years back is on Sky Arts it's a great watch too

[Moulin Yarns]

Tonight I watched paloma faith and shania twain. Both worth watching, crowd reaction was brilliant. Saw paloma at the corn exchange years ago, still got it. Shania, for having voice problems was still giving it laldy. Good on them both.

[Hibbyradge]

I just watched Coldplay.

Not my favourite band by a million miles, but wow, that was a brilliant show.

[Northernhibee]

Kevin Rowland from Dexys was singing in keys and hitting notes that don't actually exist in the musical world he was that bad, and jeezo he looks like death warmed up, yea I know he's 70 but just looks ridiculous now and sounds it.

I seen them back in 2013 and they were awful back then.

[Northernhibee]

I just watched Coldplay.

Not my favourite band by a million miles, but wow, that was a brilliant show.

I seen them in 2009 at Hampden- I was on a training course and was staying overnight. This is when you could get gig tickets on eBay and if you looked the day before a lot of arena and stadium shows had impossibly cheap tickets.

Got a ticket as the only bidder - 99p, and Jay-Z and White Lies supported. Coldplay are an absolutely brilliant live band, not my thing on record but they know how to put on a show.

[babahibs]

Seen them once before. What did you think? Thought it was an amazing gig fantastic atmosphere at the Barrowlands.

Gig last night was superb, they just get better I think, Barrowlands is such a great venue on nights like that.

Feeling kinda rough today though.

The one I was at was Hot Chip supporting Lcd Soundystem, 2004 I think, was absolutely rammed.

I started going to The Venue in 1987, when I turned 18, went to few gig's and a couple of acid house all nighters, then Pure started and that was it, was a regular at Pure, Tribal Function and Wave for far too many years to be healthy.

I wasn't at the final night, I was at the final Pure the night before, amazing night, the Hartnoll brothers played, carnage, the after parties didn't finish till Monday morning.

Indeed, the best RIP.

[Jack]

That's my youngest (24) just back and he had a great time although he says the line up didn't impress him much 😉

Luxury coach down and back, a private camp site with its own food places (free) and bar AND proper toilets and showers AND he was paid handsomely he tells me!

He was working the punter bars while his partner did the VIP bar, hobb nobbing with the celebs.

No [naughty word] danger he'd go as a punter he tells me!

[blackpoolhibs]

I just watched Coldplay.

Not my favourite band by a million miles, but wow, that was a brilliant show.

Great show and some great songs, love most of their stuff, but he just cant sing in tune. :greengrin

[matty_f]

Watched James set yesterday, flawless as always, Tim has some energy for a 64 year old 😲

I watched it yesterday as well, outstanding. They played there after Laid had come out, and I remember sitting up in my room to watch the highlights to tape them (I would have been about 14 I reckon). I'm sure it was on ITV at that time, and they showed Out to Get You and Jam J (from the Wah Wah album).

I must have watched that tape 100 times. Yesterday, when the opening notes of Out to Get You played it honestly took me back 30+ years, I actually got a bit emotional at it.

Other highlights were LCD Soundsystem and Kasabian, who were incredible.

Coldplay stole the show though, I know they're not a cool band to like but there was only one headline act the whole weekend and it was them, miles ahead of anyone else and genuinely up there with one of the best headline sets that Glastonbury has ever seen.

[Frazerbob]

James are one of the best live bands around. The way they've evolved over the last 10 years is incredible. Think there's about 12 of them on stage these days, including 2 full drum kits. To be producing new music as regularly as they are and to such a high standard after what, 40 years (?) is amazing. Their latest album is superb and the recent gig at the Hydro was probably my favorite of the 15 or so times I've seen them. You never have any clue of the setlist they're going to play and often even the band don't.

[overdrive]

She’s had a bit of work done, Alanis Morissette is still one fine looking women. Quite enjoyed her set.

[Wembley67]

Never been a Lewis Capaldi fan music wise but it's brilliant seeing him back up on stage. Quite inspirational really 💪

Biffy Clyro nailing it. Loved the Brian Wilson tribute, nice moment.

[marinello59]

Biffy Clyro nailing it. Loved the Brian Wilson tribute, nice moment.

[marinello59]

Self Esteem. Outstanding.

Franz Ferdinand ripping it up. Great to see some actual rock music. Doubt that much else over the weekend will interest me 😁

[Wembley67]

Not listened much to Biffy Clyro but thought they were fab. Killie boys I think? Thoroughly enjoyed their set.

I loved the first 3 albums too. Saw them at Aberdeen Music Hall just after they released Infinity Land. Was ****ing mental. Their sound has changed but one of those bands who have remained consistently good throughout their career imo.

[Mon Dieu4]

Biffy are always great, one of the most consistent bands out there

Only a few things left I'm really interested in, will watch Rod, don't think Neil Young is being televised and can't wait to see the Prodigy,

don't like it when they put dance music on at the end of a Festival though, everyone has normally already shot their bolt by then, get them on the first couple of days, I love the Chemical Brothers but they once had them on as the closing act at T in the Park on a Sunday and I was a broken man by then

Suppose Glastonbury is a different flavour to 2002 T anyway :faf:

[overdrive]

Biffy was awesome but I’m a big fan of them anyway.

How absolutely ****** is Matt Healy of the 1975 btw? Initially thought he was way worse than he is then realised he was on some sort of travelator. Nonetheless he’s absolutely out of his face on something.

His pish about being the best songwriter of his generation and being a poet didn’t seem to go down well either.

I commented on some Lad Bible article on Facebook about their set being **** and commented about the state he was in and I’ve just got a barrage of abuse from their uber fans that I’m missing the point of him that he is always sober and he acts like he’s in that state as some sort of character development work and that I must be some sort of moron for not knowing that.

Lost on me. The shakes his hand seemed to be making would suggest otherwise but hey ho, I’m a moron. Thought they were crap. The worst thing I’ve watched by far on the Glastonbury coverage and I watched the woman that’s called something like Calmac Ferry

I’m actually enjoying getting into drunken Facebook wars with 1975 fans. Some guy in his 20s retorted to me about my receding hairline. I’m in my 40s and with the exception of a widows peak I had but no longer do, my hairline is the same as it was when I was in my teens. This guy is peak Bobby Charlton :faf:

I don’t understand the love for The 1975. But like others, I’m probably not their target audience. Dreadful imo and a really poor Glastonbury headliner.

His bit about being the best songwriter of his generation was a dig at Noel Gallagher who he has a bit of beef with because NG called them out for what they are. Pish.

[BILLYHIBS]

Never understood the love for the 1975 sound like an average boring jazz funk band from 1975 that I wouldn’t give a second listen to

Lead singer has zero presence and charisma but his mother loves him 😀

Switched off after three numbers watched Biffy instead

Zero albums in my collection

[Sylar]

I was actually in disbelief they were headlining over Biffy. Stinking decision.

[Sylar]

My daughter played these 1st 3 to death. Not for me, but Puzzle is in my all time top 10. Big shout out to their soundtrack album Balance, Not Symmetry....surprisingly brilliant.

I do understand, they're not for everyone and they definitely polished and refined their sound from Puzzle onward. Puzzle is hard to top, but Only Revolutions equally great!

[Pretty Boy]

I do understand, they're not for everyone and they definitely polished and refined their sound from Puzzle onward. Puzzle is hard to top, but Only Revolutions equally great!

I'm sure I remember Simon Neil saying years ago that their first 3 albums were all about critical acclaim, after that they realized they had to sound more mainstream to be more commercially successful.

[Hiber-nation]

I do understand, they're not for everyone and they definitely polished and refined their sound from Puzzle onward. Puzzle is hard to top, but Only Revolutions equally great!

I loved Glitter And Trauma and the obvious ones on Blackened Sky but I felt they were just trying too hard to be unpredictable on the first 3. I usually go off bands once they become more "commercial" but Puzzle got the balance just right. I felt they were a bit Biffy by numbers on Opposites and most of Ellipsis but they've bounced back and I'm more comfortable with their "poppier" numbers.

The 1975 always remind me of the songs you hear at a kids disco on holiday. It's just bland pop rock by numbers. For people who find Coldplay a bit too out there.

Prefer Coldplay they have lots of bangers that this old dude can instantly recall Yellow Clocks Fix You etc and a charismatic front man cannot think of one 1975 song

Matty tries to be edgy but he’s not

Might be an age thing ?

[Mr Grieves]

Enjoyed the osees and franz Ferdinand but not much else

[Pretty Boy]

He supports Reform!!🙄

Hardly a shock.

An rich 80 year old southerner who used to back the Tories lurching further right in his dotage. It would be more of a surprise if he wasn't a Farage fanboy.

I think a lot of people think Glastonbury is only the 2 or 3 stages the BBC show. It's a huge arts festival; the site covers 1000+ acres and has over 100 stages. It's diverse because of that; big chunks of it are mainstream and a tick box for suburban ******s who like their 'counterculture' to be in a safe space. There is the old crusties and hippies who have attended every year since day dot, there are the people off their faces dancing to industrial techno at 7am and there is everything in between. To try and pigeon hole 250K people is just daft.

I'm watching John Fogerty right now, he can't carry a tune in a bucket anymore, but I'm enjoying it immensely.

It's not for me. I used to like Paul Simonon's quote when he was asked if the Clash would ever have considered playing it:

'No, I'd have refused. It's a bloody hippy business. I know it's a nice family day out but I want nothing to do with family days out with rock stars. Joe (Strummer) used to go but Joe was always a bit of a hippy anyway. Do I still hate hippies? Well, I don't hate them but I prefer not to socialise with them. I know it's daft to still have these thoughts so many years later but you have to remember we grew up in a different generation.'

I was well disappointed in him when he succumbed years later and agreed to play there with Gorillaz - although he did say it was as a tribute to Strummer ('I had a look up at the stars before we went on and thought 'well Joe, I'm bloody here now!'

It is now. He has some sort of issue with the BBC around 'corporate control' and refused to have his set broadcast but has now backed down. He'll likely be pretty sh*t anyway.

The full full set is definitely being shown live on BBC2 now, as well as broadcast on Radio 2. Neil Young has confirmed that an agreement has been reached.

I wasn't even aware there had been issues tbh, although iirc when his full set wasn't shown a few years back it was at his insistence and it seems that has been at least part of the sticking point this time as well, but glad there seems to have been a rare outbreak of common sense.

No problem with a lot of the music (and I gather Neil Young fought the good fight for rock'n'roll in incomparable style last night) but the event is insufferably smug.

A wee bit about the misfits of Glastonbury.

:greengrin Yep, that must be it. I couldn't possibly have formed that opinion by myself.

I actually voted remain incidentally, but the whinging after the vote was worse than after the Scottish independence referendum and it did my head in. I remember laughing at the absurdity of Damon Albarn saying 'Democracy has failed us' when Blur played Glastonbury in 2016.

[Pretty Boy]

He's obviously a cock but I don't think he's been too bad so far. His voice is shot but that's been the case since about 1997. He's trying to put on a show and he's a bit like a no bad karaoke singer hamming up Rod Stewart. The OTT backing band, singers and production is obviously all to hide his voice and it's working to an extent.

[Sylar]

Absolutely cackling at the sudden clamouring to decry Bob Vylan from the organisers. You surely knew who the **** you were booking when you reached out to their management pre-festival. I’ve seen them live twice and they’re incendiary across lots of social and cultural issues: unashamedly and explicitly so.

Not going to enter into debate on this thread about the political merits or problems with them (or Kneecap), but if you book acts like that, you get exactly what you expect. Don’t pretend or act surprised.

I’m just glad they aren’t wearing Hibs strips. The entire Celtic support should be cringing. :greengrin

Got my 7 year old jumping about mad excited because Olivia Rodrigo is on soon.

Quite looking forward to it myself tbh.

Engages old man mode.

Who? :greengrin

Your old friend may well have remained racist despite finding black women attractive and wanting one for a wife. The two things aren’t mutually exclusive.

The most racist guy I know is married to a Thai.

The latest one to come off the Disney talent production line🤣

Just watched Sam Ryder's interview there. He seems like the nicest man in the world.

[He's here!]

He was a poser communist while it was trendy in the mid 60s. Supported Powell, Thatcher, Boris Johnson and now Farage.

Some people can change over time. Rod, a disgrace to his father's memory btw, apparently isn't one of them.

Who was his dad?

I must say all this racist Rod stuff is new to me. But then I've never been a fan. I always thought he was regarded as a kind of national treasure/adopted Scot.

Best legends slot I've seen at Glastonbury was Dolly Parton.

I hate him for it. :greengrin

Fair enough. But did he try to join the foreign legion?

I was there for that one - was a bit disappointed by her.

Ray Davies in the sunshine in 2010 was just perfect.

Burning Spear. Superb

Nile Rodgers Chic a Glastonbury institution on now

[silverhibee]

As Roy Harper headlines the acoustic stage tonight, playing as a duo with his genius guitarist son, Nick, I wonder if the BBC will film any of it?

Roy's 84 and doing three farewell gigs, aside from Glastonbury and is a national treasure.

It has been a festival of 80 year olds :greengrin but what it does tell me is that music or plastic surgery keeps them all looking good and gives them a long life.

**** off. :greengrin

If he did, he would've went to the british legion, he was thick as mince.

[Peanut Shaz]

Hes so so good.

Seen him live 3 times. His live shows are fantastic

[Pretty Boy]

Brian Jonestone Massacre as chaotically brilliant as ever.

Missed them in Edinburgh the other night unfortunately.

Seen him twice, he's a genius

So what’s been everyone’s highlight? Biffy Clyro for me with special mention for Self Esteem.

Roy's definitely not botox kind of guy, I'm crediting the music :greengrin and restorative powers of the ganja.

Doechii blew me away, having known nothing about her before, so she’d be mine.
Jarvis and Neil Young two of my favourites anyway and both did great sets.

Really enjoyed them, and although I never really fancied them through the years, I thought Pulp were excellent.

[Hiber-nation]

Give brandi carlile a listen tomorrow. She rocked the Glasgow concert hall last night.

Thanks for the recommendation, she was great and I will be listening to her a lot this week! I actually knew a couple of her songs but had never heard of her.

80 year old, looking every minute of it and sounding even worse, Rod Stewart parading around with his celtic drum.

Chronic.
