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 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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

Not a fan of most of Glastonbury, more of a Download fan.

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 ?

Enjoyed the osees and franz Ferdinand but not much else

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.

'Glasto' always strikes me a self-satisfied w**k-fest. Likes to think of itself as counter-cultural but it's become the BBC's curtain-raiser to Wimbledon.

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

I seen them 4/5 months ago, they have got worse.

I have a feeling Rod Stewart my surprise a lot of people this year. In a good way.

He has been crap since about 1974.

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.

Not holding my breath after the Castle told us he was retiring and had us all singing for him just the usual

More comebacks than Deacon Blue

Can come back for the Scottish Cup draw anytime 😀

Gary Numan is putting on a good show but his voice isn't where it once was.

I thought it might have been Jarvis! Such an iconic Glastonbury performer. Im enjoying most of the bbc coverage across the network but this pretending neither Neil Young or Kneecap are performing is a bit daft, especially as both performances are or will be all over social media.

Nobody is forcing you to watch it.

I'm picking what I watch. Lewis capaldi the best so far for me.

Lorde has her fans eating out of her hand. Some of the fan-performer connections at Glastonbury are phenomenal. Also really enjoyed Wet Legs set, English Teacher were good. Alanis Morrissette still has a set of pipes.

1978. I will forgive him for anything after giving me the greatest rock n' roll gig I've ever attended in the Playhouse in 1977. Absolute carnage.

But from Do You Think I'm Sexy onwards, aye, complete and utter pish.

Think John should consider retiring but looking good for 80, was he being booed by parts of the crowd.?

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!'
