Really represented himself and the community so well, showing people they can be whatever they want. He will be knighted before he’s 30. Class act.

Stortz Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Exceptional. I have been to 14 Glastonburys in the past but am now too old, and that is up there with Radiohead in 95 as the best headline set I've ever seen. G'wan Big Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coppello Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I’ve got to say that’s up there with the best I’ve ever seen. I was dragged to see him tonight and was blown away. I’ve never seen so many people who didn’t know/understand someone’s music but be so engaged for a full hour and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Nope. Emperors clothes and all that. Last night’s headliners were as attractive as watching Burnley vs Watford. Went to bed after 20 minutes. May be I’m getting old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I thought Stormzy was ace, definitely took his chance. A field on a farm in Somerset is an odd setting to comment on urban life but he smashed it. Jon Hopkins looked good too, that definitely works in a field.

It's true that every generation does that, but, taking away what people like or dislike (and that often comes down to what's cool/peer pressure etc), the actual quality of the music has generally gone south.

lenred Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I’m laid up at the moment after an op so have watched a lot of it so far. Friday was fantastic, great mix of quality acts- Idles, Stormzy, Charlatans, Jon Hopkins, Maribou State, Tame Impala, Interpol, Cat Power.....so much good stuff. But today has been pretty bland so far from what I’ve seen....hopefully Chemical Bros, Hot Chip and Wu Tang Clan will save the day. Have to say that the coverage on BBC is amazing this year. Pretty much all the stages covered and all in HD which makes a huge difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idles were unbelievable last night. That set had everything, including Joe in tears at the end. Neneh Cherry and Foals I've enjoyed so far today. Can I stay up for Hot Chip? That is the question. Oh, and the one song they played of Lizzo looked entertaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stortz Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 Chemical Brothers: melting faces since 1994. Amazing stuff, the visuals and intensity are off the chart. All of the main stages seem to be produced to a far, far higher standard this year imo, especially the lighting. @Kid in the Riot, I hadn't seen Idles before last night despite them being fellow Bristolians. They were absolutely fantastic. Emotional to watch tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Lizzo looked great tbf - one of those ‘moments’. Idles were amazing - kicked the absolute shit out of it, really pleased for them. Huge crowd as well - The Park Stage is so so good. Foals I couldn’t really get into. Thought they were a bit formulaic although I get that’s their style. Chemical Brothers are really good atm, brilliant visuals as well. Hot Chip will be ace - saw them at Trinity a couple of months ago and it was one of the best gigs I’ve seen for a good while. You can do it!
