One of the worst lineups I’ve ever seen, Emily is ruining her father’s legacy.

If it was in the garden I’d phone the council. 

Last years’ was very bad.

Anything in particular you want to catch on the telly?

The Prodigy for me

Seen them numerous times, pre-Flint death. Excellent, but got blown out the park by Pendulum at IOW festival 2009.

Neither a patch on the Chems...

The lead singer of Wet Leg seems to have turned into a right dirty cow and I am absolutely on board with their new artistic direction.

You’d have thought someone would have told her that her shorts were too tight?

Just to add I’m sure none of us are interested WHATSOEVER in Rhian Teasdale or indeed any other performing artist from a sexual point of view and are thoroughly satisfied with our respective spouses. That said, I could properly smash in to 60 yr old Jo Wiley given half a chance.

Too right. She looks fucking amazing.

Really enjoying these music chats.

Casting aside for a moment  the sexual appeal or otherwise depending if you are happily married or not of WET LEG’S lead singer…….I fucking DETEST the 1975.

Watching 1975 on iPlayer

feck me, this is a headliner? Bland, wet and very unexciting

no wonder the Glastonbury crowd loves it

Yep, I don't get 1975. A nothing band. 

That said, the pyramid and other stage are only 2 of 12 or so. There's so much other good stuff on the lesser stages and if people get their steps in, they'll having a cracking few days listening to loads of amazing stuff. The people watching on the telly only judge it by the headliners though, and it seems to be that as we get older, they're less relevant to us. Olivia Rodrigo, for example, is massive, but I wouldn't turn up for her.

The lead singer of 1975 was trying too hard to be edgy by drinking a tiny bit of Guineness and smoking some ciggys, all whilst singing some very bland shite

They're not my cup of tea either, but, people love them, and those that don't will have had a cracking time at another stage or just chilling out on a warm evening.

My point really is that headliners are just a small part of a festival. I've been to the IOW loads of times and been nowhere near the main stage all weekend and had an absolute blast. I've always come away liking a band/singer who I didn't previously rate, and discovered loads of new ones. The highlight has always been on a small stage, or something different.

My kids love her and actually pretty decent songs. I rather see her than Rod Stewart

Mystery to me as well but a girl I know who goes to gigs constantly said best band she’s ever seen live - amazed me as she has plenty to compare to. Taste huh!

She's talented for sure, just not my thing. I can see why she's there though, and doubtless she'll be brilliant. I'd be at the other stage going nuts to the Prodigy though - a completely different act for a completely different demographic. Jorga Smith and The Macacbees are ilon at the same time elsewhere. There'll also some random shit going on in a tent somewhere, and all sorts. 

I just don't get why people judge a festival by snippets they see on the telly, and criticise it if it's not what they want to listen to. Stick to Spotify if that's you, and leave the festivals to people who get it.

You can't please everyone, but there is an awful lot of stuff that's not for me, and that's fine. 

Acts that might surprise?

Gary Numan - if you're expecting synth pop and Cars, you'll be getting some pretty cool heavy industrial guitar-driven rock.

And Lewis Capaldi - that was a proper comeback, fair play to the boy.

Agree with that. Lewis Capaldi was superb, and Numan has much more about him than you'd imagine. I'd recommend Future Islands. Absolutely brilliant live, and the front man is just brilliant.

There's a surprise act on the Pyramid stage this evening and loads of people are convinced it's gonna be Pulp. Have to say I'm really not a fan of their new material.

If I was there I would be at the Park Stage tonight - Beth Gibbons followed by Caribou.

Last night there was a glimpse of Paul McCartney watching one of the acts from the side of the stage, and I see that the Bootleg Beatles are due to play the acoustic stage tomorrow. I wonder if he'll join them on stage?

I think it'll be Pulp. I like the new album personally, but it's taken a few listens. 

I hadn't realised that about McCartney. Hil appearing with the Bootleg's would be great to see. 

Good shout re the park stage, and looks like a mystery artist as well. I'd probably have been at the Woodside's though - love the Nova Twins and Father John Misty.

My niece went to see her in Hyde Park last night not my cup of tea but then I expect she doesn’t particularly want a middle aged bloke in her fan base. It was quite amusing when Mrs Turkish said to her sister that there are loads of these bland girl singers around now that all sound the same as Taylor Swift, her sister almost exploded, she’s mid fourties but tries to be cool and in with the kids but she’s a like an embarrassing drunk auntie trying too hard

Pulp have been really good.

Seems the surprise act on the Park Stage is gonna be Haim. Not a huge fan but always worth watching their live shows, if only to see the gurning faces their bass player pulls

Ezra Collective really bringing the party on the Other stage. I saw them a couple of weeks ago at Moovin festival and they're absolutely superb live.

They're superb. I'm enjoying Father John Misty bringing the pace down. Quality.

Peak lefty knob cheese Glastonbury has to be all of these dumbass Palestinian flags being waved and that pointless prick singing anti Isreal chants at a music festival. 

After the Palestinian terrorists murdered loads of people at a bloody music festival.

Someone should have explained to Alanis Morisette that’s something that IS ironic.

Agreed, I thought they were superb. Never listened to them before but will again now.
