This weekend and I have just looked at the line ups on the main stages.
1. The 1975, are they really that big they can headline the pyramid stage on Friday night.
2. Neil Young is a massive headliner on the Saturday, but Raye as second on the bill, the whole day doesnt give me much hope.
3. How is Rod Stewart that low down on the Sunday bill, i know its the legends spot but there is no one above that would fill the Brook let alone Glastonbury, Olivia Rodrigo has only had two albums FFS, Noah Kahan 1 big albim released 3 years ago again never heard of him.
The Other stage seems to be a little better, but Charli XcX & The Prodigy hardly Glasto headliners,.
All in all yet another step to Glastonbury being a middle class type gathering, not a rock festival anymore |  |

Agreed Winchesterexile. Back in my day, Debbie Harry, although sexy as hell, always turned up fully dressed (is it mysogynistic to say "more's the pity?")but then she could sing. [Post edited 29 Jun 7:45]

The best way to deal with vermin like Kneecap is simply not to mention them.
Don’t give the bellends the publicity they crave.
And then there is this Bob Vylan drivel as well.
These people are all just trying to get a career from the Gaza crisis.
The irony of course being that the recent troubles were all escalated by Hamas’ actions at a music festival.
I love music frestivals, but Glastonbury has just become a sad parody and the BBC should stop showing it.
I was going to watch Pulp on the iPlayer, but won’t bother now. |  |

Glastonbury is for people who think Coldplay are a rock band. | | | |

OK, show of hands. Glastonbury or Wimbledon? I bet more people watch the former. | |

Although Kneecap and Bob Vylan are expressing views that Pat finds offensive, there was some happy clappy Christian being shown on the coverage. A dual standard for sure. As was said by the UN head, the October 7 attack didn't happen in a vacuum. Hezbollah were the good guys when they were the Mujahadin, remember. Much of Woodstock was a protest against the Vietnam war and if people that youngsters look up to express their opinions then that s better than the fake news from the "influencers" followed by the vacuous braindeads in my opinion.
I may not agree with those views but they should never be silenced. Those of the rat Farage particularly offend me and I would happily see him used as sharkbait an inch at a time but without his beliefs on open display , they cannot be properly challenged. | |

Glastonbury is a bit like the Prem in some ways. It used to be harder edged, you could do virtually do what you liked and everyone was equal. Nowadays it’s tightly controlled and it’s become a corporate love in e.g. there’s that fenced off bit in front of the stage for corporates. A bit like the ‘soccer fan experience’ or ‘customer experience’ the Prem wants to promote.
My first Glastonbury was 1980 I think so you can see where I’m coming from. New Order and Aswad were good. Gong were absolute sh*te. |  | | |

Gong. Ah, yes. When I returned to Southampton from living in Denmark c.1986, there was a very right on vegetarian Cafe on Onslow Road called "The Flying Teapot."
The running joke there was:
"What's this fly doing in my soup? Dying of hypothermia." | |

You're showing your age there, Gennaro. Pulp are in their 60s, but they did at least have one memorable song, Common People, and Jarvis Cocker seems like a nice person. He reminds me of Bill Nighy.
Let's face it: it's all only pop music so we shouldn't take it too seriously, and, unlike classical music, it will all be forgotten a hundred years from now. [Post edited 29 Jun 11:38]

Neil Young - absolute class. |
Neil Young is a bit of an acquired taste
& I'm not really a fan but I thought it was a good session, very hypnotic.
No doubting they are great musicians.
Favourite act so far has to be Jarvis Cocker & Pulp.
Doesn't take himself too serious but very entertaining.
Most other acts are instantly forgettable.
That's the beauty of recording & watching after the event, you can just by pass the rubbish. | | | |

The opiates of the masses are ephemeral things and for each person, the most memorable are the ones they experienced when they were most receptive to them: in their teens and 20s. | |

I thought he was brilliant, with such a big back catalogue (over 70 albums) he was never going to please everybody.
Shaboozy who was on earlier today was absolute class, part R&B part bluegrass, what's not to like. |  | | |

Dont always agree with your posts Pat but on this occasion you are spot on . | | | |

More hypocrisy from Eavis. Now his empire is threatened he decides it's time to condemn hate speech and changes his tune from "if you don't like our politics don't come" to "there is no place at Glastonbury for.... incitement to violence."
Bob Vylan's lyric's are basically one long incitement to violence. Here are just a few:
"kill the f*cking queen"
"Lynch your leaders"
"Landlord just raised your rent
Better get yourself a gun"
So, apparently now it's ok to incite violence against landlords, royalty and politicians, but not the IDF.
The Eavis's knew exactly what they were giving a platform to but it wouldn't have been a good marketing move for them to exclude the acts that are trendy with the yoof. Now they're saying oh dear we didn't realise. It's just more double standards and hypocrisy. | | | |

Judging from this thread, Glastonbury seems to have caused a lot of anger and unhappiness so it's just as well it's not happening next year. | |

Vermin because they voice their anger at kids being killed in their hundreds by weapons our government funds!?
Everyone is entitled to air their views that’s the beauty of freedom of speech just that the bbc seems to be a bit more spectre about what they choose to show | | | |
