Pilton...I mean Glasto' Festival

LT42

“How can you slag off a 78 year old legend when 80k people were having the time of their lives? You are wrong.” seems to be the message I’m seeing. 80k people having the time of their lives? Fuck right off. All the people down the front maybe and a few more scattered throughout. The majority just glad to be in a field steamed up without a mask on and would’ve stood there no matter who was playing.

Millsy

Every performance I’ve watched was khazi. I probably missed all the good ones I suppose.

LT42

Millsy I’ve been told from countless people that I NEED to check out Roisin Murphy. I’ll prob crack under pressure and give her a go (I would).

Smallman1

You’ll all be delighted to know I’m back safe and sound having absolutely smashed it!

What a festival!

nicksneddon

Smallman1 Did you make it to Block9 Ed?

Phil-McRackin

Bicep were good

alistair

Phil-McRackin Sounds great but they just stand there and twiddle with their knobs.

Dan

alistair Who else is going to do it? 🧐

alistair

Along_the_Wire Looking at the TV though, he drew by far the biggest crowd of the festival and the played most of his best stuff after 90 minutes.

Cankles-McJeggings

alistair

Really? Did you see how big the Sam fender crowd was ? Same stage wasnt he and it looked like there was a million people going off their tits to a current artist, not some old cunt pissing into a bag with his mates.

Along_the_Wire

alistair I wasted 90 minutes of that festival and more because I had to get there and get back - absolute tripe and an insult to the crowd.

Smallman1

nicksneddon Did you make it to Block9 Ed?

I did not Sir.

The only ‘electronic’ stuff I heard this year was Bicep and Digweed, who was absolutely brilliant.

Along_the_Wire

nicksneddon Block 9 was absolutely brilliant - Groove Armada DJ at Maceo’s and were absolutely brilliant. Atmosphere and crowd were superb

Smallman1

Bicep were fucking brilliant, absolutely smashed it.

alistair

Smallman1 and which other acts smashed it?

1 - Top was off
2- Laces were double knotted
3 - I was getting checked out left, right and centre but that’s standard
4 - No water escapes
5 - Got into an argument with some cunt who wanted to put dairy free butter in my sausage and egg bap (not a euphemism) Had to verbally dismantle him in front of his colleagues and a huge queue, if he was saw me in Tooting he would definitely punch / strangle me.

alistair

Smallman1 Kacey Musgraves is really good. High horse is an anthem

Millsy

Smallman1 good man…were Foals actually any good though? I sat through some of it on telly and wanted to stick my foot through the Sammy. Insipid, turgid claptrap of the highest order.

Ed gets into a brawl with some teenager working on his mates mates stall for a free ticket:

Homegrove

Millsy the new album is a joke. They used to be amazing.

Cankles-McJeggings

Millsy

Same 🤮 absolute shite for hipster wankers. (sorry hipster wankers )

Regarding Bicep, who’s gig was indeed fucking amazing, my boy made a similar comment to what Alistair said, ‘ Why is there no one on stage?’
Did seem a bit odd that 80 odd thousand people were stood watching what was essentially a fancy light show. Underworld and the chems far more engaging.

alistair

Homegrove Is it? How dare they deviate from the formula. Some of it sounds a bit Friendly Fires but that’s not necessarily a bad thing

Homegrove

alistair the double whammy of Holy Fire and What Went Down I guess kept me expecting more of the same calibre of songwriting. It’s ok to change your sound, but the tunes are not there anymore.

Smallman1

I enjoyed Foals but that may have been something to do with the gargantuan kitchen sinking.
