nicksneddon Any highlights from the electronic stuff Nick?

Sounded like he did a, ahem, good Job.

I do wonder if we’ve reached peak “glasto”. Some of the BBC coverage is on par with that slag Sue Wimbowland. Tennis/ Strawberries and cream yes sir! Royal birth? Don’t mind if I do! Etc

Yeah we all know it’s not about the headliners/pop music, yet I can’t help but think some of these acts may be attracting a more mainstream middle class crowd which may shift the demographics and tilt the vibe towards blandness.

mono-stereo part of the reason I dislike it so much I think, the general wankathon every year from the BBC. It feels like a bit of a popularity contest nowadays.

mono-stereo er, massively. It’s a steaming pile of dung now.

LT42

Smallman1 Did he play 2 hours of happy hardcore rave classics from 1993?

Not sure LT, wasn’t there sir!

Olly Murs rumoured to be headlining next year.

I mean there’s a reason why Elton John was never invited to play when michael eavis was in charge.

LT42

All pitched up to about 145bpm. For one of the best in the biz he seems to have moments of wtf

Millsy

Elton was banging it out at 145bpm? No wonder it sounded so shite

LT42

Millsy we could win the World Series with you banging them out of the park like that, Millsy

mono-stereo ill be honest with you mate i didnt get to heart too much music, i think i missed out on a lot. i was really ill on the thursday, and 15 minutes from the end of Lizzo some really strong acid kicked in and everything went completely left for me so I missed a big chunk of stuff. I think I heard DJ Tennis last night at San Remo? he was bloody awful. It may come back to me st some point

Millsy

LT42 alley Oop!

Smallman1

Am sure it was great being there but it all feel a little sedate this year.

Morty-C-137

So Glastonbury has turned into Eurovision song contest? Shocked..

mono-stereo

nicksneddon ah sorry to hear that mate. Hope you’re feeling a bit better now.

nicksneddon

I can only comment on content provided by the shitty beeb but what I can say is we watch it every year avidly as we have always loved it but this year was just bilge after bilge after bilge. Crap singing, crap artistes, crap line up, far far too many past it pensioners. Severely underwhelming.
Used to go a fair bit early 90s and it just looks like it’s lost its magic of being somewhere cunts don’t bother going. A little bit underground or something. Not quite sure but it just seems sold out in some way.
We have been saying to the kids don’t worry when you are a bit older we will take you. This year we just thought Christ I hope they don’t remember us saying that.
Friends reporting there are now other festivals that have the glasto vibe of old that are their preferred haunts. I mean who the fuck wants to watch that fat spunk bucket, Elton or Ollie fucking Murrs? Octashite.
