Glastonbury 2024

[nottsgirl]

I’m watching Coldplay now. I guess, they’re good at what they do. Chris Martin has a weird accent now though. I noticed it the other day in some Coldplay at Glastonbury program.

 

[Numbers]

Well ! Thank you everybody that mentioned IDLES, you were so persuasive I checked out some tracks, they're really rather good aren't they ? . Although I'd heard of them before I hadn't heard anything by them and now I'm a fan

Same for me, never really gave them much thought previously but loved that set.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I can’t help but admire Coldplay’s show from a technical perspective - it’s flawless, epic in scope, and looks incredible.

It’s just a shame that - in the words of someone on Twitter this morning - it’s “music for people with framed motivational phrases on their wall”.

 

[spitfire]

IDLES First album is still the best IMO followed by the second. I prefer the punkier stuff. Later albums are good as well but less immediate. They’re growers. Bit more experimental.

 

[High Voltage]

... but keep locals happy...

Mrs Voltz is decidedly unhappy. Having some noise made us feel part of it, a bit anyway

And bear in mind we're less than 3 miles as the sound flies but the other side of a range of hills so it was hardly intrusive

It must be so much better for the people living in Pilton mind

Truly you can’t please all the people all the time

My 13 year old lad is there and was down the front!

In his Orbital hat we got in Brizzle last year!

Just seen the Mel C / Orbital bit.

That’s bloody brilliant, anyone moaning have a word with yourselves

 

[Hollis]

Watching the Sleaford Mods. They’ve largely passed me by.

I saw them do a benefit gig at the Scala earlier this year, and managed to get fairly near the front. The intensity of their gigs is fantastic..

 

[Sweet FA]

Lankum are so good.

 

[Numbers]

Never been a Coldplay fan but watched the first 30 mins whilst Mrs Numbers was on the phone. Visually stunning and rather impressive.

We’re about to watch Little Simz

Yea just seen it tbf, based on reading this.. it's mint. The crowd would be well happy about that.

 

[Petcha]

That Coldplay set was the best thing I've ever seen at Glastonbury. I cannot believe I just typed that.

 

[Sweet FA]

I can.

The beautiful glowing suspension bridge across the valley viewed from the stone circle was the best thing I've ever seen at Glastonbury. A microdot may have been involved, as it wasn't there the next morning.

One of them you had to be there microdot moments

Tilda Swinton

was brilliant with Orbital. I heard it on the radio last night but didn’t clock that it was them or her.

 

[Gromit]

Just seen the Mel C / Orbital bit.

Ive seen Orbital live across three decades. I'm a real fan.

The Mel C bit for me as an Orbital fan and someone who didn't like the Spicegirls much...

Joyous.
Mel C's Bez dancing was pure Manchester. Awesome. Her enjoyment shone through and radiated out.
Phil wearing a wig!

The ten minutes of Tilda Swinton however. I'd like that time back please.

Finally who schedules Orbital to start in sunlight?
Sunlight robs them of their powers.
Gig didn't really warm up properly until the sun started setting.

I've been to six Glastonburys. That was the most flawless I've seen. Sorry.

Oh I thought it was Cate Blanchette.

Was very good. Funny as well.

[tommers]

This is true. However everyone must have their outlet, and Coldplay are mine. Although I will admit that they are a step up from Travis.

Oh I'm still offended by fucking Coldplay.

 

[Hollis]

I had the pleasure of being up front at the Pyramid Stage in 2009... New Order had just finished with a few Joy Divison numbers, and i had to do a quick reverse much to the bemusement of all the Coldplay fans gathering for their headliner.. Can't say I have any regrets.

Paloma cancelled her gig in Southampton on Friday due to "exhaustion"

 

[pesh]

I have been having a lovely time working on Arcadia. The dragonfly is just beautiful

 

[nottsgirl]

This Orbital/ Spice Girls mashup is pretty good.

We have her on, something about her annoys me but Mrs Numbers likes her.

urban was indifferent 15 years ago too...

Paloma Faith - Stone Cold Sober

Just heard on R1. I quite like it; the chorus is catchy as fuck, but I suspect I'll be bored to death of it quite soon.

Soft Play on live at the mo. 2 blokes. Punk. Spend a lot of time in the crowd. GIRL FIGHT is my new favourite song.
