Glastonbury Festival 2021 - cancelled

[spitfire]

It's up again!

 

[Ground Elder]

Yes I think they had to cave in and do what tech-knowledgeable people had been demanding they do for ages before they made that link available: bypass the auth code part of the system which was hopelessly overloaded (rather than the actual streaming bit which was not over capacity).

It's like Woodstock all over again

 

[Numbers]

It's down now for me.

Working for me.

 

[spitfire]

It's like Woodstock all over again

With less hippies.

 

[neonwilderness]

The humanity

 

[Sunray]

Switching from the Eurovision to The Idles is good to do on Saturday night.

From this



To this

 

[spitfire]

Now I can get on with moaning about how uninspiring I find many of the acts to be instead

Currently being underwhelmed by Haim.

 

[circleline]

Got sent a link that over-rode the code and logged it to discover Coldplay and their higher power shite..

 

[elbows]

I might only be watching out of interest to see what Thom Yorkes new thing is like later.

I can cope with Coldplay for a tiny amount of time by going into full Beavis & Butthead heckling mode.

And then Chris Martin started his comedy act

 

[elbows]

The rewind feature went far enough back that I can watch some of Idles whilst waiting for the Coldplay horror to end.

 

[Sunray]

Chris Martin in the pissing rain: 'Wish you were here'

No, however much I miss Glastonbury I don't miss the mud. Ever. I was getting all rose tinted spectacles for Glastonbury and then I saw pissing rain.
The PTSD kicked in.

 

[spitfire]

Fuck me Albarn, liven it up a bit man!

Ah bollox, did I miss IDLES?

 

[Hollis]

I really thnk Damon Albarn should do Parklife to liven things up abit..

 

[Indeliblelink]

I'm enjoying his impressive mullet.

 

[Sunray]

Ah bollox, did I miss IDLES?

You can rewind to the start which is somewhere in the middle of their set. It's clearly not the start as HAIM were 'live' at 26min in at 8:50pm

 

[Hollis]

He needs a bloody haircut as well.

 

[elbows]

Ah bollox, did I miss IDLES?

Yeah the lineup times are on this page if you scroll down a bit:

Cheers elbows. Anyone know who the special guest is?

eta: it's the Radiohead lot.

 

[Badgers]

Fuck me Albarn, liven it up a bit man!

THIS

 

[Hollis]

Not exactly the Floyd, Pompeii, 1971, is it.

 

[Badgers]

Albarn looks like a hipster Shane MacGowan but sounds like the Cranberries after a dose of Valium

 

[spitfire]

Me and Mlle Fire can never see the stone circle without remembering 2008 and the guy who perched on the stone and spent 3 hours or so roaring about how it was going to get RED HOT REDDD HOTTT, IT'S GOING TO BE RED HOT. RED HOT.

He was right TBF. See my friends Monique and Lauren observing the weather sage. (and Yvonne just out of shot).

 

[Badgers]

Get Gong on ffs

 

[spitfire]

I do like this tune tbf.

But it is Saturday night and we could all do with a lift after the last 15 months so surely they could have made it all a bit less....melancholy?

 

[spitfire]

At least Damon's rock is dancing.

 

[elbows]

They needed to invite different people to perform if they hoped to achieve that. This is sort of the sad microglasto lockdown edition, and I guess they will save the fun stuff for some future event that involves more people.
