Glastonbury Festival 2021 - cancelled

[elbows]

Although maybe Thom Yorke will explore a very different side to himself with their new vehicle the Smile and they will be all happy happy joy joy. Perhaps it would be unwise to bet on that

 

[Hollis]

Ah, brilliant song.

 

[spitfire]

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.

I guess it will pick up with Honey Dijon etc. but it didn't have to be consistently depressing.

EDM set incoming.

Am finding Damon underwhelming, self-serving and affected. Much like his last Glasto performance I saw.. (Stepping in for U2 was it..?)

I wouldnt want to heckle the dead drummer bit anyway, but especially not considering who the drummer was Tony Allen (musician) - Wikipedia

I wouldn't either, he was a legend.

 

[Gerry1time]

Cheers elbows. Anyone know who the special guest is?

eta: it's the Radiohead lot.

It's Glastonbury. The secret special surprise guest is ALWAYS Radiohead or Radiohead related.

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?

yeah this music is as weird as his haircut

Somehow I hadnt made the connection between the Afrobeat stuff and The Good, The Bad and The Queen, but then I suppose its also possible I had made that connection in the past but completely forgot at some point.

Now this next act seems to contain potential for 'incorrectly heard lyrics' fun due to her singing style.

Damon and his various projects have been sometimes brilliant but this was just noodlewank.

Not a fan of this style of singing at all. All from the back of the throat.

It didnt make me curious about whats next in store on his musical voyage. I thought he was going to start singing about slippers and a comfy chair.

Ian Dury called, he wants his hair back.

I've turned it off, will check back for Kano and Honey Dijon.

 

[elbows]

You not curious to see what Thoms got in store then?

Oh yeah.

BRB.

It does remind me a bit of what happened when I tried to watch some pro wrestling on telly when they had no audience in their venues early in the pandemic - you realise how much even on telly the crowd adds to the atmosphere and energises the performers.

 

[elbows]

Its okkkaaayyayayayay its another clicheeeeeeeee

 

[neonwilderness]

I’m liking this, but it’s not doing much to lift the mood

 

[Badgers]

Pot Kettle

Conservative MP Steve Brine branded the situation a "shambles".

"Lots of people have paid you their money for this and your system is clearly unable to handle it

Fucking nerve of that cunt ^

 

[Indeliblelink]

Radiohead time. I might actually turn the sound on for this.

 

[neonwilderness]

It might be a different band, but a lot of this is sounding similar to A Moon Shaped Pool so far

Not that that’s a bad thing.

 

[spitfire]

Run out of budget for cameras then. Maplins CCTV it is!

 

[spitfire]

Oh yeah. Here we go!

 

[elbows]

Oh yeah. Here we go!

We have a winner....

 

[spitfire]

Funky French Horn FTW.

 

[spitfire]

Kano was brilliant, energy and pathos can live side by side.

Honey Dijon starting well with Brighter Days and the Festival Safety Land Rover making a cameo appearance, lights a flashing!.

 

[spitfire]

DIN DA DA!
