BBC Glastonbury Coverage

[sir roger]

Knowing Glastonbury it will be the name of a group performing.

Maybe one for the getting old thread but I had a look at the line up and bloody hell I was struggling to find any act that I would be like, yes, definitely want to see them. Maybe Supergrass and JAMC for old times sake and would make an attempt to go watch Yard Act and Wet Leg.

 

I went in 96 and 98 and it was horrendous trying to decided who to miss because you knew near enough all the acts.

 

You couldn't pay me to go these days but if I was there I'd just find the quietest part of the site and sit off getting drunk in the sun.

This year has been fucked because of Brexit & Covid. Very little international bands able to commit. The line-up is fucking grim.

They should have taken TLW advice and had a Beige Stage.

At least I would have heard of them!

I thought the line up was fucking boss. All a matter of personal taste and opinion of course, what's good for the goose an all that.

 

The headline acts are spot on, Billie Ellish for the youngsters, Kendrick Lamarr is a top notch American R&B act and of course Macca for Saturday night. On the legends slot you've got a bona fida legend in Diana Ross and I think they've packed the undercards with good acts.

 

Here's the full list, wish I was going.

Robert Plant (and Alison Krauss) on the Friday late evening sun Pyramid slot is not to be sniffed at. Saw him in a little acoustic tent late one night in 2000 or 2002, the sort of thing Glastonbury used to just be able to throwaway as it pleased. Incredible.
 

Amazing festival, whatever the line-up is doing, and you’ll always find great music shoe-horned in all over the shop away from the main stages and prime slots. 
 

Used to love circling the handful of non-negotiable, I will be at this gig at this time events of the weekend at the start, then just seeing where the going was good for the rest of the time there and discovering things by chance. If that meant missing someone you’d ideally like to see but who weren’t in the cannot be missed category, by definition you were being rewarded with something unexpectedly great.

 

Sitting in a scorching hot field, nicely bombed and watching the Sunday late afternoon/early evening legend slot is always pure class and one of the best ways to spend a summer day in England.

Herbie Hancock is playing, legends don't come much bigger than him in my book.

 

Also Nubya Garcia, who is amazing, I'm going to see her in Edinburgh in July...

Is their anything worse than someone going on about fucking Glastonbury and their attendance at the event, imagine if I cared, fucking hell.

Is their anything worse than someone moaning about someone going on about enjoying themselves at an event on the very thread about that event?

Yeah great shout.

[Scott_M]

I’ve skimmed the line up, my favourites on the bill are Turnstile.

 

Which means BBC won’t show 1 second of them.

[cloggypop]

I'll be watching Wet Leg and Amyl & The Sniffers via iPlayer. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Decent gig at the Cheese & Grain in Frome, tomorrow.

I’ve never been to Glastonbury, as I like showering way too much. Rinsing is one of my favourite pastimes. I’d enjoy Diana Ross, Paul McCartney and the Pet Shop Boys, though.

It's a fucking boss name for a band. Wait until you hear Charlie & The Lesbians.
