 Most of them. 

 

All.

 

"They" seem to be passing off their singer as an original member. Given that they were an instrumental act and that she appears on none of their classic recordings, that's obviously bullshit. And bullshit that "they" can't keep straight on the official website, where it's accurately stated that:

 

"The Skatalites were formed in 1964 in Kingston, Jamaica by key studio musicians Tommy McCook, Rolando Alphonso, Lloyd Brevett, Lloyd Knibb, Don Drummond, Jah Jerry Haynes, Jackie Mittoo, Johnny Moore, and Jackie Opel."

 

All of the above are quite dead, unless I'm much mistaken.

Showing some of that Dua Lipa sort from last night. What a load of fucking shite. 

Can’t believe she’s miming loads. She’s got a boss voice. She’d get it every single day of the week she’s an absolute angel but no chance she should be headlining and a Glastonbury performer let alone a headliner should be singing live!!!!! I’m so pissed off I might rip the bottle top away from this plastic bottle of Fanta fuck your recycling bollocks

In the main, I guess that drives(like minded people) to the other stages and acts. 
maybe I’m wrong here but I always assumed Glastonbury was about finding something new and a celebration of that. Coldplay just aren’t that. Each to their own though I guess. 

 

FYI - Otoboke Beaver smashing it. 

[TheBitch]

Little Simz is boss. 
 

Other than that it looks like I’ll be flicking through the iPlayer finding out what I’ve missed.

Coldplay are a superb headline act in terms of the show they deliver but I feel like they’ve headline this about 8 times. It’s the shittest headline trio I’ve seen for Glastonbury to be fair but maybe I’m showing my age.

I remember my mate managed to go to the top gear studio, I lived with him at the time and the first thing I asked him was who was the star in the car (they’d had Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz on not long before he went) and he went “some weirdo cunt called Seasick Steve” I was absolutely gutted! Told him what a legend he is. Anyway we went to see the Foo Fighter at MK Bowl and they brought him on and he was superb. They’d had Alice Cooper on the night before but Seasick Steve stole the show. And some fella getting passed round the ground in an inflatable boat

The smaller stages certainly hold more interest for me this year and it has been increasingly the case in recent years.

 

But for me the main stage this year is as bad as it has ever been.

Seasick Steve is sound enough to be fair.

 

The feller in the boat clearly less so.

Keane and Coldplay. Just missing Travis for my most hated trifecta.

Looking forward to Lil Simz later.

They are fucking great aren’t they? I only discovered them about 4 weeks ago as they were on KEXP’s YouTube channel. 

 

 

 

[Moo]

I really like SZA's music but she seems a strange choice for the Sunday headliner slot.  That said, I've read that she's a very good live performer so I look forward to seeing what she can do.

[cloggypop]

Lankum are boss 

[Gnasher]

Russel Brand can still draw a crowd.
