Glastonbury pile of crap
Jump to: Newest in thread
I just watched 10 mins of it..
I thought being a Saturday night the big guns of music would be on and it would be rocking!?
But oh no!!!!
There’s someone called little simz who I’ve never heard off..
Spouting racism and basically an absolute load of crap..
It’s actually hilarious when they scan the crowd you can see the disappointment on people’s faces as they’ve probably paid £200 a ticket for a Saturday night..
And before anyone says it...
I’m not a racist and like allsorts of music.. |

Well enjoy  I won't be watching her. My ex-husband loved her, so everytime I hear her sing, it reminds me of him and makes me want to vomit |

Oh no. You ok?
But I don't think it's as good as previous years  |

Yeah, I like that iplayer have done that. I was flicking through them earlier and found Kasabian, who weren't even on the published line up. They were good. |

Yeah I can’t believe Emily Eavis never checked with you first if you’d heard of Ivor Novello award winner Little Simz. She must be feeling such a fool right about now. |

She’s also a good actress but clearly not talented enough for the OP. |

It's not for you, which is fine, but also it's not FOR you.
There's plenty of words that groups of people used between themselves that are offensive to others. For example, if one of your mates called you a cunt, that would be affectionate banter, but if I called you a cunt, you'd be offended.

It’s the first year I’ve noted a lack of bands/artists that I recognise. I’ve watched plenty of the coverage but it’s not really been for me. I did find myself sofa bopping to Dua Lipa last night however. She was pretty slick and polished in performance. |

That was my initial thought. I also think that a lot of the stadium/arena acts, are choosing to tour and earn their dollars vs playing for free. |

There's been quite a lot of bands I know, from listening to 6music most of the time, on iPlayer, and we've just been watching Orbital on BBC4 but some of the pop acts are starting to be too young for me.

I like her, so we're 1:1. Much rather watch her than some other 'big guns of music'. I won't be watching Coldplay, for example. It's almost as if they're catering for lots of different tastes at once in one mega festival. |

"Not really a fan of Coldplay, but they were nicely entertaining. Heart strings got tugged a little at the appearance of Michael J Fox. "
Not a coldplay fan either but i did catch a bit of there set,i didnt realize that was Michael J Fox till you mentioned it. |

Well I saw Coldplay for the first time and I loved the set, seeing MJ Fox was also a good surprise.
Then Disclosures which I thought I hadn't heard of but knew most of their music.
I donot think I will see S Twain but then again I might.
Glasto was criticised for not heading women acts so are remedying that this year.
I will watch Dupa on iplayer but I do not think know her music.
The iplayer is good for Glasto most of the acts will be on there over this and next month, so I look forward to going though the choices.

Bookface summed it up pretty well......
Glasonbury - where champaign socialists go to virtue signal about open borders, behind an Israeli style wall that keeps out the riff-raff who can't afford the £340 ticket.
It gets less like a music festival and more like a "must be seen at" every year.
Congrats to Colplay for the first band to headline 5 times and their guest appearance of Michael J fox though.
*kudos |

Well , I thought it being Saturday night that you'd be out on the town.
Thanks for the review though. I don't need to go next year now. |

I’ve enjoyed the bits I’ve seen.
Some of the music isn’t to my taste but I’d still love to go at some point, I think watching it on the box compared to been there in the atmosphere is very different. |

Paul Heaton as per usual was great and then to see Norman Cook turn up. 
I like Glastonbury I think it’s the only place I could act like a teenager again. Most festival look like they’re focused on a young demographic, Glastonbury looks like it’s focusing on all age ranges.
My opinion and I could be wrong about other Festivals.   |

Worst year yet and no doubt everyone will say its the best,
James was on Friday night did they show it live? No can you watch it on catch up? No, oh but what you can watch on catch up is some grime artist (singing) about shooting someone, great Glastonbury oh and to the idiot on the radio saying there's never any trouble or crime at the event wants to give their head a wobble lol |

Paul was good and the young girl who took Jacqueline Abbotts place had an amazing voice |

Its on my bucket list to get to and I've recorded some of it to catch up during the week
Don't think I'd even go to the pyramid stage to be honest if I get there as there's a lot more to see and do than just watch the headliners so I presume the people that go have a completely different experience of watching than someone at home on the couch with a beer
Get to a live gig no matter how small the band as it can make a huge difference to them

Is that most or some of the former attendees?
Re the new crowd; could it be a case of who has the most disposable income?
BTW I don't have a vested interest as I've never been and can't recall watching it on TV... |

"Little Sims has every right to be at Glastonbury, she’s a successful and respected UK artist. In this era of British black music she is one of the best. She’s also a great actress. "
I've got a little Sims in my new phone. Much smaller than the old ones you used to get.. That's progress I guess... |

That's a slightly different issue. I know it's very expensive, but I don't think the crowd is especially less diverse or more middle class because of it. Glastonbury was hardly ever a working class bastion! |

And I reckon lots of the people who's 'originally frequented' still go - always comes across that way when you see interviews or documentaries about it. People seem to make a big deal of saying they've been going for years!

I went to Glasto three times in the 1990s with plenty of great bands....2024 didnt have many great acts....the big crowds are really offputting... Or maybe just my age about worrying to get to the toilet and standing up for hours half a mile from the stage.
