It's actually in Pilton, but let's not split hairs. As well as the obligatory rain, cider & that £@#&!ng Wolves flag on a pole, obscuring my view, this year the Women's Institute are celebrating their centenary with tea&cake stall. Lemon drizzle, simnel, Victoria sponge anyone!?!

All that mud , long hair , earrings and shitting in buckets with gay abandon has never appealed to me. The Florence wench was on last night and her music was shit too. Like Kate Bush but with a crap voice and songs.

Mark Robson was dull as fuck until the last two songs.
Thought Florence did well. Hot Chip as good as ever. Libertines were a bit shit sounding from what I saw.
From Motorheads set...Lemmy doesn't look well at all.
Need to catch up with SFA and Everything Everything today.
Fairly decent start so far.

The Sound system was awful for Libertines, Lemmy neads putting out of our mystery, Florence is just a posh bird with a dressing-up box, but Odessa were ace & with the sunset light on them, it was like being back in Ibiza. Let's 'av a disco biscuit & get naked!!!

Glastonbury was completely sold out.... before any bands were announced. Apparently this is because Glastonbury is all about the mood and the vibe not the music. Not about the music? OK, what that Eavis bloke should do next time is get Mike Read, The Krankies, and Simon Groom to headline it. When 100,000 people make complaints Eavo should stroke his beard and ask them why they are arsed about the bill because it isn't about the music is it? Oh no, of course not! That'll learn em.

Been to a few of them back in the day and thoroughly enjoyed every one. Mind you i never witnessed a major wash out and tended to avoid the main stage as a rule.

Not seen any highlights yet, but the line up looks good, a mix of the owd and the new and as ever very eclectic. I'll be having a look for Courtney Barnett, she's playing one of the lesser stages. And did I see that George Clinton's Mothership is/are playing. Hope the weather holds up.

I was lucky enough to catch The Who at Hyde Park Last night. Was very close to the stage and the performance was quality as usual. Enjoy them on Sunday night guys.

Worst Glastonbury line-up I've even seen, but it inna even Glastonbury anymore, it's just some 'fashion event' that all the 'cool kids' have to attend so they can take a load of 'selfies' & post them on Facebook to show what an ace time they're having.
Who the fuck goes to a gig/festival/whatever & stands there taking selfies or holding their phone in the air getting some shit footage with wank sound of the band, rather than, you know, actually enjoying the moment & getting lost in the music.... Mind you it's hard to get lost in the music with that toss line-up.

Mind you it's hard to get lost in the music with that toss line-up. Ever been? I used to be a festival regular in the 90s and I broadly agree with the Drunken Communists thoughts on this. You used to go to Glastonbury because you were mad for music or into alternative living. It just appears to be a shallow 'event' that folk turn up to like Romeros zombies. When the old school Rock bands finish, then live music will never be the same.

Forget about the line up (people seem to forget that it isn't just about the 2 "main stages" at all.they seem to check those line ups and think thats it which it REALLY isnt) but in general it's a much more diluted and increasingly commercial shadow of its former self nowadays

Last time i went it was full of those twats but you could still come across some strange shit that blew you away. In particular i remember stumbling across Squarepusher in the first year of the Glade and the place erupted. Small piece of magic away from the throng.

Small piece of magic away from the throng. watched the sun come up to autechre 1 year....fucking gorgeous! Yeah there are still some awesome spots! Just more that people seem to think it's just a big v festival and concentrate on the 2 main stages so you get shitloads of dicks nowadays.the dance tent on a saturday is fucking weird....girls stumbling through a field dressed up like a night on the town in heels.stay away from them and there are undoubtedly enough things going on to fully entertain
