There's no bigger picture it's total garbage and the listeners are gullible fools. Stormzy was fucking immense and anyone who says otherwise is clearly a colossal dog rapist. (Lizzo was great too.) You do realise she's a flautist

Overall i enjoyed the event, the year rest has improved the appetite. As said before enjoyed the odd new act in short bursts but talent as ever will come through at all level and genre's, like last night new to me Janelle Monea performed well as i switched between a great Cure set surprisingly and her. Kylie performed her set and commanded the stage well as which JJ could learn from. I was V disappointed with Kylie. Compared to other acts, I thought she seemed weak...

Gotta love the Oatcake, where something can only be wank or amazing but nothing in between. Don't ever change. I try to stay away from the "it's wank" pronouncements because for some people out there it will be music to their ears but you're right we've got more than our share of opinionated, righteous, argumentative and clueless bastards on here
The best advice is not to try and argue that something is good to a closed mind

I see your point it’s a damn shame public enemy were not headlining in 92 I fucking buzz off Public Enemy but saw them supporting The Stone Roses at the Ethiad in 2016 and they were shit. To say I was disappointed doesn't even begin to cover it. De La Soul on the other hand were fucking boss, despite the 30 years that had passed since their heyday when I saw them a couple of years ago. The public enemy of 92 in their pomp would have been worthy headliners. The tunes and the message their glasto in 2013 was a bit by numbers. I think to be a glasto headliner you need to be Good Have an extensive catalogue of work Not be flavour of the month I still think oasis have a reunion headliner on them as do led zep reincarnation. And although Chris Martin gets on the show every year they know how to headline. I’d like guns n roses and Elton John to get in shape to do it And I’d really love James Taylor and/or Carole king to do the legends slot

Legends slot should just be singing hit after hit. Not costume changes and performance. The sound was terrible and ridiculous they didn’t get Jason Donovan on

I was expecting Kylie's voice to be alot worse and nasally live like when she has been on other shows. I am not a fan of her music (weak pop songs) but thought she put on a show and as i have said before no lover of dance troupes she kept them to a minimum, but the crowd like though out the festival on the main stage in particular not overly energentic in singing along or at least on TV it did not come across.

Makes many valid points about this stormzy virtue-signalling Not really. Bangs on about it being a "white, middle class festival" based on what exactly? There are dozens of stages at Glasto, there are many, many, many performers from literally all over the world, masses of world music (from dozens upon dozens of non-white, non-middle class performers) and many, many people from all walks of life who attend. What you have here is a bloke who's clearly never been to the festival shoehorning an agenda in based on him seeing a few photos of the main stage in the media, the fact that Corbyn made a speech there (not this year. He focusses on this year, then slips in something that happened 2 fucking years ago as if it backs him up amd is somehow relevant to the point he makes about this year's festival) and his own complete lack of knowledge of the festival. He goes on "why are they making such a big deal about Stormzy being black?"...no one at Glastonbury is, it's the newspaper you're quoting from that is you muppet!! It's actually incredibly poor and totally misrepresenting what Glastonbury is actually like in reality. It isn't just the Pyramid stage (which nowadays is chocked full of pop artists) and that's the whole of Glastonbury. It's actually completely ignorant about what the festival as a a whole is like. Incredibly poor and lazy "journalism" (using that term incredibly loosely!) Misrepresentation, obvious complete lack of research about other artists on other stages that appear there every year, then slagging off the festival for something a newspaper says. Extremely poor and ignorant video basically. If it was MSM reporting this then people would be up in arms about how they're completely misrepresenting and cherry picking facts to suit their own story, but when it fits your own personal agenda, suddenly it's someone making "valid" points. The guy is utterly clueless and his points are actually weak as piss if you look at facts. They're only valid if you swallow what he says as gospel, when in reality most is actually bullshit from a bloke with no experience of what he's complaining about. It's actually an extremely poor and badly researched video. His smug, self-superior demeanour also doesn't help him, given the fact he clearly has no clue about the subject he's addressing.

It’s not like black working class kids aren’t allowed. Perhaps they don’t want to camp in fields of mud, toilet in $#!t strewn bogs & pay £6 for a pint of weak lager. As for the perimeter wall, that was a legal requirement, as so many gatecrashers were rocking up it was getting dangerous. As for Stormzy, he is a positive role model for urban kids, to say otherwise you’d have to be an enemy of peace🕊

It was estimated that there were 250,000 on the site with somewhere in the region of 75,000 having got in without tickets. There were gangs of Scouse and Manc scallies everywhere mugging people off left right and centre, people getting dragged out of their tents and beaten, it was horrific. When I saw a lad brandishing a gun on the Sunday lunch time, I went straight back to the tent, packed it up and me, the wife and my (then) 5 year old left early. The wall HAD to go up and anybody who doesn't understand why, is nieve at best.

And although Chris Martin gets on the show every year they know how to headline. I’d like guns n roses and Elton John to get in shape to do itAnd I’d really love James Taylor and/or Carole king to do the legends slot " I’d like guns n roses and Elton John to get in shape to do it" It would be an interesting combination I agree. Can't see it happening though.

I don't care what Noel says about never sharing the stage with Liam again. At some point an offer is going to be put to them both that is simply too good to turn down. And if it goes well, especially as Liam's voice is back up to scratch right now, we may well get a farewell album out of it. At the end of the day, we're not long for this earth. They're brothers, just say fuck it and get it done, the money to be made and the worldwide attention they'll receive will be astronomical.

So. I drank water all day yesterday. Then Drove back last night left around 11:30 in at 4am. Knackerd isnt the word. Another shower later as i still dont feel 100% clean.
Lookikng back it was an amazing festival to be a part of what Michael Emily put on was thrilling.
Big shout out to The Charlatans. It was a very good set as was Vampire Weekend. First bit of Killers Excellent. Idles very good. Fatboy Slim brilliant. The Cure last night that was superb.
A name you need to look out for Absolutely ripped up the John Peel Stage. Jerry Cinnamon. Not seen him before. Went and it was awsome.
Sir David Attenborough speech. To see him and that well. Possibly the best teacher in life for me.
Highlight of the whole thing tho for me has to be CB that light sound techno masterpiece was 10/10.
To the hundreds of food stands selling everything from Burgers Nachos Greek Kebabs Tibetan food and many more to the Cider bus. That was excellent cider. The walk up the hill to look over at the whole site. The Rabbit Hole The Tree Greenpeace. Marvelous planning there isnt a festival like it. Must be 5 festivals rolled into one.
Time to try for 20/20 50 year. Possible acts id like to see for special one. Fleetwood Mac possibly is the talk that would be good.
Zeppelin Emily always said she has wanted them. So id go them and a possible Oasis reunion.
