Glastonbury 2024 (7 Viewers)

I don’t know what it is exactly about The Idles, I feel like I should like them but I don’t.
i saw them a couple of years back. During the gig the lead singer angrily read out a bad review they’d received which described them as derivative, I think I agreed with it.
I was irritated this time by him shouting out “fuck the king” or something. Like an angry 6th former!

I watched Coldplay last night. I’ve never liked them and haven’t kept up with their music. Quite a show, though I think they were shite and Chris Martin strikes me as being an arse!

And so ends my Sunday moan. I do enjoy stuff, honest.

I've seen Idles live 3 times and they're a great live band. Going again in December.
Caught covid the last time so hopefully no repeat of that!

My mate told me about Confidence Man last night and said they were well worth a listen.

Never heard of them so going to try and catch up with them today.

Sleaford mods cover of pet shop boys is worth checking out.
...and Orbital still manage to teleport me back to a middle of a field somewhere in Hampshire. Rave on.

Some great bands there this year. Would love to see the go team!

Go Team are at Godiva this year

Apart from last time they were at Glastonbury and he burst into tears when the crowd went mad for Danny Nedelko!

Worth watching on YouTube to see the contrast of the guitarist crowd surfing in his pants while the lead singer is in tears

Thank you for this. Didn’t know too much about Idles but I’ve watched that YT clip countless times since reading this last night. So much going on, so much emotion and what a song too.

Listened to a playlist of theirs while on a run this morning - excellent running music!

Anyway, booked into see them in December now. Albeit not sure it’s one for my partner to join me for!

Used to really like them.

Their downhill slide into mediocrity and safeness has been incredible though, in my humble opinion.

And there are so many people who feel the same.

In fairness, I think they did develop a new audience through the change they made, but I do now find them incredibly bland and the first time I heard that K-pop collaboration, I thought, what the f*ck have you done to yourselves. I think it is a truly dreadful record. Shocker. 🫣

That’s fair. Circa 2005 was peak Coldplay. A rush of blood to the head is one of my favourite ever albums

Great fun tonight, Skinner was on good form

Sen him live a couple of times but I think that performance was better than either of the times I've seen him.

Shania Twain serious MILF but she sounds horrendous

Hasn't she reached Gilf status yet?

 

[wingy]

She's deffo dosed up on something!!

 

[wingy]

Shit kickers paradise this!!

 

[Tommo1993]

Shania Twain has gone down like a lead balloon. Seemed an ideal time to catch up on Coldplay - a proper artist still capable of selling millions upon millions. As expected, a great set.

Just read she had surgery on her vocal cords after catching lymes disease.
Not seen her set but if its as bad as everyones saying perhaps that was her cue to call it a day.

I watched thought it was ok tbf but I don't know what people expect.

Seasick Steve to the rescue yet again of an ever increasing shitfest.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

Who the hells this scissor that can't spell closing the pyramid stage. It's been a shit lineup this year.

 

[Otis]

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

That bird from London Grammar has lovely white teeth.

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

That crowd for scissor is probably the smallest I've ever seen at the pyramid stage.

 

[Sick Boy]

A Rush of Blood to the Head is still a really good album imo, but yeah the weird dance/disco route they've taken since is pretty unbearable to listen to.

I bet they're probably more popular and well known now though globally, especially after doing a song with a K-Pop group

I’m not really a fan of their but I saw them around 2001 for the Radio 1 event in Leicester and they did an extended encore after it had gone off air, they were excellent.

 

[CCfC2023]

The Go Team are on at Godiva at 4.30pm Saturday main stage

 

[nicksar]

Hasn't she reached Gilf status yet?

Was my initial thought as well

 

[chiefdave]

That crowd for scissor is probably the smallest I've ever seen at the pyramid stage.

The crowd for Avril is the biggest I've seen for a non Pyramid act. God knows why she isn't on Pyramid when she's on a tour thats arenas and festival headlines.

Looking on twitter they had to shutdown entry as it was getting dangerous and there's people rammed into the nearest campsite and on the old railway track trying to just get close enough to listen.

It's a very overrated festival. Sound quality is terrible. Crowd are shit.

There's much better out there.

It's now full of people who are more concerned with making an instagram post than the actual festival.

Unfortunately that has permeated many aspects of life along with bloggers and youtubers.

We also have a world of amateur sleuth, crime-solving podcasters, full of theories and conclusion jumping deductions.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Not sure if I'm reading into it too much as this thread has made me aware of the festival a bit more, but there seems to be loads of people online moaning about their experiences. People were rude, mass overcrowding, sound quality shit. Etc etc.

Can't say I'm surprised at all.
