Glastonbury 2013 coverage - across the BBC!

Welsh Megaman

The Beeb always deliver the goods when covering Glasto - across all their channels all over the weekend.

www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury

Fingers crossed, we will get to see the Rolling Stones too.

Can't beat Glasto on the Beeb,

I'm looking forward to Chic at 11.05pm on BBC Four tonight.

That Prof. Green INXS thing was actually alright. In sharp contrast to the rest of his set

mollser

Prof Green, seriously? All cover versions and very weak vocally, he's a chancer.

Enjoying enter shikari, probably the loudest band on the line up and not a tattoo to be seen, I like it!

Skid X

Some of those flags in the crowd are a ridiculous size (at the Seasick Steve stage).

Great for finding your friends, but very inconsiderate to the people behind you.

The Beeb actually complained about the flags a few years ago as it was restricting the view for some of their cameras at the sound desk!

Personally, I have no problems with the giant Welsh flag in front of Dizzee Rascal!

So, Prof Green sitting on the couch lets it 'slip' that Miles will be joining Arctic monkeys on stage.

Who? Must have heard that wrong I thought, who the fock is Miles?

So here I am watching miles kane on the red button, look him up and see he's a pal of Alex Turner. Ok, I like the cut off him, but the crowd clearly don't know anything by him.

So he'll get to play on main stage later on with the monkeys.

How much do these fellas pay bbc for this kind of promotion?

dizzie rascal can rock the place! Not my cup of tea but it's eelectric stuff!

To be fair, Alex Turner and Miles Kane are/were in the same band

Serious question...is Rolf Harris playing this year?

That was one my favourite albums ever . They should combine together more often .

When I went to Glastonbury in 2000, an absolutely huge crowd turned out to see him tie kangaroos down. Will be the first time in about 20 years that he hasn't made it.

Even more than went to see Jack L?

I hope Rolf is innocent.

ScummyMan

The Vaccines sounding really good, can't wait to see them in Phoenix Park.

ScummyMan

Arctic Monkeys just starting now for anyone interested.

Welsh Megaman

Nile and Chic on BBC4 shortly...rumours circulating all day that Daft Punk will join him to perform 'Get Lucky'.

Or at a push, Linda Martin!

Skid X

I found a stage listing for the weekend

http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/

Unreal amount of acts playing over the weekend - you would go mad trying to get around and see all your favourites.

Skid X

Nile Rodgers is pure class.

The BBC documentary about him, 'Hitmaker' is a must watch

Banner12

Is the BBC sound very fuzzy or have my ears packed in ? Regardless I'm stuck to the couch for the w/end. Frightened Rabbit very good.

Colonialboy

Bloody hell the Artic monkeys are gooooodddddd.

mollser

Think Arctic monkey's are putting on a good stint great songs, something just lacks with them tho. Almost bland on stage or something?
But I think it's a terrific set they're doing, delighted to see them really rocking the place

Edit **** that they're awesome band delighted for them!

Welsh Megaman

Looking forward to the Rolling Stones tomorrow, whatever BBC manage to show.

MagicMarker

Monkeys must have spent a fortune on image consultants.

I agree...
I think its always hard for a 'independant' band to play the Pyramid stage, I like the some old some new set, its not a best off .
I think it will send them back to their tents happy.
Leave them with a more subtle but a longer lasting buzz than some big name pop-rock best of.
Putting the alternative back in Glastonbury..

"For all those fellas out there who were just too cool to wave their arms for Pretty Visitors chorus....this ones for your girlfriend
I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor..."
nearly spewed my tea...one of the best song intros ive ever heard...
things are hotting up..

Jax Teller

Alex Turner has changed big time ,Seems a lot more confident on the stage .

Carroller

"Pipe down pipe down!"

Skid X

Portishead - Glory box . Still a dark moody epic song.

Ruudi_Mentari

Who was that band, the Horrors?!!

lol. What a fcuking amalgamation of 80s post punk bands verging on goth rock. I dunno how they get away with it but if that's what they feel...

I'm with them. and that Nile Rodgers is he on some sort of Egyptian / Illuminati trip, what a big girls house. Wrote his share of disco classics best suited to women; the guy needs to fcuk off but no, people will roll out the red carpet for him whilst Linda Martin covers his daft punk song shìt acts; for the most part roll on the stones.

unkymo

Arctic Monkeys were brilliant, loved that version of Mardy Bum. I can't wait to see them at Electric Picnic.

Also Seasick Steve was brilliant, himself and John Paul Jones from Led Zep sounded fantastic!

Tssk

Hi there was a guy singing live with a piano player (Rich) on the bbc around 1015 tonight?anyone got his name?

Ruudi_Mentari

I think the fact that an arctic monkeys fan had a massive Pedobear banner says a lot

and it was that big, i couldn't see the stage for the bear. What's up with that

It might have been John Newman, maybe?

Ruudi_Mentari

also seasick steve's new guitar was interesting, but that's about it for me. wtf are the "arctic monkeys" supposed to be about btw, total bollix n I've suffered em twice in the same headline slot now. It's actually boring their studio 'dynamism' doesn't translate to the live setting, quelle surprise.

The Gibzilla

I thought Arctic Monkeys really nailed it last night. The set had a good blend of their material and they really played like a great rock band. I thought Turner's 'band leader' character was pretty decent and he'd good crowd interaction. Good opening headliner.

It was good to see John-Paul Jones with Seasick Steve even though I'm not a big fan of the latter.

Ruudi_Mentari

Is a coup for seasick Steve but what does JPJ get out of it? Not particularly musically engaging.. maybe it just pays well, and some adulation as he looks content enough to not have to do much

Looking forward to the headline slot tonight. Fcuking stones, they don't come no bigger nor older

Or, shock horror, he just enjoys it? They play together often.

Technocentral

Watching it on BBC iplayer as they show the full sets with no inane "presenter" crap, Portishead, Django Django and Dinosaur Jr where all fantastic last night, Tom Tom Club were pretty funk to.

Mick Murdock

Just watching the AM on Youtube now. Cool lads, not into the new look though.

Conchir

Can anyone tell me what channel and time the Rolling Stones will be on? Can't find it anywhere online or in the TV listings.

Mick Murdock

Pretty sure they said half 10 on BBC2 as they went off air..

They also said live for an hour. Pretty sure they show the full gigs on the red button or sometimes on BBC4. Don't have access to either the mo.

Swan Curry

Does anybody know what the first song Portishead did last night was,I had never heard them before and I thought it was brilliant.

the Stones are only allowing them to show an hour of the show, similar to Neil Young a couple of years ago only allowed 5 songs to be broadcast because he believed in the live event retaining it's mystery whereas the Stones are releasing a DVD this year and full coverage of one of their gigs would impact on sales

That was 'Silence'. First track on Third.

Good stuff from Two Door Cinema Club at the moment on BBC Three.

tommyboy2222

Example is a really poor singer

Welsh Megaman

The Strypes played a good set - lead singer taking fashion tips from Bobby Gillespie!

One of the Great bands but stuff like this really pisses me off.. Mick might be an old sod but he's still as money hungry as ever.

Trying to make up for his tiny todger.

Primal Scream Version 2013 - wrong in every possible way.

Here we go!
