    Christ could it be more down beat. A huge Saturday night crowd and you want to get everyone dancing. How about a speech about the 2 girls going to England for an abortion followed by the most depressing song ever written.

    Glastonbury was the same. Main stage Saturday night and a crowd ready to go mad. How about Adele doing that ballad about her ex?

    For fcuk sake is this what festivals have come to?

    Jesus gavin James is unbearable.

    The most whiny of the current crop of boring, whingy singer song writers right now (worse than ed sheeran and that takes some going).

    I love Bell x1 when I hear them on the radio, but they sound really flat live. It's like there's something missing? Can't quite put my finger on it.

    It's like there's some parts of the track missing. Are their studio albums very overproduced, and they struggle to replicate them live?

    its live music on an open stage in the middle of a field v studio recorded music. Of course its different!

    Not a massive fan but thought they sounded good there.

    Is it just me or is the sound for all the acts terrible. You could barely hear the music behind those two rappers. Bell x1 sounded really low too
