Tom Walker is pretty good

Home for the weekend.

By chance... I had my Foo fighters t shirt from the olympia gig 17 years ago in the bag. Just put it on absolutely buzzing from that set.

to be fair Glastonbury was founded on alternative - hippy/punk bands - Hawkwind etc - not large scale American rock - perhaps that what I struggle with - as a festival it has gone downhill , musically for me - but there is much else to still love there.

I'd say Glasto's more recent headliners are more of a reflection on the current music scene rather than the festival itself.

hullabulloo

Got "big me" at slane two years ago much better gig *gets coat. On TV looked class anyone there care to report? tomorrow afternoon obv, for those who haven't been, die or go to glasto just once.

Alt J on now, I like them but for me it seems like everything else from the weekend will pale in comparison to what we seen from the Foos just now..
Open to suggestions for some other great sets to check out from the event

Check out Stormzy's set on the web. I wouldn't call myself a fan but I was very impressed by the energy and the crowd were going mental.

Not a huge FF fan meself but their music is purpose built for this type of event. Thought the Radiohead performance was a case of shock and awe with a barrage of fancy lights but lacked substance.

Similar to Radiohead last night, even if you don't particularly like their music, the talent shines through and that's something that has to be respected.

An excellent set.

Phoenix were brilliant on the John Peel stage as well.

For me I think Grohl as a frontman and the bands live performances are greater than some of their songs at times. Loved that gig but wouldn't be a fan of the albums as much. I don't brush my teeth.

This.

The live show is greater than the albums showcase them. Down to the energy Dave puts in a show, it's relentless and brilliant.

No point comparing Foos and Radiohead. FWIW I preferred last night, but variety is the spice of life and talk about a fantastic 2 headline shows!

Weird that they cancelled the 3rd night this year but those 2 make up for it

It's not a case of "either/or" for Radiohead and Foo Fighters.... as the meme says.. why not both?

One of the best bands still touring atm,
The foos live show is an absolute tour de force.

Radiohead were damn damn good, but that set was unbelievable!

as I said don't get it - loved Nirvana , love the Queens , - TBH the Saturday and Sunday lineup has left me pretty flat - Friday was what rocked my boat all round..
