    Not for me.

    No doubt he's talented but just don't like his stuff.

    The likes of Galway Girl is just as cheesy as you can get.

    Had stream problems on Moderat so clicked on London Grammar on John Peel stage randomly to see if the problem went away.

    Blown away by them, great stuff, the lead singer's vocals are amazing. Soaring vocals a bit like Florence and the Machine.

    Never heard of them before, mind you I am beyond out of touch at this stage.

    Love when you stumble onto something amazing at Glastonbury. Same happened with me with Todd Terje in 2015.

    Just finishing up now but worth a gawk if ye are looking for something.

    Will check out Justice now, should be fairly banging.

    After every year of watching this on tv I think I'd have to go but I just don't think I can cope with the scale of it. Like the trip from the campsite on a Monday morning of electric picnic to the car park is tough enough!!! I see it's not on next year so 2019 maybe!

    The last time they played at electric picnic I went to see them grudgenly as had no interest, her voice is incredible. I was blown away. Would deffo recommend them for anyone going to ep this year

    Not me. He's a talented lad but his music couldn't be more bland. As someone on boards so eloquently put it "he's for the housewife who buys 2 cd's a year".

    Any recommendations for tonight? Thinking Justice as not really into Sheeran and Boy better know doesn't sound like my thing either.

    Metronomy are playing at the John Peel stage. I'll be flicking between them and Justice.

    Not my kinda thing at all at all.

    Would want the main act of a Glasto type even to be a rock band, plain and simple

    Not my cup of tea at all but to be fair its only him and his guitar, very daunting I'd say.

    The fact that the crowd are into it is surprising.

    I agree, he's fairly bland but would have a draw from the younger crowd. Probably should have swapped him with Biffy, they would have closed the weekend in style.

    Well I'm not a fan and I'm watching. Can't help but think it's totally out of syncs with the rest of the festival. Two spectacular sets from the Friday and Saturday headliners and we are left with a glorified busker for the Sunday night.

    Anyway the crowd seem to be enjoying it so far.

    I don't know how he gets away with this one man band lark it's a farce. And the only musical instrument he plays is a tiny twangy guitar with no tone!! It boggles the mind!

    Yikes the crowd looks a bit dead.

    Appreciate that Ed Sheeran is talented and has dominated the radio / streams over the past few months but it's all a bit meh for a Sunday headliner @ Glastonbury.

    Well his fans are not normally up this late and they have school tomorrow.

    God he's crap. The people at work wouldn't believe me when I said I didn't know any of his songs recently but I don't listen to music radio so I honestly don't know any of them so I thought I'd tune in to see what the fuss is about. A headliner at Glastonbury ffs, he's just so bland.

    Each to their own
    Not a fan but he is doing well
    People are knackered Sunday evening so he is a good fit for a chill out

    Ed is killing the crowd in a bad way. Sounds dead. Full of glo sticks and kids. Guitar almost sounds out of tune
