    Switched over to this afternoon's coverage which I had recorded, first up is Rag N'Bone man and he's instantly 100 times better than the ginger Chris de Burgh.

    I think you have missed something. All his stuff and live gigs are based around loopers and samplers (and phasers and octavers).

    He IS the full band.

    I haven't missed anything.

    The key thing is that at a festival the size of glasto they have how many different stages / tents with other bands/djs on. Don't like ed go and see some else. Don't like ed don't watch thee coverage on TV.

    go on ED!!

    Hes killing it, crowd is loving it. After Friday nights snore fest headliner and last nights epic headliner, its a fitting closing to this year.

    I'd more compare it to dining on fine cheese and wine for the Friday and Saturday and closing on Sunday with some easi singles and TK red lemonade.

    Exactly.

    Its actually sad. Sitting watching this on a sunday night and slagging it on an internet forum. I'm sure Ed and his millions of fans give a feck what ye think. They're all having a blast right now.

    Do something constructive right now instead kids

    He's a decent musician but not suited to this slot at all.

    Bands who would have done a far better job:

    GnR
    Biffy Clyro
    Queens of the stone age
    Pearl Jam
    Noel Gallagher
    Stone Roses
    Robbie / Take that
    Elton John
    Fleetwood Mac
    Queen
    Depeche Mode

    Elton John headlining the final night at Glastonbury would be epic.

    Should have been swapped with Biffy. Nice dude and admire his work ethic but it's as bland as a bread sandwich.

    Jesus get over it, we like slating famous people! I'm really enjoying having it on, everyone looks to be having a good time and it's pleasant to see. I still think his music is a snooze fest. But I'm going to leave it on for now!

    Ed knows his target audience and said target audience seems to be having a great time. It's like me going to a cricket game and complaining it's crap. I love sport, I don't like cricket.

    Part of the problem is that (for me at least) there isn't a whole lot of interest on any of the stages to close the festival. No issue with Ed as headliner but the quality across the stages isn't there for me (I know everyone's tastes are different, just personally)

    It's bizzare the way the guitars won't stay in tune for a song! Is he playing cheap pieces of crap?
