    Not an Arctic Monkeys fan and found what I’ve seen of this has been quite boring. Maybe I’m too old for it. Playing their decent song now -Bet that you look Good on the dance floor.

    Sums it up. Not a fan but I always admired the tightness and urgency of dancefloor and they've turned it into a dirge

    God, he's just ruining it. Can't believe this is what he's turned into.

    There is no great stage effects here, why?? The big circle behind them is a bit crap. I went to verve at Slane in ‘98 and thought the stage effects were amazing? The purple colors and videos really increased the trippy feeling from the great music.

    Enjoyed that but of what I saw today Warpaint were the winners for me. Something about their live sound. That bass and drum.

    Where was when the sun goes down??

    I know Glastonbury is a "magical place" but paying all that money and all that transit and sweat and muck to see Lizzo in a field on a Saturday night... no.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,808 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    That was pretty brutal in fairness. Too boring, so zip, no crowd, yawn.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,876 ✭✭✭bokale


    Imo if you were at Glastonbury tomorrow night And went to lizzo instead of all the other options then that's on you :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 124 ✭✭sp00k


    Just as well people got their money back this week, that was not good...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,397 ✭✭✭crl84


    Yeah, it's not like there's about 90 other stages you could go to.....



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,808 ✭✭✭Man Vs ManUre


    At least it was not raining like the Friday night U2 headlined their elevation tour.

    According to Spotify I'm in the top 1% of am fans and I must say that was terrible. Setlist, I dislike half those songs. Was in Glastonbury 2013 10 rows from the front after the am album came out and it was an experience. Had tickets for marlay park and when they cancelled I was actually relieved. Not how you should feel when your favourite band cancels.

    Anyway, moving on. Was at pinkpop in Holland last weekend.

    Forget: irish festivals

    Emabrace: the lathums

    Watched the highlights of Kelis there...looked like a great show, she covered a lot of genres and styles, I was pleasantly surprised!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,289 ✭✭✭rino87


    Hot Chip seem a bit tame?? Their ATN show is right up there in my top gigs to have been at.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,027 ✭✭✭lbj666


    I haven't been but I just think hanging around the back of the pyramid and other stage for the main acts while so much else is on elsewhere is an absolute waste. Unless it's something really special like maca last year.

    If you really wanted to see this year's headliners theres been plenty other ways see them...with probably a better view to.

    But then I suppose there needs to be somewhere to keep the general masses while everyone is having their fun away from them, flys to shite and all that .



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,466 ✭✭✭Royale with Cheese


    I went 10 years ago and I think the only act I watched at the main stage all weekend was the Rolling Stones, I'd say most people have a similar experience. I didn't go out of my way to avoid the pyramid stage, there's just so much else going on you have to make a point of going there.

    So you missed Mudford and sons? Smileys☺️
