A full Spice Girls reunion, the 5 as Posh returning rumoured for Glastonbury as well as the yearly Oasis reunion talk too
Every headliner till tonight has been no 1 in twitter trending in uk once act is over .ah SAS OR WHATEVER the feck you call her ...one with the thick thighs lol..says it all
Didnt see them listed for ATN?
Looks like the Emily Eavis era of Glastonbury will have dodgy Pyramid headliners, she was very proud that 2 of the headliners this year were female artists even though they're not at that level yet imo. We just have to accept it and thank the BBC for their great iplayer coverage.
The National are a complete borefest
Yeah they're not....dunno where I got that from 🤣🤣
I thinkthe last time I saw the prodigy was an oxegen where justice played right before them (what a night!) and my head was still linking the two.
It'd be hard to be bored with that set tonight imho. Even my wife was into it and she has the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to Glastonbury sets.
Did they show much of Justice on TV? Iplayer won't allow me to watch alas so will need to rewind
Showing pretty much the whole set on bbc4, still going.

Great performance from Fontaines.
Used to stay in on Saturday and Sunday nights to watch Glastonbury, but mother of God its fcuking brutally poor, The National are one of the worst acts I've ever heard
Top stuff from them!
Sleep is going to be quite tricky after this...
Would be great you mean, they haven't been announced for ATN.
I'm almost intrepid about hearing the follow up to Skinty Fia - will be seeing them for the fourth time in December. There is an energy and excitement when they play.
no surprise there, they completely oversell every headliner performance as being amazing
Ya, mentioned that earlier, don't know where I pulled that one from. In my head I've been looking forward to seeing them at ATN for ages 🤣
Cheers lad. Enjoying it, very much the natural successors to Daft Punk, Chemical Brothers and Orbital it seems, some rig they have!
Arguably the best band in the world right now. Certainly the best lyricist.
Starburste
I'd go for Lankum but there's certainly something in the water at the moment. That Starburster track is electric.
That Kilmainham gig recently with Mogwai was just amazing. Weather gods and Guinness helped.

What Glasto is about for me, finding new music. This lot, i'll be following. Punkish. Sleaford Mods
2024 will go down probably the worst lineup in living memory. Need to seriously think about their line up next year. Focused too much on making a point of having a woma(e)n headlining. No problem with that, but have someone, A Act that people actually know who they are, B, Can perform.
2017 still for me the best in the last 20 odd years
And one but could only dream for DM. I'd unretire my festival days
Here's a theory for the reason some artist so high up on the bill had a poor turn out:
"Ostensibly, agents and promoters should have access to data that can give them a better sense of demand. But they often place outsized importance on raw streaming numbers.
The data is very confusing,” says the anonymous booking agent. “There’s a lot of passive listeners for data. You can have millions upon millions of streams, but that doesn’t mean it’s gonna turn into tickets. The opposite is, there are some artists who don’t have many streams at all and they can sell like 2,000, 3,000 tickets.”

Festivals like Glastonbury, with such a wide variety of acts, will draw attendees from all music tastes, and a lot with none, who just want to go to the festival. With the advent of Spotify, there probably aren’t as many giant acts as there used to be, and those that are, have mostly headlined before. My understanding is that SZA (I thought she was brutal too, not because of her music as that is subjective, but because she didn’t get the crowd going at all) was headlining due to someone else pulling out. Let’s be fair, the only two female artists who could carry the Sunday headline are Beyoncé and TS. I would have liked to see Oasis reform for a headline spot, maybe they will in the future, DM possibly wouldn’t resonate with a lot of the younger crowd, though the show would be great, in all probability there would also be complaints if they got the last spot.
SZA's fans adored her performance. Swiftian devotion down the front. Most of them young women/teenagers that had the night of their lives. Bad news is that there was only a few 1000 of them here tops. Festival bookers relying on streaming data is a problem. SZA would have been perfect on the West Holts tonight. Glasters should have bumped Simbi to headliner when Madonna pulled out.
Also the National are a total snoozefest.
Felt sorry for SZA. She's in Malahide Wednesday. I'm sure she'll get the love there.
Find it closer to home……

Yeah she said she was terrified. Few v strange bookings/schedulings by the production team here this year.
