Billy Eilish at Glastonbury

[1finny]

Music is subjective, so some acts not for everyone. Personally, thought it was a bit "meh" yesterday. The BBC coverage is shyte so limited to catching bits from bands I like.
Billy Eilish? Not my cup of tea, but she and the crowd looked like they had a good time so job done

You know you can stream live from any of 4 stages on I player from 14.00?

In fairness to the good folk of fmttm there was a thread earlier on in the week where presumably mostly middle aged men were raving about the new Harry Styles album

So might be a more open minded group when it comes to music than we give ourselves credit for.

Hang on I was one of those but - don’t call me middle aged
I’m frickin auld


Saturday at Glasto is all about Black Midi and Big Thief for me

Yu

I'll be giving kendrick lamarr a miss on Sunday to..hoping iplayer will have pet shop boys on at the same time

You'll be missing what promises to be a superb show. Kendrick speaks facts, eloquently and to the point.

Really?? WL set came across flat as fook on telly

I put them on as I’d heard good stuff but must agree it felt completely flat on tv.

Saying that I’ve been to festivals and seen bands and thought they sounded amazing when I was in the crowd, watched the exact same set back on tv later and thought it sounded terrible and the crowd dead.

 

[Bristolboro]

I did 5 minutes of Billy wotsit with my 9 year old and then went off to listen to Joy Division. I'm happy now.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Listened to Haim earlier who were great as always.

Putting up with Noel Gallagher for now until Sir Paul at 10:30.

 

[Pak_Doo_Ik]

Putting up with Noel, love it.

He’s just had the whole crowd singing along with a bloody b side

 

[RotherhamBoro]

I've got Yungblud on, putting on a great show.

 

[Alexander Supertramp]

Why do they have a 1 hour delay on bbc for showing the headliners??

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Putting up with Noel, love it.

He’s just had the whole crowd singing along with a bloody b side

The highlight of this set for me was the bloke who was stood up on someone’s shoulders during Wonderwall and BBC captured him falling over

 

[nowthen]

The highlight was the Tory & Prince Andrew flags.

Crowded House spoiled for me when some bratty kid was encouraged to scream down a mic.

Thought Sigrid was really good, never heard of her before.

 

[BoroMart]

I quite enjoy her stuff. She dares to be different and that means she won’t be for everyone.

She’s a 20 year old kid headlining Friday night at Glastonbury, regardless of what us middle aged blokes on our sofas think of her, clearly she has a massive fan base (just maybe we aren’t her target demographic!)

I'm not sure it's about 'being different', I think it's more a lack of melody and intelligible lyrics that people are finding find.

I like to give young peoples music a go, but was a bit bored, didn't find her to have any real discernable talent. Prefered Phoebe Bridges of the youngsters generation

 

[rkangel]

First Aid Kit have been my favourite of the day. Hardly a surprise, especially covering one of my unsung favourites, "Boys of Summer".

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

I've got Yungblud on, putting on a great show.

Watching him now on BBC1, always very good live

 

[BoroMart]

regardless of what us middle aged blokes on our sofas think of her, clearly she has a massive fan base

So does Hanson and Justin Beiber.....you can't trust the masses to discern talent.

If the kids enjoy or her then fair play to them, I wouldn't pish on their chips, but on a personal level I fail to see any real interesting musicality in what she is doing

Why do they have a 1 hour delay on bbc for showing the headliners??

Apparently

This is at Macca's insistence, as is the lack of a UHD stream.

 

[Philly-Red]

Went to put McCartney on but when I saw the delay I watched St Vincent’s set instead. Brilliant, well worth checking out for anyone that hasn’t seen it.

Yep, no shots tighter than Macca plus guitar.

No single shots from the track below looking up on Macca either.

 

[HundredRoom]

I think these are garbage too.

Mad how subjective music is isn’t it?

No they are not garbage - garbage are that scottish band
