Glastonbury 22

Spice Girls to headline next year?

Herbie Hancock on now. Only caught half of it when they showed it live. Real good stuff.

I’m on the PSBs now. Nice to see a band bring their own street lamp. Hardly any do.

PS Seems to be a Pet Shop Boy, singular. Doesn’t seem to make any difference to productivity at all, so I hope the missing one has a good trade union.

what a pile o' cack.

Great review from an expert. Please tell us who spits your fav bars?

The finale of Kendrick’s set was quite something!

I watched live yesterday, and the finale was spine tingling. Great show, the dancers really avoided the weaknesses that affect a lot of live Hip Hop shows.

 

[Marchbanks]

Got Kendrick on now. It’s impressive, it’s powerful but I have no clue what he’s on about.

I feel that way about Wagner.

 

[Tony L]

I feel that way about Wagner.

…and it takes so, so long to figure out that out.

Spice Girls to headline next year?

Why not? It’s all about the ability to put on a live show.

Years & Years very good as well. I’ve been guilty of some eye rolling with the whole LGBT+ thing being pushed so heavily. But that was mainly around my belief that the battle for equality has been won.

The rise of religious fascism in America, and recent murders in a gay club jolted me out of that. The freedoms gay people enjoy now, would be swiftly removed if some people got their way.

In that context, the need for pride and resistance is vital. So the dancers in the Years & Years show were fantastic.

Watching Jack White now - just superb - band as tight as a gnats chuff - Drummer rather excellent!

Just watched some Amyl and The Sniffers, cracking stuff, she is mad as a box of frogs and all the better for it.

Roisin Murphy is now doing a good job of being the rave Stevie Nicks.

Roisin is a goddess, and can do no wrong.

Just watching the rest of the PSBs set and given comments upthread about elderly pop stars Neil Tennant not only still hits the notes, but sounds far younger than his 67 years doing so.

I was surprised he was as old as that when I looked it up on Sunday, moves like a younger man too. Ageing well like a fine wine Where's Jez when you need a PSB comment?

 

[Robn]

PSB were majestic.

Most of it is talking tbf. Sprechgesang being the in-vogue term. They were good though.

i was so impressed - he was getting a little ragged towards the end of the set. The crowd look deliriously happy. We bought tickets to their wembley gig in 2023

Of what I saw, Yves Tumor was the best https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0c827lg/glastonbury-yves-tumor

As Louis Armstrong said ‘All music is folk music. I never heard a horse sing a song.’

If only he'd lived long enough to hear Celine Dion.

I'm always looking forward to the electronic acts but after seeing Chemical Brothers, Justice on previous Glasto's I think this year was pretty flat.
I did like Confidence Man and strangely really enjoyed Crowded House.
