I’ve done some frantic Friday night flicking between stages over the years but wow, Jungle, IDLES, Fontaine DC, Jaime XX and Dia Lipa is some clash

Feels like a set choreographed very much for tv. Appreciate it must be hard as solo artist - but doesn’t feel like the people there are getting much from it.

Can't they play on Monday after it's closed?
Going up to Sheffield at the end of September for the Float Along day festival, Shame, Fat Dog, Scaler, Borough Council, loads of my favourite bands.
Idles were absolutely fantastic. Much tighter and controlled than I expected. the passion and sincerity....Mrs T, previously not a fan, was similarly moved. We both love Wire, the Birthday Party and Gang of Four, apparently Idles sort of influences.
Idles fans, check out Protomartyr on youtube. Protomartyr have probably given me more poptastic joy than any band over the last 5 years. Tonight's Idles set was very . . . . Protomartyric (with added English and Politics and a certain amount of damage).

Yep. What a set. All My Friends looked biblical. Imagine being in that field, with the sun shining down, singing “I wouldn’t trade one stupid decision, for another five years of life” along to LCD. Magic.
Edit. For those who haven't seen it, see below!

I’ll catch up with Glastonbury today, starting with LCD Soundsystem I think.
I have always felt James Murphy is a very underrated lyricist. His words, subject matter and stories are often so clever. Apart from the more obvious tracks I love I Can Change, and Losing My Edge is like a modern take on Sympathy for the Devil in both words and music.

Listen to me!!!
Dua Lipa nothing special at all. All the media hyping it just because a female is headlining. It used to be huge worldwide stars headlining but not now.

Yeah it was tough to keep up with last night!!
You can debate the quality of her music but what I feel isn’t up for debate is her not being a “huge worldwide star”. Her Future Nostalgia album from 2021 was multi-platinum in at least 16 counties including 2 times in the UK and 4 times in the US. It’s the 3rd biggest selling album of this decade worldwide. That’s big.
Look on the bright side: at least it stops Coldplay headlining all three nights.

You obviously do not know how successful Dua Lipa currently is. Also, who in your opinion is currently a worldwide star worthy of headlining? Taylor Swift perhaps?
).
Led Zeppelin maybe?

I listen to BBC6 everyday and am sick of Glastonbury this and Glastonbury that fgs. Everywhere I go all I see and hear is that living hell. The last concert I went to was the last Jam concert at the Brighton Centre a few years ago.
I love Deadletter, Sprintz, Idles, English Teacher, CMAT etc but am made to feel I’m a second class citizen because I HATE festivals.
Am I alone ? Rant over.

Still thought they were excellent - though they shoulda ended with Too Real.
