[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

[Weststander]

The BBC films at five (of the 40+) stages. Some acts don't allow their performances to be recorded.

Cheers.

Very keen to see all of Sparks, Lana Del Rey and some others.

I’ve come across that before where recording onto our box is blocked

For anyone looking for new stuff I recommend Weyes Blood. Well constructed songs with a 70s feel.

Bit nervous for the boys tomorrow night but what a chance to put the Big Weekend nonsense behind them.

Sandwiched between the Foos and Arctic Monkeys will probably give them one of the biggest crowds of the weekend. What a moment! Wish I was there

Please please please let the crowd troll them by being completely silent and impassive...

Looking out for a few Brighton flags. I believe there are a couple down there with said items.

 

[HalfaSeatOn]

Are there many Brighton/Sussex acts on the stages?

 

[Wrong-Direction]

I didn’t have you down as a fan of Elton John.

Some classics

On BBC TV can we get to see any set in full live, any stage, via the red button?

As well as @Wozza has said, you can also get performances shown here .....

Royal Blood - Pyramid Stage 8.15-9.15 on Friday.

Rustington/Worthing represent.

I know they’re sadly not playing this year but don’t The Cure have Sussex links?

Think they use Brighton Electric sometimes apparently.

The Cure -- well Bob, Lol and Simon -- are from Crawley. They headlined a couple of years ago.

They're from Crawley. I saw them in Toronto last week and they didn't disappoint. They came on at 8:15 and didn't finish the (second) encore until 11.

Why don’t they use their own electric?

I’m confused why people take so much beer to Glasto. Surely people aren’t drinking warm cans of beer ?!

 

[BN9 BHA]

Warm Carling and Bud Lite…… Definitely worth it

I’ve reached the point of my life where I am happy to drink warm beer if that is all there is. I’ve basically given up.



I wouldn’t drink bud light though, at least get some f***ing stellas. (And it isn’t because I’m boycotting them over their trans views, it is because it is rats piss)

 

[Wozza]

Yeah, poor choices.

But, to be clear, they've erected (ooh-eh) an actual bed in the standard camping area.

Heroic!

(Wouldn't be great if everyone did it, mind)

Hak Baker at Strummerville this evening was absolutely brilliant.
I’ve been here since Tuesday, and it has been epically wonderful as usual.
Working tomorrow morning, then Gabriels, Fred Again and The Arctics will be my targets.
