[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

[Weststander]

Give it 10 years and Duran Duran will probably get the Sunday afternoon "amusingly riddled with dementia now" slot. Set your Betamax.

And Le Bon will still be tuneless.

 

[Bold Seagull]

He knows he’s not in a West End Club with a table service right?

 

[Insel affe]

The silence between songs currently speaks volumes.

i want to see a headline act stager out, and just bash some tunes out full throttle with passion

I’m not a massive Foo Fighters fan, don’t dislike them but they were 100 times better than what I’ve seen of the Artic Monkeys so far.

Dave Grohl has the x-factor Turner’s lacking so far. Jo Whiley’s bigged them up all day … a hazardous game.

Yep, Turner’s clearly got a better voice, but only one of them has got the crowd fully engaged.

 

[Kojakker]

Got to say they were much better at the Emirates last week.

 

[Weststander]

So cool, even Dad dancing PM’s are fans.

Agree, Foo Fighters much more entertaining, Dave Grohl comes across as a really decent bloke. Someone that is cool without trying

A natural, great last year when he joined Macca and Springsteen on stage. Charismatic.

They have said they would do it providing they get the right slot

Let's hope they never get offered it then

The Arctic Monkeys newer songs are boring and they are now playing boring versions of their older, good songs now. All rather flat and disappointing.

 

[Insel affe]

This is dirge, it’s not even melancholy, it’s not even “smiths/Morrissey“ depressingly uplifting.

 

[Bedsex]

Bored now

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am bucking the trend here not really followed the Arctic Monkeys but I am loving this. Alex Turner is a great singer and showman. I am very impressed with this set

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Foo Fighters smashed it again and Sparks were sublime

 

[Wozza]

Jo Whiley’s bigged them up all day … a hazardous game.

She’ll still be bigging them up.

“WOW! What a set!!!” Etc etc

 

[Weststander]

Turner tonight is style over substance, the crooner’s suit and toying with his bouffant. All traces of Sheffield airbrushed out, instead a jazz club vibe.

 

[Insel affe]

They just showed a clip of the front row, some young kid, probably at his first festival.

he was tapping his index finger along to the rhythm….
says it all….

people wonder why I like rockabilly & psychobilly and laugh at it….

I wish I was there, tap that kid on the back, and tell him, there’s loads more tents with far more fresh and exciting bands, singers & genres here, go find your thing, this ain’t it.
