Not a topic for this thread but I'll keep bringing it up.
Did the free speech thread get shut down?
Yes - and deleted. Not sure exactly why though, it was simmering as I went to bed and when I woke up it was gone! Shame because it was a reasonably well-mannered discussion with all sides airing their views.
Watched a fair bit on Friday. Quite liked English Teacher (never heard of them), Wet Leg were brilliant, Supergrass, Blossoms and Biffy great too. 1975 were boring as fuck though. How long did it take the lead singer to drink that pint of "Guinness" too ffs?! Missed Saturday as i was out with my boy all day and only caught the prodigy last night, who absolutely nailed it! Wish they'd done a few older songs, but it looked and sounded amazing. Going to try and watch some stuff on iplayer. Particularly osees, but loads of other recommendations on this thread that I'll have a look at too. Jealous of those who were there.

Not Glastonbury but I saw Simple Minds at Lincoln Castle last night. Excellent performance, tight band and old Jim's voice is strong. It's a superb venue with a long list of summer concerts by all types. Supported by China Crisis to reinforce the 80s feel.
Great. More Minds fans on here than I'd thought. The recent film about them "Everything is Possible" is well worth a watch, better than I expected. There's something very touching about Jim and Charlie's story, they first me as 8 year old kids in the Gorbals. I'm not aware of any other such a long "mates" partnership at the top end of the rock world.
Enjoyed Olivia Rodrigo last night - thought she was a class act.
Only recognised one of her songs but still enjoyed it. Refreshing after all the bile broadcast on Saturday.
Never heard of her until last night. Her music was pretty good and she plays multiple instruments and sings well. Also, she’s serious eye candy - bloody hell.

They've never done Glastonbury though, have they?
Just the set list you'd want, I think. Me and Mrs Idle both guessed Waterfront to be the opener, honours even.

Someone's using that lyric in the next Glasto...
I am now to compose a tune in my head for it ..but more apt as a line from breaking bad
Man, watching the Ezra Collective set. So joyous. Can't believe I've had the privilege of jamming with some of those guys, just before they properly broke out.

I didn't watch much of Glastonbury, but did see Ezra Collective. I've never heard of them, but thought they were great.

They were my next highlight. The music, energy and feeling was brilliant. Envious of you having played alongside them.

Olivia Rodrygo was good - would never of had her down as a headliner at Glasto though
Looked up some of the Neil Young songs as I said I had never heard of any of them - only Heart of Gold rang a bell for me
Watched first 3 songs of Wet Leg after recommendations on here. Found the songs a bit meh but she seemed a good front(wo)man for the band.

was he a c@@t there as well
Like Kasabian without Tom.
So even more so fair play to him.
That said they did show Rod Stewart which was a pleasant surprise.
Though for me Pulp (who were mainly a 90s band) were the highlight for me that I saw.

Shame my favourite singers from that decade are mostly dead now although Eddie Vender is oohhh I ooohhh is still alive.
