I really enjoyed Wet Leg, Arlo Parks and of course Supergrass. I didn’t know a lot about Billie Eilish, I was impressed with her performance, not my kind of music but what a show…
Quite enjoyed Sam Fender. His face lit up when the crowd sang back 17 & Under to him. Jesus & Mary Chain were excellent and Primal Scream were superb after a slow start. Will try and catch up with a few others over the next few days.
khruangbin, Foals, J&MC and Supergrass probably my stand outs from day one, about to catch up with Blossoms and Crowded House then settle in for a day of live music.
I have to admit that I'd never heard of her before tonight, but I was surprised at how good Billie Eilish was. She's written some fine songs there.
I understand that she's the youngest ever headliner and I suppose that Paul will be the oldest ever tomorrow.
It's great to have Glastonbury back.
Not trying to make you feel bad Jimmy but she sang the last Bond movie theme - it has 80 million views on Youtube.
No need to worry about making me feel bad - I don't care. In fact I just listened to her this lunchtime and her recordings sound annoying. She sings in what I call this trendy 'fake emotion' tone that I find grating. This is probably why until now I've never listened to her songs. If I hear artists with this 'fake emotion' singing where they try to sound like they're in permanent emotional pain then I turn off. Last night however, she sang in a normal voice.
Confidence man, blossoms and crowded house were really good. Not heard the first two before but impressed.
wolf alice, hmm. I like rock but that was lacking any kind of hook, all sounded very bland.
billy eilish - didn’t do anything for me, a bit bland like wolf alice.
Wolf Alice musically are great live but Im not keen on Ellie's live vocals, definitely a case of she sounds better on the albums, very similar to Ian Brown and Tim Burgess, both great on the records but I've never been keen on either live.
I record the music festivals and then you can fast forward as appropriate. I thought it was all pretty rank yesterday. Isle of Wight festival last week (might still be available on Sky) was miles better in my mind, but it's all about personal likes.
I’m watching Olivia Rodrigues. Never heard of her but I’m loving the energy between her & the crowd. Theres some wee girls on shoulders who are never going to forget that. Its like the Spice Girls but with proper musicians. Brilliant 🤩

I thought it was good, creative and atmospheric and excellent musicianship.
Not sure what the young would make of it.

New school Motown maybe?
