Always good coverage of this on the Beeb - most if not all sets available in full for the next 30 days. Just watched Lola Young and Self Esteem so far - marvellous!!
Not suggesting I'm against or for what they said but I do find it all rather crass. They come across as people who are doing it just to create media attention, which they are doing, without really understanding the intricacies. Then again it never stopped a rather orange American to do the same.
Pulp were great. The best Brit-pop band in my view. A Different Class to Oasis and Blur.
I feel like it’s hard to judge Oasis compared to the rest of Brit Pop, they kind of stand alone. But Pulp are miles better than anything else, I think His n Hers & Different Class stand up better than most of the rest of Brit Pop’s output. I remember (very) drunkenly telling an American colleague one night in New York that Common People explains British class culture in a single song, I stand by that.
Saw a bit of Gary Numan, used to like his stuff and I know he's moved on, but I disagree with the above comments as I thought it was a bit crap, especially when he wheeled out his heavily tatted and pierced daughters to nicely kill the atmos.
Sounds like the Pyramid arena is very quiet for Neil Young while people are being turned away from other stages as they’re too full
Charli should have been headlining tomorrow on the Pyramid, weird choice sticking her on the Other
Woodsies has never been busier 20 mins before a show start. Will be closed before long as crowd is insane. Tom Odell got a bumper crowd courtesy of the Scissor Sisters crowd. Am 2/3rd back in the field behind the stage’s tent and the crowd goes all the way to the back. Basically, NY on Woodsies, Charlie XCX Pyramid and Scissor Sisters Other would have met demand.

Frustratingly iPlayer seems to have died for Scissor Sisters. Other stage for Charli XCX looks the busiest I’ve ever seen on TV
Also annoyed I missed hearing any of the Kaiser Chiefs. They were on around midday & BBC only started broadcasting at 2pm. Will have to stay up to see if they make the "highlights" package later.
No just a combo of her backing track also having her vocal and the vocoder on her vocals, makes it hard to differentiate the live mic and the backing track
