[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

[Wozza]

It varies by stage, FBS’s Park Stage shuts down at 12:15.

I wonder if the organisers ignore the rule if a main stage act run past midnight?

Eavis has let a few run over on the Pyramid down the years, but they have to pay a fine - and offer an explaination - to Mendip Council.

Probably in no mood to do that for Del Ray given that she started late...

A trendy, cultural, two uni’s environ, which loves its music?

Agree completely. But then I think somewhere like Manchester - one of the most.musical cities in the world. Not seen one MC/MU flag all weekend!

Eavis really punished her there. She remained unperturbed, possibly unaware that Glast really enforce the cut off.

Other than the performer today with a disgusting Manure home shirt.

Scalping are on the Truth stage tonight at 2:45am. They are awesome live.

Absolutely fantastic, just got back to my tent, I am absolutely finished, but they were really really good.

If anyone knows where to download the FBS set (not video) please let me know.

What a moment this was.

That’s a big crowd, right there. Packed beyond the tree at the top of the hill.

80,000+ fans helping him out. Beautiful.

I've never been to Glastonbury. So question for regulars, do all those flags and people sitting on others shoulders get in the way? I think that would seriously piss me off.

I not been for 10 years now, but went to 9 before that. A very special festival; I actually like the flags and feel they add to the atmosphere. In the wake of flags being banned at Reading/Leeds there was talk of Glastonbury following but they decided not to.

From my era I remember there was always a flag with a toaster graphic and a Wolves flag at the Pyramid stage.

Dave Grohl guesting with a headliner at Glastonbury is becoming a bit like bands appearing on later and having Jools Holland play boogie woogie piano with them.

I've never liked G&R, but always thought that they were just very good at doing something I don't like. I've just caught the last half an hour and couldn't believe quite how bad they were.

I thought G 'N' R musically were on point, perhaps I had low expectations, Axl was awful and that's what dented the performance but Slash killed it. Worth the entrance fee alone

I tbink the last 2 days have been brilliant and varied, every act I have watched has been very good. G N R delivered a blistering set for me, ok Axel is not at the same level he once was but Slash gave one of the greatest ever Glastonbury rock guitar performances, it really a masterclass from start to finish, note perfect for 3 hours so I am surpised on the back of that some people said they were rubbish

 

[A1X]

A cosmopolitan, cultural, two uni’s environ, which loves its music?

Also quite well off in comparison.

And comparatively local, certainly to Manchester

 

[A1X]

Aitch.

Not one for me.

So he’s finally ditched Steps, then?

Absolutely fantastic, just got back to my tent, I am absolutely finished, but they were really really good.

Back to the tent after sunrise, nightmare. Good luck tomorrow!

Precisely. I saw GnR at Donnington in the 90s and they were amazing even though very much not my kind of music. Axl was majestic. Last night he sounded like a cross between Jimmy Somerville and Gary Glitter, with a mic that wasn't properly plugged in. Slash and the band were excellent. I have rarely seen such a large audience so disengaged. At Donnington it was utter swirling mayhem. A bit sad. Axl can't sing anymore. What were they thinking?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

The Astley was brilliant. As others have said, had he sung with GnR then it would have been perfect. We found the recording from the day before where he did a set of Smiths covers with the Blossoms. Absolute magic.

Those of you there, put the factor 50 on today!

Absolutely gutted....
