Depends on the stage.

Was Lenny Henry talking about the crowd or the acts?

He was talking about the crowd.

Glastonbury really isnt very accessible nor attractive for a lot of people. The acts, the cost, the location, the difficulty in obtaining tickets.

It's a bastard to get to at the best of times.


Impossible when Man City are playing at home.

Christ,  people seem to be getting very sensitive over a simple observation.

[Elmo!]

I'm not sure why Glastonbury should be singled out for criticism for the demographics of the audience. It's broadly the same reasons you won't find many black people in the audience at Wimbledon or the Six Nations etc.

Way worse at both of those than Glastonbury.

Years & Years set is pretty wild.

Mike Read would be turning in his grave.

*Checks Wiki to see if he's dead

Thanks. Yeah maybe. I've never been but I tend to agree with Ziggy Marley, I don't think it's a big thing. Acts wise, it's certainly a lot more diverse than it was even 10 years ago so that can only be a good thing for everybody.

I’m sure I confessed undying love for someone fairly bland or disliked a while back. Can’t remember who though.

Good old Crowded House and a bit of Jamie T for my iPlayer viewing earlier.

Jamie T was ace.

Been some great performances this weekend, headliners aside. Enjoyed the Wet Leg, Idles, Wolf Alice, Glass Animals and Blossoms sets.

And thought both Billie Eilish and Paul McCartney were brilliant fun.

Was the Libertines's set broadcast? Not seen any clips of it and it's not on iPlayer despite being the first act.

[duvva 💅]

For those who’ve been waiting Paul McCartney now on iplayer

[reddebs]

Pet Shop Boys!!! 

Last time I saw these live was at Creamfields in '98

[Snail]

Can already tell kendrick is gonna be special.

[mbyx6cg2]

This is unreal. Money Trees my favourite Kendrick tune

[Snail]

Holy fuck this is amazing.

[duvva 💅]

Charli XCX too much backing track not enough actual singing. I know she uses autotune a bit but it does seem like she can sing so not sure why the over use of backing track. Hard to tell when she’s actually singing and when she isn’t. Can’t watch it as it looks like she’s miming half of it

[mbyx6cg2]

He's basically doing Good Kid Maad City hahahha

[Crosby Nick]

Where is Chris, the other Pet Shop Boy? - www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/live/bbcfour

Is he in some sort of invisible reflective suit - he is actually standing there nonchalantly playing the keyboards there - but we just can't see him?

It is the sort of thing these top mad lads do...

[Crosby Nick]

Here’s one for the Evertonians.

Technical issues, he's there now with a few others 👍

Pet Shop Boys if fucking ace.

[TepidT2O]

Being a notorious homosexual, my brother used to love the Pet Shop Boys…… one of the few things we had in common, they were just brilliant at their peak….

So this is quite a requiem for him… (he also loved Kylie, but she’s shit)

[RedSince86]

Way better than Jay-Z and Kanye's shows, it sounds better as well sound wise than those shows.

[Yosser0_0]

Love the stage set with the flashing street lights. Reminds me of the Top Cat cartoon where he taps into the street light circuit to get lighting to his trash can.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

The Pet Shop Boy has pulled a decent crowd.

[Yosser0_0]

Hoping for Paninaro, love that track.

[TepidT2O]

How quickly I forget just how sad so many of these PSB songs are. 

So hard is one of the saddest songs there is ….

[Yosser0_0]

HaHa, just seen Chris Lowe - good job he's wearing a white cap!

Ah, I see. Well, that a bit underwhelming.

I was kind of hoping for my scenario... he sort of uncloaks on stage, Predator style, and then starts a thumping rendition of Always On My Mind on the keyboards.

We were half expecting him to appear out of the lamp post but it wasn't to be 😂😂

That was very Accidental Partridge.

Maybe an age thing?

Many might not agree, but I thought Paul McCartney's voice was a bit weak last night too. No surprise given his age, of course. He did hold a note far better than Diana Ross did today though.

I agree, he cleverly leaned quite a lot on the singers in his backing group and managed to pull off a decent overall performance.
