Gabriels - fantastic 👍🏻
I went in 1993 and 1995 on a freebie before the fence was strengthened so you couldn’t bunk in.
I do like a couple of beers watching the line up, but it is not a classic this year.
Will try for tix next year to see what the fuss is about 30 years later, and when you become an oldie.
Older kids are looking forward to the Arctics, and I am a little partial myself.
No one, this evening has been diabolical.
Missed the Foo Fighters if they were broadcast. Watching their 2008 Wembley concert on Sky Arts to make up for it.

I enjoyed CHVRCHES and Sparks

I'll add Hot Chip to that list.Originally Posted by Mr Curta

They could well be on the i-player too?
I saw them last week, they were supporting Coldplay in Cardiff,,they were really good.
Alex Turner looking very Bryan Ferry.
But brilliant. My son saw them at Reading but was really disappointed that they pretty much played the latest album and nothing else. Quite the reverse tonight, all the oldies. Would love to be there, but in all likelihood can see and hear better on my home system.

My missus is there with friends, I stupidly forgot to register so didn’t get a ticket, also missed out on the re-sale, so I’m at home looking after the dog…
Wouldn’t have minded seeing Leftfield, Guns & Roses and The Manic’s tbh..
CHVRCHES were brilliant tonight. I saw them supporting Coldplay at the Etihad a couple of days before you and they were great there too.
Both my sons saw him/them at the Emirates stadium last weekend.
Ironically my oldest has been flat out at work this week and was asleep by 10pm and my youngest (at Sheffield Uni!) is doing a shift in the local pub until midnight.
Missed Chvrches and can't seem to find it on Iplayer.
Me and the better half were really looking forward to Chemical Brothers on the arcadia stage at 10.30 but can't find them anywhere.

On the iplayer go to the ‘Other Stage’ tile where it says Carly Rae Jepson and CHVRCHES are on there.
They absolutely smashed it as usual.
Foo fighters (both sets) just seemed to scream it in, or was it just me?

Arctic Monkeys are a class act.
I'll try and avoid all the Lauren Laverne clichés (smashing it, feeling the love, kitchen disco etc) but that was a bloody good set from the Arctics
Very pleasantly surprised by Texas.
Thought the arctics were absolutely woeful.
Turner absolutely murdering the old songs.
Completely dull band for me now.
I though Fred Again were very good.

Just watched the Foo Fighters set on iPlayer. Incredible. We had tickets to see them at Old Trafford last year but it was cancelled after the death of Taylor Hawkins. Still on my bucket list to see them though and DG pretty much announced that they would be headlining at Glastonbury next year and touring the UK. I would sell my mother to be there for that.
Here on site and have enjoyed, Steve Earle, Lightening Seeds, bit of Foo’s, Star Feminine Band, Billy Nomates, Sparks and Chemical Brothers.
Yeah Ill be at a few of those shows next year, Grohl smashes it, he is deaf and rarely uses in ear monitors so it can be raw / screamy, but that’s old Skool rock n roll.

Just watched the Lightning Seeds and they were great. Surprised how may of the songs I remembered and sounded great.
Worth a watch if only for the rather attractive keyboard player.
Cheers

Royal Blood for me.
Always excellent.
Cheers,
Neil.
I thought the Lightning Seeds and Texas were poor.
Rick Astley, he was fantastic!

too many druggie types there, i cant stand them myself
Bit too frantic. Could have just slowed some songs down a touch but gave 100% as usual.
Carly Rae Jepsen was good.
Royal Blood were not for me.
Young Fathers were unusual, wife loved it, I was kind of “meh” about them.
Foos were predictably full-on, great to see them back. Josh Freese filling some huge boots well. Hope to be able to see them live again next year.
Artic Monkeys were OK I thought. Never been a big fan myself.
Looking forward to replay of Rick Astley and GnR live later.
I watched the FFs - 100% from the start and very entertaining. Then I watched Arctic Monkeys: obviously a very good band with a lot of great material. Unfortunately, they didn’t play a headlining set: all a bit too slow and serious and - in my opinion - a bit too much Scott Walker meets mid- seventies Bowie going on. The audience seemed a bit unimpressed too. Looking forward to GnR tonight, saw them twice back in the day: once in a little club in Nottingham and then a few years later at Wembley Stadium. Both times they were incredible… hopefully time and age won’t have tamed them.
Foo fighters just. Looking forward to watching a re run of Rick who went down a storm apparently, then watch live tonight Guns and Roses.
I enjoyed Foo Fighters though more so in the less screechy moments.
Rick Astley was good fun and clearly quite humbled to be there. I like that he’s not afraid to poke fun at himself which was evident throughout.
I’m beyond excited at seeing GNR tonight having been into them since the late 80’s. Hoping Axl Rose pulls off the vocals and he seems in good form according to fellow rocker Justin Hawkins. https://youtu.be/Rr_MMxCRA0I
Highly recommended JH’s YouTube channel. It’s very amusing and check out the recent short video clip of Tenacious D’s cover of Wicked Game that Hawkins previews.
Cheers
Neil

Thoroughly enjoyed watching Third World but then singer AJ Brown just blew everyone away when he sang the classic Andrea Bocelli song Time to Say Goodbye. What a voice!
Not a dry eye in my house.
I'm enjoying Rick Astley and Blossoms performing The Smiths rather more than I expected to.

I take it you're still in the business/have contacts. I'm always unlucky with internet sales of tickets (even with pre-registration!) and end up getting scalped by the secondary sellers. But the Foos are on my bucket list, so I will probably pay whatever it takes to be there
Manics putting on a proper show here, go on boys

Watching them too.

Manics rocking it. Astley and Blossoms, superb
Fair play, the manics were majestic

Who is the red haired lass that appeared with the Manic Street Preachers?
The Anchoress. A Welsh singer
Thank you sir, will investigate further.
Chrissie Hynde has still got it
Me too, never liked the Smiths, but maybe I'll have another go.
Johnny Marr is a bonus too. All very Smith-themed today, isn't it?
Lewis Capaldi was superb. Lovely personality and great voice.
Leftfield starting their set, loved these and Orbital back in the day.
Looking forward to this…
Indeed!
