I think that the older you get the further from the front you seem to find yourself. 

PS - I'm taking being called 'lad' by a 25 y/o as a positive start to my Friday!

Jeeeze I can't be assed with being down the front anymore that ship sailed a long time ago. I prefer a good centre spot between the middle and back where I'm able to observe everything that is going. Being in the action can be great but there's something incredible about being able to take it all in Infront of you.

Good lad. The age thing doesn't matter. Sometimes I think I'm the youngest when I go to gigs and I'm 25 but oh well. If the gig bangs, the gig bangs. Billie for the people!

It's weird, I'm absolutely not self-conscious about it at all.  Went to Magic Gang last year and felt bloody ancient, but was in the middle of the bounce with everyone else and loved it.  But something about this one I just feel like I'd be, I dunno, intruding. Odd really.

When you next see your friend tell him to have a bloody word with himself. Jeeeez!

Yeah, that fella's missing a few of the internal control systems that stop normal people from saying stuff. Bloody liability. I'll have a word

I've gravitated much more to the front as I've got older.  As per previous, my self-consciousness has diminished massively with age and I love being bang in the middle of it

Wow, just discovered her after sampling bits and pieces from everyone from the 1st Glastonbury announcement. I didn't expect a teenager who is hip with the kids to be my favourite new name from the initial lineup!

Jesus the crowd reaction for her on the Coachella  live stream is absolutely insane..

The hype for her in USA is unreal. Although I think by the time Glastonbury comes it’ll be similar over here.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Listened to the album yesterday and watched the Coachella set this morning. I wondered how her soft, breathy style was going to translate live but they managed to make it feel intimate, maybe because of the dark and the excellent set production. What stage is she on at Glastonbury? Can't see it working in the daylight on the Pyramid, probably more suited to high up on the John Peel or Other Stage, similar to Lorde in 2017. Was good though, think she's definitely 2019s female breakthrough act

Really like her album, will try and catch the Coachella set.  Just found a little bit though where she seems to forget all the words to one of her songs!

[Matt42]

Yeah Billie will work best in the dark. It’s a difficult one to place. I don’t know if they’d give her an other sub slot just yet. But if you put her in the JP you won’t be getting anywhere near that thing it will be overflowing.

My best bet is she’l probably sub or headline the JP and it’l be a packed set.

According to the Coachella Reddit apparently she got one of the biggest crowds of the night.

You can tell she was a bit nervous. It’s easy to forget that she’s a 17 year old girl and her first time at coachella is playing on a big stage with one of the biggest crowds of the day.

Just searched the live channels on YouTube and dont seem to find her set.

Pitchfork shared a live stream of her set on Facebook earlier and some of the comments attacking her appearance and stuff (mostly from middle aged men) are pretty horrible. I'm not even a big fan but surely if you follow pitchfork you must have some understanding of her music and what's she's about?

A lot of men just don’t like women and if they see a young girl on the rise to being successful they wanna cut that shit pretty quick.

Definitely more excited to see her now after seeing the Coachella set. Headlining the nme tent (is it even called that anymore ?) at R&L is a bad call given the size of the crowd she's bound to get there. Glasto I'm not too sure, other stage maybe but the same visuals would work better in the dark

Oops.

Her coachella set was brilliant will defo be watching her on the farm

[Jay89]

Looking at tracklist, she played ‘bellyache’ and ‘ocean eyes’ from previous album. Given she won’t change the setlist, I’m there at the front!

[jyoung]

More and more hyped for this set by the day. They just played You Should See Me In A Crown in the build up to Liverpool Vs Chelsea on Sky Sports. This girl is gonna take over the world.

[shoptildrop]

Her Coachella set was fantastic!! Such stage presence for someone so young and crowd was going nuts..

I can get behind on the hype on this one

Here on mobile and the way the title of the video cuts off I got really excited she'd collaborated with Young Fathers.

Bit of a weird tweet from Garbage tbh

As far as I can tell, most people are losing their shit because she's released a cracking debut album ??‍♂️

Don't think anyone is sexualising her or anything, so not entirely sure what's creepy.

Suppose it depends what they have seen. I haven't seen anything to suggest creepiness, most people just discuss her music whether they like it or not.
