Stock on the rise...

[FuzzyDunlop]

It's hard to separate the live experience in the field to the TV experience - but after venturing out into the real world & talking to people who only watched the TV broadcasts I have found:

Stock has gone up...

Sam Fender. Lots of people asked me if I saw him. From people at work who are into him to my mum who had never heard of him. After the headliners, easily my most asked about act.

Olivia Rodrigo. "There was a girl on called Olivia who was brilliant". I got that in work yesterday. A few other people who are into her asked me if I saw her cos of how good she was.

Supergrass. Admittedly this is an age &  demographic thing, but "Supergrass were mint weren't they?". Had that a lot.

What about anyone else?

My 75 year old father in law said Supergrass were his favourite on TV.

I work with young people and yesterday a 14 year old asked what Glastonbury was (after asking where I'd been the week before) and when I explained a bit about it and a few of the acts I'd seen, she expressed surprise that Billie Eilish was "still performing" 🫠

Turns out though, that the youths love Mitski, which is cool. Big on Tik Tok.

Sheesh at 20 she’s so past it 😂😂 I haven’t been out since we got home so no idea what the outside would thinks!

Supergrass we’re indeed “mint”! Fontaines we’re fantastic as well, set just built and built in intensity. If Wet Leg’s 2nd album hits the highs of the first, then they are nailed on for a bigger slot. Interested to see where they go (there’s some less interesting parts of album 1, but the high points are great). Yves Tumor was one I didn’t know beforehand, but I thought he was fantastic. Conversely, I love Crowded House, but thought they were a bit flat (though I missed the start as it took ages to get back from the Park), 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Wet Leg the talk of the town here. Although that’s been true ever since the album release so it might just be the circles I mix in. 

[Gingerfish79]

Amyl and the Sniffers have really upped their game since the first album.

Bob Vylan and Nova Twins will be on bigger stages next time.

 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Also my Aunt LOVED Kendrick. Particularly i. “This one’s a bit funky”, she said. 

[HyperTechnoHorse]

Have had way more people than in previous years ask how they can get tickets for next year.  So festival stock on the whole is 📈

My stock is also up this year, with only a handful of my group having a go at me or calling me a c*** during the festival. Compared to last time, I'm on the up.

[Wakey321]

Sam Fender will headline at some point in the future. Maybe 3 years time when he has another successful record out.

Elsewhere, i think AmyL & the Sniffers, Katy J Pearson and First Aid Kit had excellent performances away from the big artists. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Phoebe Bridgers has earned raves although again that might just be my circles who are into that sort of thing anyway.

IDLES had a huge impression on our group, 2 of them had never listened to them before and said it was one of the best sets of the weekend, they loved the energy and how that went through the crowd. For me, it was one of the best sets I've ever been at!

[Watergirl]

Unfortunately in real life I find myself amongst people who only know Paul McCartney and Diana Ross....

Everyone I know who encounters Confidence Man for the first time comes away a fan.

Hah, my 80 year old classical music loving mother’s fave from the TV coverage was Billie Eilish! 🙂

[Pipine]

Self Esteem getting a lot of love here and Olivia Rodrigo.

Lots of comments about how amazing the festival looked this year..

Yeah of my mates who didn't go, Confidence Man have come away as the post popular.

Just realised I've read the OP wrong.....

Same as previous years for me.

People are naturally jealous as it looks great on TV, even though you only see a tiny portion. I tend to find that the one's who say "I'll definitely be there next year!" often don't follow it up - be it a lack of commitment (organisation/pissed up the night before the sale) or just opting for other things.

Time will tell.

Possibly the only thing more infectious than COVID!

I had a colleague who lives in Czechia, who told me after the 2019 festival, that her friend had tickets booked for them in 2022. I didn't have the heart to tell her that was bullshit.

Skunk Anansie did a good job of reminding people how good their back catalogue is (and that they’re still going).

Was that once you stopped warning them about the apocalyptic weather and just enjoyed yourself?  😉

[willgooneday]

Turnstile and Idles of the more rockier type bands on this years bill seem to have gone down great. Yungblud as well.
