Anyone see that banner that just said "Next: Pyramid : The Pretenders"? Quickly turned it off!

Line up overall might be weak but Foos into Royal Blood into Arctic Monkeys is just about as good as it gets for me. 

Think today is okay for most tastes tbh. Plenty of clashes between now and 8pm. It’s Sunday’s card really letting the side down.

Disliked Texas back int day, but grown to like their music over the years, crowd will also be there for whats to come aswell

[Monty Pythagoras]

Unknown Mortal Orchestra - is the sound mix low on the vocals? Sounds good other than I can’t make out anything the lead singer is saying!

Yeah Friday is very strong across the board. Saturday for my tastes is woeful. Sunday isn't much better either. 

Not a vintage year at all but it's Glasto so it's always great.

The Pretenders filling in for sick Artic Monkeys, bumping up everyone, or referring to The Food Fighters song

Pale Waves sounding decent!

Yeah, not bad - don't know their stuff at all, but I'm liking it so far!

[Benjsh]

Texas absolutely spot on. Great voice. Great songs. Perfect early tea time band for Pyramid.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Paying tribute to Emily Eavis’ support for women then covering a song by a paedophile! Wild.

In all seriousness that was almost like a Legends Slot. Sharleen is a good egg but they can’t have had a crowd like that outside Scotland for 20 years. Good for them.

Emily has said the arctics are definitely playing.

Some decent stuff on Saturday daytime - working mens club, Sudan archives, third world, Shame & tinariwen - but night time is pretty crap imo.

[jannybruck]

That could easily be a career resurgance moment for Texas, chuck a load of tour dates on sale Monday and they'll sell out. Pretty incredible

They were great but I suspect a large amount of people were there early for Foos too. Played into their hands though and they certainly used it to their advantage. 

Charlene still got it

Maneskin > Rina > C+TQ is the best run of consecutive acts on the same stage anywhere all weekend IMO. Definitely not for everyone though

Absolutely thought this too - surprised how much I loved it and instantly went to check if they had any dates coming up!

Well I fired up the personal laptop at home to try and watch iplayer coverage in garden which decided as I had neglected it for awhile it was going to update itself. When it finally finished and I logged onto bbc again my audio wasn’t working and I have just gone down a rabbit hole of trying to work out why my audio device is missing 😩 have given up and resorted to going inside to watch on telly. Hateful computer.  

[Fish Bulb]

Gabriels late or technical troubles? 

[northernringo]

Is Gabriels' set not working for anyone else?

[Chipbarm]

Is West Holts running late, where’s Gabriels?

[Ryan1984]

Is it me or is the Gabriels West Holts live stream not showing anything? I have a lineup screen saying they should have started at 5.30pm.

[northernringo]

Starting now!

Only heard of one of those. Will have to check them out. Nice one.

Gabriels - what a voice

Jacob’s stage presence is unreal. Future headliner if there’s any justice 

Desperate for him to take that cape off before he faints though 😄

Might stick the Foo's on for half an hour - even though they bored the arse off me in 2017! At least with them only getting 65 minutes he surely won't be stretching out their songs endlessly?

Whatever, I'll definitely be switching to Chvrches at 6:45 - absolutely love them!
