Doesnt look like a very big crowd for Warpaint

Tbf that’s a pretty ambitious slot for them in 2023. They haven’t really been ‘relevant’ or released anything particularly memorable in a good few years now.

Their newest album was my favourite of 2022. Class. I get that they aren’t exactly super popular though.

not Sparks playing the song from Annette. My partner loathes that film and is now having a meltdown … 

[Serenefishy]

This Cate Blanchett cameo is trippy 

[Lubic]

Just remembered Stella from Warpaint was on keys for Courtney Barnett last year. Glasto regular.

I love Warpaint (watching them now), but there are party bands and there are arty bands, and I f you’re a casual punter at a festival…

[Punksnotdead]

Cate Blanchett dancing on stage with Sparks!

Actually now that you mention it, I remember really loving one of the singles from it (Stevie, I think) but for whatever reason only gave the album one listen and never returned. Maybe I need to revisit it.

I'm a fan, but like someone else mentioned, its not the right slot for them, they're more of a Park stage band for me than a John Peel band, but i missed them in 2017 on the park because they clashed with Foo Fighters

starting to wonder if it wasn’t me having the meltdown, what the hell was that Cate Blanchett cameo 😭

Solid album and they got a decent crowd at Primavera last year. But subbing Woodsies always seems to be a tricky slot to fill the tent. At least for the acts I've been to anyway.

Just rewound to watch Chvrches- good crowd considering Foos were on pyramid 

Did that myself. They sounded very good, though it certainly it did look as though the crowd for the final songs was bulkier than the opening ones.

Think if I was there I definitely would've over-thought which of the two to see, overcomplicated it and somehow saw neither.

Royal Blood sounding huge. Don't care that they threw a tantrum and in turn made people on Twitter throw a tantrum. They'll always have bangers.

I'm seeing them support Muse on Sunday, so I'm hopeful this is a good omen for that slot.

I also like the touch of their drummer wearing an Arctic Monkeys t-shirt as a homage to Matt Helders' Royal Blood t-shirt when AM last did Glasto in 2013.

I dunno. I’ve seen much smaller. I’ve been in smaller at that stage, to be honest.

Actually really enjoyed their set on the telly. If i was at Pilton, I’d probably have followed the crowd to Fred Again…

[MrBarry465]

Really enjoying the warpaint set, started on Fred Again but lost interest.

Havent actually listened much to the new Warpaint album but definetly will.

there was a shot early on that made it look pretty empty, its either filled up since the start or it was just the camera angle that made it seem quiet

[Punksnotdead]

Sparks - like the Pet Shop Boys on magic mushrooms! f**king brilliant!

[wonker]

Sparks is such beautiful eccentricity, I love it

[al_coholic]

never seen Sparks before. Not sure what I have just come across. So totally bizarre

not sure how that guy has been getting away with his Hitler cosplay for 40 years but I’m here for how absurd it is 

[Serenefishy]

Sparks have been around forever and have never changed a bit. Love ‘em.

Think it just looked empty to the left if looking straight ahead on stage.

Yeah think it's just a bit sparse round the edge of the tent, not too bad down the middle

[al_coholic]

Warpaint sound good. But obviously the graveyard shift at Woodsies. Also found their lighting really poor on my TV. 

[Kempleton]

So, who’s everyone’s headliners?
