He’s developed that weird Ozzy Osbourne faux-American stage talk accent

Let's be honest though, they could have come out and smashed it and they would have still got pelters on here. 

Don’t agree with this, at least from my side anyway. I thought they’d step it up for Glastonbury and crowd please a bit, but it appears to just be the same old complaints people have had about their live shows.

When I Grow Up by Fever Ray is a timeless masterpiece imo

[onemoresolo]

Personally, I’m enjoying this from my sofa but if I was there I think I’d be nodding off after a few beers. Hot Chip would have been the choice.

[Lucy92]

Can’t help but think ‘Richard Hammond is doing well’ watching this

The only person enjoying this is Alex Turner.

And me, I'm really enjoying it 🤣 I absolutely don't get the voice but realise this is just him now

It definitely felt like the right thing to do that night, but my decision to leave U2 early to watch Primal Scream is up there with the best decisions i've made at Glastonbury

I wish id left early and done anything, worst thing I've seen at Glastonbury

I wasn’t rooting for AM to fail. Saw them in Coventry a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. It’s all over the place tonight though.

I wouldn't be giving them pelters - I like them a lot, but they feel a bit off so far tonight. Only half way through, so maybe it will pick up?

After all, the first hour of Macca last year was f**king abysmal - I don't care what anyone else says!

Did Macca get any better? We went to bed 😴

Just here to say that Kelis has been class! 

They’ve been absolutely spoilt for choice in Worthy Farm this evening.

Tears in my eyes. I love them so much.

[Andy0808 v5]

Thought it would be a unique set list. It’s the tour one still, with an ill singer trying his best.

Huge AM fan but this is a flop. Don’t think any surprises can save it at this point.

[Diamond24]

Arctic Monkeys are my favourite band. London last week was brilliant. But this has been pretty bad so far unfortunately. I think his quirks are more palatable when you're in a crowd singalong. Watching on TV... not so much

[st dan]

The really frustrating thing is that they have a great setlist and performance still in them if they wanted to deliver it, you can see it in glimpses. 
But the more people want it, the more Alex seems reluctant to deliver. He surely knows nobody wants to listen to his new style - and it’s really baffling they’re sticking with it for so long now. I can even understand the change of direction on their studio albums, but live shows should be for the crowd.

I agree, we bailed and went to Jamie T (who was my highlight that year)

This AM setlist is a farce. Not a single proper big hitter yet.

I just dont understand people saying Macca was shite, i thought he was incredible (old man voice taking into consideration)

Will be interested to hear back about how the crowd reacted to all the medleys. Looks and sounds great on TV though.

One of my favourite bands but they would want to get their arse in gear.

 

I don't think they know what they want to be anymore. they sneer at their own older stuff.

I think the issue with Macca was his setlist, not enough hits in the first half of the set, even if hed just added a couple of big hits early on it'd have got the crowd onside earlier on
