young fathers

[Neil]

Weren't they just superb. that's the second time I've seen them and both times I've ended up thinking "future Glastonbury headliner ".

Dunno how they do it but the drum heavy show really carries them.

[Spindles]

This was the gig I most wanted to be there for.  Watched it on iplayer and they absolutely knocked it out of the park from start to finish.

[ogriff]

Only watching from afar, but best I've seen so far!

[BBC7BBCHEAVEN]

Brilliant gig, one of those that I would never listen to normally but always incredible live

[Calvin Klein]

one the must sees for me had i been able to attend

[rottencrotch]

Easily my performance of the day - that set was incredible. Took two of my friends who’d never heard of them and both were blown away. 

[she bangs the drums]

First time I've seen them live and loved it. Was a wonderful performance.

I was on th viewing platform watching down and every single person in front of me in the crowd wanted to be there and was dancing.

Not quite true, I wasn't dancing, I stayed sat  down on the chair of my powered wheels. I'd have struggled to stand up and definitely couldn't dance .

Apologies i meant the crowd down from the platform, and I was probably next to you,  though did you want to dance?

Looked incredible on TV. Caught them at Latitude in 2015 and been meaning to see them again since. Addition of the female singers and extra percussion has really added to the spectacle.

[sunnyshoes]

They were amazing. Definitely one of those moments with the sun going down too. 

[crocodiles]

Young fathers are just an incredible live act wish I'd been there 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Absolutely incredible.

 

I hope the TV did it justice. A full on wall of sound. 

[GlastoFlow]

Never heard of them before…think I’ve found my new fave band!

[matrainertje]

I saw these guys at Best Kept Secret 2 weeks ago, one of the best shows I've ever been to. Hard one to top this year too. 

Fred Again was surely going to be fun, but everyone who chose to witness this show were instead spot on.

[hurdy]

Easily best so far - and there's probably only one ageing bloke who has a chance of eclipsing them

[DTichborne]

They were magnificent when I saw them on the Other Stage a few years ago. Utterly uncompromising, no "hello Glastonbury" during the set, not even a thank you at the end. Which sounds like it's rude when I write it down like that, but on the day it came across as something of a statement. Looking forward to watching this on catchup later, and seeing them at Latitude next month.

Concur amazing set 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

They were astonishing. My fave so far by quite a margin. Unbelievably good.

[FuzzyDunlop]

About to watch this back for a 2nd time... not as good as being there, but amazing.

I cant remember the last act to completely blow me away like they did last Friday. Probably the first time I saw Arcade Fire.

I've was 50/50 YF or Fred Again... Fred looked brilliant on TV, but nothing compared to the Young Fathers. Life affirming stuff.

My 10th time seeing them and maybe the best. Honestly thought they'd never match the intensity of the early days when they played small scuzzy venues but they properly made it work in by far the biggest setting I've seen them in. Loved it.

loved it, i always felt their show would scale up for a bigger stage, reckon they could headline the big pointy one, one day. 🙂

I bet those early shows were mega.

They passed me by until Cocoa Sugar came out, even then it was just on record. I liked the albums, but hadn't had the chance to catch them live until last week. 

Last week had everything I wanted in a performance. I know it'll have pissed off the kind of people I want to piss off too.

Straight into my top 10 favourite Glastonbury gigs of all time.

"This one's for Suella....SHAME!"

Powerful stuff, throughout.  I'd like to see them perform on the big pointy one and terrify the daily mail readers.

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

Didn't make it but one of the first sets I've watched back on iplayer. Brilliant. Can't wait to see them at Latitude x
