I'm glad you reminded me about the school run as I was just about to open a can!  Doesn't feel like a normal Friday.

I'm saving my first can for my first must-see of the weekend - The Mary Wallopers at 3:15.

Why are BBC only showing old clips at the moment? can they not show live acts at this time? Hopefully not long until we start seeing some live footage

Who is this woman with the Irish accent presenting on the iPlayer?

 

'One thing I've learned about Glastonbury is that it's difficult to get between places,' she says.

1:15 is the first live stream - Olivia Dean on the Pyramid. Then I think the other stages start at 2pm.

 

I've no idea why the BBC don't show the early sets, but it's the same every year.

They could at least have shown Squeeze's 2016 set to make it feel like a live show 😆

Simple - rebroadcasting old sets costs FAR less than live remote broadcasting of a big stage. They have to save their powder for the bigger guns.

Why is that? Live production of different cameras etc vs editing after?

On iPlayer right now, Huw is pronouncing tonight’s headliner as ‘Dua Lipa’ (rhyming with dipper), rather than Dua Lipa (rhyming with sleeper). Have I been pronouncing her name wrong for years?!

Olivia Dean on now - first live performance of the weekend being broadcasted!

Banger of a song to start the weekend as well

Are they only doing the one live channel this year then? you can't jump between the stages like usual as can only see Pyramid channel and nothing with the times/schedule either

Can anyone help?

I think the other live channels will only appear nearer 2pm - at least I hope so as there's virtually nothing I want to see on Pyramid!

I just checked the BBC website & it definitely says live streams will be available from the 5 main stages - so hopefully they will be there shortly.

West Holts, Park, Woodsies all available now

This is my first Glastonbury at home.  Gosh....does it get easier?  Really missing the place.

[verrymerry]

Ahh here you all are, I couldn't see a thread for people joining in at home, accidentally created a new thread 😂 we'll let that go to the grave. 

 

Looking forward to spending the weekend with you all, it was quite nice last year! 

[Punksnotdead]

Getting a bit bored of Olivia Dean now - she's alright but not really my bag. Switching to Squid on West Holts.

Also signing in… I’ll have it on in the background during the afternoon whilst working, dealing with kids etc.

Will be able to watch a lot more, & contribute here, later this eve once that’s all dealt with! Cider in the fridge in readiness

Screens in the Park at last!

[Baggins7]

Only recently discovered Barry Cant Swim and would have been starting my weekend there at the Park. Also first thing I noticed was the addition of screens at Park stage!

[itschris]

3hrs still to work, but starting the weekend now with Barry can't swim on the park stage via a second laptop

[itschris]

Talking of the park, i think Orbital followed by Peggy Gou tomorrow will be my highlight of the weekend

[Wakey321]

Squid are sounding brilliant!
