Glastonbury 2024 - Home Edition

[Nestacres]

I love PJ. First saw her at Glasto in 1995 but she's on the wrong stage. Sould have been in the Park

Looks like The Vaccines and Sugababes were both way oversubscribed, just like last year when the Friday afternoon stuff on the Pyramid was middling. Can’t think the council will be too thrilled.

The field does look very empty, especially on the wide shot now they've opened up the area beyond the road along the back of the field

I miss the PJ Harvey that used to rock out with a guitar.

 

and as if by magic, 50ft Queenie 🙂

I don't think I've ever seen The Pyramid stage looks that empty.  Agree  Polly J should  be on the Park.

 

Will they ever give back the camping at row mead?

The Pyramid is going to be really under populated all weekend. Very poor lineup on there this year (especially in terms of mainstream appeal) and the more popular acts are definitely dotted elsewhere.

Dexys set is wonderfully odd

I can understand leaving it clear when theres a big act on the lineup, but i cant really see anyone this year justifying having the extra space, in the past some of the legends and headliners have attracted massive crowds, but there doesnt seem to be anyone who will draw that size of crowd this year

Yep. I love LCD but it was clear as soon as it was announced that was the wrong slot for them. I have ‘the fear’ for them and the acts on the other main stages at that time aren’t even that strong.

Noticed none of the full sets are on iPlayer yet. When do these normally come on? Is it next morning or something?

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

 

Basically staffing numbers and working hours.

 

If they covered the extra couple hours on a stage, they'd need an extra crew for that stage and presumably they've decided that can't be justified.

 

When they did show the early Astley slot last year, they had to sacrifice one of the later slots in order to make it work

Loving PJ tonight, but just feels such bad stage choice. Put her on the Other and perform to an appreciative crowd. To be fair she has quite a good crowd, not sure if they know what's happening though. Fearful for LCD which should be absolute highlight this year. Very strange scheduling on the Pyramid today

Not sure when the full sets are put up, but you can rewind the stage feeds and re-watch earlier sets

I like the way he said how good Geno Washington still sounded, and how good Jackie Wilson's voice was... and when you start talking about the quality of singing voices then people are going to pay more attention to how yours is holding up and... well. 

[Glastoboy]

At the moment on iPlayer you can select the stage you want to see and then rewind back to the actual you want to watch.

Saw her in 2016 on the other stage and that was sparse

Most will be up by tomorrow morning/lunchtime.

Stunning performance by PJ, captivating.

Loving Danny brown

PJ was tremendous - so wish I was there!

 

Have got to see her again.

I actually fell asleep standing up during that set! No reflection on her, I was just exhausted from trudging through the mud for 5 days. 

 

Anyway, I went with Dexys in the end & enjoyed it, even if it was a bit weird at times. Could have probably played a couple more classics instead of dicking around!

 

Will watch PJ back later in the week.

Completely agree 

I think it ruins the vibe a bit, just a big empty field. It always looked cool with the tents, fires etc.

Coldplay are the only act pulling a huge crowd I suspect.

[dingbat2]

Despite them being on the wrong stage and it not being dark yet, I can't wait for what I think will be the highlight for me this year, LCD Soundsystem.. up next, can't wait. What was I thinking missing these in 2016?!

It was obvious 2 years ago but they seemingly do not learn. And when TLC was on the same slot it was rammed to the gills. Dont know why they didnt wanna give Sugababes some respect and schedule them accordingly. This is festival disasterclass of the finest
