Seen lots of people saying their faves are Vaccines, Bombay, Bloc Party, Kasabian and Keane. Cause those acts have a bunch of familiar songs that are 20 years old so it drums up memories. Nostalgia is a helluva drug. You wouldve had sone fun at Just Like Heaven here. All the old faves in one place.  

 

Big fan of Death Cab The War & For Cutie On Drugs.

She can obviously sing but it's all a bit boring for me. There's nothing interesting about it. 

 

Each to their own, but I think she's a billion times more interesting than all the other formulaic Radio 1 garbage often on the Pyramid.

The pyramid has been a dumpster fire mostly all week. Won't hear me saying otherwise. 

 

I think the crowd are speaking with their feet here though. That's an appalling crowd for such a high profile spot on the line up.

 

She can definitely sing there's no doubt about it but none of her songs are memorable at all. I couldn't even name any of her 'hits'.

I know it's still about 20 mins till Sza, but that field doesn't look that full on the webcam. 

[Benjsh]

It's London Grammar for 45 mins and then switch over for Justice for me.

I caught the end of London Grammar's set a few years ago (2016 or 2017?), she had such a good voice, wish i'd got there earlier to see more of the set

Seen London grammar at Secret Garden Party and at Bestival, both times they’ve blown me away. Her voice is something else 

[Punksnotdead]

Counting down to The National now. Hoping the set is not too 'Laugh Track' heavy, as I think it's their worst album - apart from the first two obviously!

Imagine being Hannah's babysitter on the phone, 'yeah i'm having to do a sunday, the mum's playing a gig at Glastonbury'!!

Love Laugh track! Think it's their best since Trouble WFM

The Pyramid field looks empty for SZA

I've never cried as much as they they played John Peel (14 I think) Sunday evening and absolutely blew me away - that and it was the end of a perfect festival

Has there ever been a smaller crowd for a headliner?

[Benjsh]

Smallest crowd ever for a headliner surely? It's not even a third full. 

 

Always thought it was a ridiculous booking. She's nowhere got the following yet to merit this slot. She's much better known in the US too of course.

 

Good luck to her and have to feel sorry a bit sorry for her too really. Shouldn't have been put in this position.

That's Um.... Spacious 

[prestonmike]

Meanwhile London Grammar seem to have a decent crowd on the Park, pleanty of people up on the hill watching

Metallica was that small by the time we got there 20 minutes in. Can’t speak for how big it was at the start though.

Gives new meaning to the phrase, "plenty of space to move about in" 😅

[germanmon]

Yeah was coming down from the tipi field direction and could hardly move against the tide of people heading up to the Park. Thought it would be pretty rammed up there. 

[Benjsh]

I bet Other Stage and West Holts are absolutely mental. Hahaha!!!

They closed entry from the bottom of Park (I think), and directing new arrivals up the hill

Have Metallica played twice then? 
When I watched them in 14 the field was pretty rammed.
