I've got a friend there who is a mega fan of both Idles and Fontaines. He's gone to see Dua because "I wouldn't pay to see her"

 

I bet a lot of people are in that boat of going just because

Loving this Dua set, the stage set up with the light pillars in the crowd makes it look very club-esque. Not put a foot wrong so far. 

 

Coachella started doing that 10 years ago. Welcome to the modern age

IDLES are absolutely killing it. Setlist is brilliant so far. Crowd are well up for it. 
 

Watched 10mins of Dua beforehand and it just seems too polished and perfect to me. Felt like I was watching a music video and not a festival set. I’ll give the rest a watch tomorrow, still. 

 So she is actually singing btw. Is it supposed to sound sh*tty and be off the cuff? Wonder if it was Madonna you wouldve said it was perfect.

wtf is that lifeboat??

[sildante]

f**k me I love Fontaines. Grian's (live) voice has improved a lot.

 

All Friday headliners looking strong, can't go wrong tonight

I'm sure there's quite a few blokes there who have been dragged along by their other half. Ha!

 

She's a Pop star and she does what she has to do. It was all very clinical and over rehearsed to me though. Not what the headline slot at Glasto is about in my book. I switched over to Jungle as soon they started. Absolutely the right choice.

Dua looks like she’s doing a ‘fine’ job, but I think this type of modern pop act is always going to struggle on the Pyramid. Bringing the energy for 90+ mins is the main issue. 
This isn’t a dig, I think she’s great at what she does, has some big hit and 100% deserves the slot, but I think it was always going to be fairly flat, given the type of act.

Kid on stage at Idles having the moment of his life 💚

[angelin]

I mean she’s great but I am bored now

I wasn’t saying she wasn’t singing? Everything just seemed too pristine.

Flynn on stage with Idles has been the best thing I've seen so far, such a wonderful moment 

[Handshake]

Just realised that all the main stage headliners are from the UK & Ireland, not sure if that’s a common thing. Anyway, been top quality tonight. Still on Jamie xx wishing I was there. If LCD pop up with Idles someone let me know. 

[lemons]

I think she's plenty of catchy songs but hasn't done much to change my view , could happily dance at the back to her and wouldn't miss much.

What did he say down the mic? I sneezed as he spoke and missed it!

And given the chance to say anything, thanking his dad...

Joe said "Is there anything you'd like to say?" And the little legend said "Just thanks to my dad for bringing me here"

Joe started crying and said "Now get the f**k off my stage" 😂

[TapeRecorder]

I might be missing something but Flynn?

Idles pulled a kid, maybe 11 or 12 years old, on stage and let him join in playing drums

I am a cold hearted monster but that did make me smile when that happened 😀

[mario man]

Idles absolutely smashing it - loved Joe finally spotting the kid who’d been wandering around on stage for about 15 mins

Dua’s music just doesn’t really suit Glastonbury headliner. She doesn’t have tracks that are going to make people lose their mind and sing along and it’s not particularly emotive. Her actual performance is fine.

That IDLES set is up there with Neil Young & The Cure as the best things I've ever seen at Glastonbury! 

 

I wish I could transport my 16 year old Clash & Pistols obsessed self to that stage! Punk Rock will never die!

[verrymerry]

My 6 yr old is gunna be pissed she didn't play Dance the Night 😂

I love how he was given the guitar at first but you could see him say ‘I don’t know how to play’ 😂

I have Dua Lipa on in the background on the telly and she has spent the entire last song with her back to the crowd whilst singing to the camera. Seems rather odd.
