Bookending the day with separate Kneecap pits.

Romy coming on at Jessie Ware to sing their new song was a lovely moment.

 

Jessie smashed it in front a pretty small West Holts crowd.

One moment was being amazed at how many people actually like coldplay!

 

Lights were cool, sounded pretty good, but it was so cheesey, not my thing though but fair play to em...

 

But loving how friendly and caring they were when I was pushing my 3 year old in a pram through the path at the top of the pyramid stage ❤️ 

 

My moment was the whole IDLES set.. was a powerful performance....

 

f**k the king singalong, ceasefire, the Banksy boat stunt, the kid on stage and an emotional Joe breaking down, band playing in thw crowd..... and flagging off the Tories and Nigel Farrage. 

 

It was a small crowd but a great crowd!

Everyone singing Hey Jude when it got around that Bellingham had saved our bacon in the Euros.

[Spindles]

Bob Vylan was f**king incredible.

Not sure if it was streamed but during Rachel Chinouriri's Other Stage set she gave a beautiful speech  about what it meant to her which left a stone-faced steward in front of me wiping away tears. Just a lovely moment for everyone. 

 

Also the set itself was banging. 

[Pinhead]

Last gig of the weekend was The Feeling at Avalon for me. Sound gig, everyone up for it, Ellis Bextor turned up. Looks like the more intimate gigs won it this year.

Nitin Sawhney dedicating a beautiful song about the contribution immigrants make to Nigel Farage got the taps flowing.

Already been mentioned a few times but LCD playing All My Friends at sunset was absolutely beautiful. Hadn't listened to them until they were on the line up and the first time I heard that song I just pictured it as the sunset.

 

Complicated and Sk8er Boi for Avril. Great little sing songs.

 

Fix You by Coldplay. Out of nowhere I started thinking about my late grandparents and had tears in my eyes, then had a lovely hug with my mate.

 

Highlight for me though was The Village Inn late night Friday. Want to say they were called My Mate Gate and Gentleman George/Bangers and Mash. They mixed W.A.P. with an Abba song and the tent went bananas. All of our group have kept talking about it since.

 

What a weekend.

Skindred at Avalon on Friday night was a highlight for me 🤘

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Such a good weekend! Few unexpected highlights were 

- Huge crowd at The Other singing Hey Jude at end of Avril Lavigne set after hearing Jude Bellingham scored to equalise 

- Damon Albarn coming on with Bombay Bicycle Club and singing Tender. My favourite Blur song ❤️ and totally didn’t expect to hear it this weekend 

- Confidence Man bringing the party to The Other. Almost missed them.  Glad we didn’t 

- Keane - whole set was brilliant. Felt like the whole crowd sang along to every song

- The K’s smashing their Woodsies set. Electric atmosphere and the band were clearly buzzing and so happy to be there 

[Wakey321]

Seeing the pure joy on that little lad Flynn's face getting up on Stage with Idles. That's what Glastonbury is all about!

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

It's always the people for me. Made some special new friends this year which made it unforgettable 🧡

Justice from 22:00-23:15.

 

Set a tiny fraction better in 2017 but the crowd was livelier this year. 

 

"Chorus" though. Absolutely mega.

LCD. Watching one of my favourite bands on the best stage in the world with the sun setting. Great crowd around us too.

[dondo]

Altogether Now by the Farm at Leftfield.

 

Billy Bragg and John Robb and others on stage and tent was bouncing. The pit security joining in as well.

 

Was just fantastic

That was pretty much perfect wasn't it, it blew my head off from home, a truly brilliant crowd enjoying an exceptional band, it surprised me a little, I wasnt sure how much a pyramid crowd would 'get it', but jeez they did!. It was always going to be my highlight and it exceeded my expectations massively. And a gorgeous setting sun, truly magical stuff, you were very lucky to be there. I cant see LCD beating that, it was perfect in every way

It was a lovely little crowd. Went back to the sound stage so at West Holts that felt quite enclosed.

I was lurking on the outskirts getting food down my neck, that and Bank Robber went down great.  The security were equally brilliant during Bob Vylan, I was on the barrier right in front of them and they were smiling, dancing, clapping and generally having as much of a time as us punters.  I came out of there energized like I haven't felt in years (and perfectly placed to run to the the National to finish my night in style).

You weren't at SZA? Unbelievable

Black Puma’s on West Holts Saturday finishing with Colours. Beautiful and moving, seemed like whole field was with them. Excellent.

I’ve seen them loads and I think  I may have seen them slightly more… energetic (bordering on a little frenetic)  but they were SO composed. Even James’ ’ self-deprecating way, they were nailing it and they knew they were nailing it.
