Sam Fender’s currently doing a cracking job in the pyramid stage at the moment, and I love how much he and his band looking like they’re having the time of their lives!

Agreed…he and the band were absolutely fantastic! Some nice guitars to look at too!

I didn’t realise he had so many good songs. Seventeen Going Under is a wonderful bit of writing

I gave Billie around 40 mins before I caved in and switched over for the end of Primal Scream. I know I'm not supposed to like her but it was too sparse for a headline set imo. She's clearly very well loved but I can't see it, whatever it is.

I loved Crowded House and Alison/Plant. Some sneaky quotes from other Zep songs during Levee.. Jimmy will be getting riled up at home under his tartan rug when he sees it.

It certainly is…we’ve stuck it in our set this year and it goes down really well

I enjoyed Plant/Krauss but I did feel it was a bit lukewarm for the crowd and didn't feel like there was much energy coming back from the crowd on that one.

St Vincent i thought was excellent. That giraffe banner on a pole that kept looking like it was pecking her when she stood on the crowd fence made me laugh a lot more than it should have.

I didn't get Dry Cleaning at all, unfortunately, though I tried. Wolf Alice sounded interesting but I don't like the vocals. The guitarist has some excellent guitar sounds. Watched his rig rundown afterwards and it was a good watch. I notice the vocals aren't as annoying on the recorded versions of the songs.

Not watched Billie Eilish yet but I'm looking forward to that. I get that it's probably not really big festival headlining stuff, but I like to think of her music as introverted music so to see introverted stuff doing well is always a draw for me. 

I didn't care much for Crowded House but then I don't think I'm the target audience for that  sounds like I should give Sam Fender a chance though

Have been listening to Sam Fender all morning. Not quite sure how I’ve overlooked him for so long. Seventeen Going Under is a masterpiece.

I liked Robert Plant and Alison Krause. Never heard them before and quite enjoyed it. Their voices compliment each other well and a great band behind them. 

Four Tet was fantastic. Just wish I was there.

I did same. Unfortunately Primal Scream were no better. Rock by numbers - without a single tune. I bailed again after 20mins.

The guitarist playing with St Vincent was the guy I saw playing with Beck pre lockdown . A very good player , has some lovely vintage stuff and does a great job as a showman too 

CHRISB50

Jesus and Mary Chain the guitar sounded huge. 

Quite liked Idles too. Intense. Loved the Beatles cover.

Is St Vincent still on iPlayer? Can't find it.

He gets bashed for not being serious enough by the serious music fan/boring old cunts crowd - he didn't do as well as he has by being rubbish people always forget other people have discretion as well!

Seventeen Going Under won Radio X's greatest song ever - bit strong - but it shows the depth of affection for it.

Any coverage of The Libertines or Zelensky anywhere? Seems strange that it hasn't been featured by BBC given Glastonbury's long association with the peace movement.

TeleMaster

I didn't realise that the Libertines were that involved, but I'm glad to hear it!

What guitar strap was the lead singer of Wet Leg wearing yesterday?

Hers, hopefully.

Greatape

Just digging in. 

Seun Kuti bringing energy, but Def notice the absence of keys and guitar#2 in the lineup. (Gear aside: using cool Trussart guitar and bass.)

Hoping for Snarky Puppy's set to be online. Also Richard Thompson

To the people bemoaning the lineup - not entirely unjustified - I'd say that this deficiency is replicated in other festivals. I mean, 15-20 years ago, WOMAD was the bollocks. Nowadays, it's mostly bollocks. I don't know whether that's just reflective of the general trend in music, or safer programming.

When I was watching yesterday I seemed to have to pick the "Live" channel for the stage upon which the acts I wished to watch were performing, then flick backwards and forwards on that to see stuff earlier in the day. I don't know whether all of those will be available on demand as well but I hope so as i won't be able to watch everything each day necessarily.

They helpfully put the batting order with times on between the acts and the scroll bar at the bottom shows the time of day it was on rather than how many minutes or hours you are into the stream, so that is quite good

@Greatape Richard Thompson cancelled due to sickness.
