Jockstrap are pretty good and they met at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, so their music has a certain sophistication about it.

Oooof... I thought they were awful.  Sorry.

Their latest album is very highly rated (Top 20 AOTY 2022 on Metacritic), so beauty is in the eye of the beholder 

I'm looking forward to Caroline Polachek tomorrow evening, and I suppose she will be hated by many even though the critics love her. That's what makes music so great!

rick astley  was bloody great (i never thought i would say that). fair play to the gent he can play as well as sing (and by all accounts is a genuinely nice guy to boot). 

+1

 I thought I'd have a quick look, out of curiosity, and ended up watching the whole set. Great stuff.

Super stuff

Excellent, they really had fun up there and I thoroughly enjoyed it

Who'd have thought Rick is bigger than Elvis

Now Rick is smashing it with Blossoms doing a set of Smiths covers

Should The Smiths reform with Rick on vocals?

Manics fantastic on other stage. Best so far imho. Live now about 4 songs in.

This is Astley’s Glastonbury thus far.

Had to switch off 
used to like the artic monkeys but not listened to a lot of their newer stuff 
Alex Turner now looks like Richard Hammond trying to do an elvis impersonation 

Absolutely spot on! He's completely disappeared up his own arse. Some people can do the cool rockstar thing. He can't. He'd be better off sticking to being a working class Sheffield lad.

Lizzo killing it. Absolutely destroying.

Manics absolutely brilliant. Fantastic guitars too. That Eastman! Swoon! James Dean Bradfield incredibly underrated guitarist, singer, frontman, and songwriter. He was incredible.

Just based on JDBs ownership of one?  That's logic I can understand!

I saw them play in Blackwood in front of about 10 people when they were first starting out, and I've bumped into James a few times after that

Just tuned in for first moment I’ve had to hear myself think. Pretenders absolutely smashing it. Chrissie brilliant as ever, her guitar player is shit-hot.

DrCornelius

Guitar free but Kellis was fantastic

Agreed. Great guitar tones and rock attitude.

Just caught up with the Billy Nomates set from yesterday (Fri), and I thought she was fucking amazing.
