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

For me there has always been something about the Manics, I think they draw me on on so many levels, the musicianship, the songs, the wisdom, the artistry, JDBs voice...

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.

They sound great, on the Park Stage if anyone is looking for them

Watched them earlier. Never heard of them before but really enjoyed their set. The joys of Glasto by armchair is that you never know what you might find. He breaks our a lovely blue Rickenbacker in a bit

She's kept her voice intact, quite remarkable.

Seeing GnR at Hyde Park this friday, The Pretenders are one of the support bands, Johnny Marr and Dave Grohl better be there too!

Anyway. 11/10 for the Pretenders.

Who’s on next?

Fiercely inspired youngsters, not typical pretty pop stars, but great songwriting & energy.

The Nova Twins are playing early tommorow if anybody likes that sort of thing.

Yeah the singer looks a bit like he runs North Korea, but still great to see some proper indie anthems!

Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness

Just awesome.

Think it would be an odd evening to be at the pyramid stage tonight. Lewis Capaldi singalongs followed by the funk soul of Lizzo topped off with GnR. I’m enjoying it from the sofa but it’s an odd mix.

Is that an Ivison on the GNR stage? Congrats @IvisonGuitars ;
