Plan B is rocking the house :pac:

Seriously, this festival used to be fantastic to watch

it is, when youre there. last year was fab, bbc showed none of the fab bits tho(IMHO), and i found 20 quid on the last day. bbc didnt show that!

Eels were great (and were given surprisingly good coverage on the red button).

Thought it was pretty cool that the OK Go singer got someone from the crowd to come up and play guitar for half a song.

You could tell of his uncomfortableness before the she played.

I'm not a fan of QOTSA but they should have been headliners. Beyonce Knowles was karaoke...a sham and a disgrace. I would have preferred Sonny Knowles.

Sir Gallagher

Plan B is just poxy. His voice is nowhere near strong enough for the big stage. The whole suit gimmick is just terrible too, its the middle of summer not a cloud in the sky and there's Plan running around in a suit sweating his bollox off. It's not cool looking just forced and twatty.

I cant get over people giving out so much about who is headlining on the sunday evening of glastonbury.

Ive been three times myself, all three years on the pyramid it was a classic performer, like your james browns, rod stewarts etc... followed up by a major pop star - its just how they do it.

There are something like 80 stages at glastonbury - the bbc are in about 8 at the most.. You are seeing one aspect of the festival watching the coverage on BBC.

I personally think she is doing a good job - Its good for the festival to have performers like her and Jay-Z perform - its a good novelty - they are very good performers - and a little bit of googling would show you the calibre of musicians that are in their bands. They would wipe the floor with any band you could think of..

Glastonbury is not a rock/indie festival.. Its a festival of the arts (thats its full title) that is all types of music - not just what you like. Get off your pseudo-muso high horses...

You know nothing about music.. And nobody cares what you think.. I am a queens fan, and I know they couldnt hold a two hour set to 170,000 people

He's planning a flick that'll make The Long Good Friday look like a picnic. The suit, the Strickland banks persona etc are all part of that image of his character for the upcoming film. Then why the ridiculous wimpy girly voice ?

Captain Darling

Yer man from Pendulum is playing Guitar Hero on stage!!

Sir Gallagher

To be fair to Beyonce she entertained the crowd and they seemed to have a good time. I was watching Paul Simon earlier on who'd be held in much higher esteem i suppose and the crowd looked bored out of their minds.

bullsh1t....beyonce has nothing to contribute....she sang half a dozen covers, never mind 'her' songs, written by a team of six. She is not an artist, she is a session singer with a record producer dad. She has no place at glastonbury. Anyone who thinks she does is retarded.

Ha ha ha. I could imagine the reception that "Dublin can be heaven, with coffee at eleven" would get in a packed auditorium with lasers and fireworks going off

No more posts about someone not knowing anything about music, or saying that someone is retarded for thinking x artsist isn't allowed at glasto or just being a dick in general. Play nice folks.

If you are such an authority on Glastonbury why aren't you at it?

He played a thug in Harry Brown with Michael Caine. He was decent enough in it from what I can remember. His next flick is going to be that Strickland Banks one I reckon. I don't understand though where the soulboy image fits in really....Dyer is a cinema prostitute. He'll appear in anything. He has only made one or two decent flims among a vast catalogue of gangster rubbish

Probably or maybe the rest of the gang didnt invest thier money as wisely.

It is a feel good classic tho ,and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous of them(the crowd)

After watching them perform Cherish and Get Down On It, I have to say, they put on a decent show and the crowd were well into it. For bonus marks - Kool is the bassist....

Disappointing that "Everyone Knows That You're Insane" was not there. "3's and 7's" is ace though as is "Go With The Flow"

In fairness to Paul , she's a much better dancer and looks a lot more fetching in a leotard.(probably)
