    Jaysus poor Slaves on the "introducing" stage. They've been "introducing" for the last 2-3 years.

    I can't understand how this is popular and accepted at Glastonbury yet the decision to allow genuine stars like Jay Z and Kanye to headline was ridiculed.

    Well Grime music is an english genre of Rap so that helps a bit.

    I'd love to go too, i believe it's a mare to get tickets for though. Plus it'd probably take a few years off my life given the partying i tend to do at these things. Went to a week long one in Portugal last year and it took about a month to get over it!

    BBC presenters not exactly gushing in their praise. He did well on his own and my eight year old loved it.

    That's strange. Usually they're praising every headliner to the skies no matter how good or bad they were.

    But it just doesn't compare talentwise to the 2 rappers I mentioned.

    Possibly due to Ed holding the BBC up and being late to the stage.

    God I wish i was at it.

    It was streaming on the BBC website. I posed a link a few pages back. It's region blocked but Hola gets around that.

    Just found them on BBc red button, thanks for the recommendation. Unfortunately BBC are having technical difficulties playing the gig:(

    I nearly wish the coverage wasn't so good. The depression of not being there having experienced it so knowing just how amazing it is and then watching it on TV is too great.

    Console yourself with being in a warm bed tonight, as opposed to a five hour exodus from the wee hours later like clamouring onto the last helicopter out of Saigon.

    I was there in 07 and agree..everybody goes and does their own thing...def no bull****e or rowdy drunks either..

    Very true. It's not really about the headliners. Waking up on the Friday morning and hearing bands sound-checking is almost like a jolt... You realise that not only are you having a great time but now there's a huge variety of music to listen to for the next three days!! Greenfields is a world on its own. Most of the armchair boards commentators probably have never been to a gig let alone a festival...just worrying about negative equity and their next car colour.

    Don't think he did an encore. He said before the second last song that he was doing just 2 more so he just played straight through.

    He was probably trying to calm those nerves. He must have been bricking it before he went on stage as he looked proper nervy for Castle on the Hill.

    Do the red button channels work in Ireland? I remember I used to have it but that may have been when I lived in the UK

    They got rid of them, but you can tune them into the "other channels" section of the sky box options.

    That isn't for age yet, sure you would just be heading off to Arcadia, Block 9, Shangri la etc at this times :(
