I dont get Tame Impala. Very bland pop music. All I heard was a keyboard and high pitched singing. I mean there appeared to be a guitar player in the band.

All very bland and safe and boring but hey, great light show.

Wow, I don't even know much of Tame Impala apart from one or two songs. But The Less I Know The Better has a claim to be one of the greatest songs of the decade.

Never heard them described as safe or boring tbh, though I haven't caught the Glastonbury set yet.

I did really enjoy Fontaines DC set, been a while since we've had an Irish band make an impression on the likes of Glastonbury. Twitter seemed quite split about their performance but they're definitely not for everyone.

Interpol were Interpol, and that's fine for me.

The weather looks amazing there, like the Friday and Saturday at Body&Soul.

Stormzy stands out from the pack because todays hip-hop talent pool is at an all time low. He'd be lucky to see a record contract 20 years ago. He has absolutely no talent as a hip-hop artist.

Most of that crowd probably never heard a Blackalcious or Kool Keith album in their lives.

Tame Impala are like punk and alternative rock never happened and rock music went straight from ELO to now. Mind you I quite like ELO.

I just think Tame Impala have no spark or character and I don't like that psyche/prog rock sound that seems to be back in vogue.

Jon Hopkins was amazing! The sound system on west holts is such a monster. Most people I’ve talked to seem to have enjoyed Stormzy, maybe it came across differently on TV. Internet seems better now, I’ll try post some pics. Was anyone else at John Digweed on the glade on Thursday? One of the best sets I’ve ever been at, hilarious crowd of proper old skool ravers at it, I was the youngest by about 20 years.

I got to watch half the Jon Hopkins set on BBC iPlayer and then the stream failed but **** me it was incredible. I got as far as Open Eye Signal and it was mesmerising. His full set is on the BBC iplayer now so will watch that later with a smoke before the chemical brothers

Thanks for the updates madyaker....you are the bodhrandude of Glastonbury

I like Tame Impala well enough, its pretty toothless pop though & the world is full of amazing pop so they quickly get boring, some nice tunes.

The biggest gripe i have with them is that much of their sound is rooted in Dungen. Dungen make lush, romantic music. Tame Impala's attitude seems to be "lets junk all the AFX, folk, hiphop, jazz bits in Dungen & water down the psyche".

Jon Hopkins was great. Low are playing this evening, should be great also.

BBC red button showing lots of guff from yesterday, Lumineers, Tom Odell, George Ezra. yuck!

Tame Impala killer:filler ratio is awful.

Less I know the better
Let it happen
Elephant
Feels like we only go backwards

All amazing songs, anything else is quite bland and samey to my ears.

The live show adds some flavour I suppose.

BadTurtle

Jon Hopkins sounded very generic last night, but all his stuff since Immunity has been more or less the same.

THEDONWALDO

Charlatans were excellent, as was Maggie Rogers. Hozier was pure sh!t..

MadYaker

I thought Hozier sounded good, the crowd loved it. The sound on the pyramid seems better to me this year. I caught a bit of Sigrid on the other stage while walking past, not my thing but she sounded good. Foals up on the park was completely rammo, couldn’t really get near it.

Sigrid is on BBC now, sounds good.

They (Edith and the guy) were saying foals drew the biggest crowd they've seen in the park

Foals will presumably headline the festival in the next few years.

It looks like it.

If Janet Jackson was doing a gig in my front lawn I'd sit out in the back lawn.
Because she's shyte.

I’m trying to work out what’s actually going on....can you be miming and be out of tune at the same time...

Sound is brutal
