Glastonbury 2022

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

well that's the sad state of affairs of the modern day music scene...what's going to happen when the likes of McCartney, Elton John, Phil Collins finally retire there's no up & coming talent out there to match them

and please don't mention Bieber, Sheeran or Styles they're just glorified karaoke singers and as for Billie Eyelash? my god is that what young people are listening to these days?😶

Phil Collins?

Its sad really.

The Guardian gave Paul Mc Cartney 4/5 stars for his performance and also gave Billie Eilish 4/5 stars.😕

It seems the media is paid off by record companies.

Eilish is an industry plant, basically an actress, her brother writes most of her songs.

Milli Vanilli would be proud of her live shows.

Billie Eilish was just awful, Noel Gallagher oasis songs good, everything else sh*t, and as for 80 year old McCartney that was the worst headline act in years he’s 80 ffs. Awful festival and the future of “music” is in tatters, crowd looked like a bunch of nerds aswell

Is the crowd almost exclusively white? I was watching the audience of what look like white and presumably generally fairly comfortably-off folks singing along with the urban black artists.

Crowd is definitely more Wimbledon Tennis than smoking crack in a flat in Toxteth.

Posted this on the telly forum - but for those partially deaf people who think there is no good music at this or no new good music these days. Today stages have:

Nightmares on Wax 14:00 - 15:00

Nubya Garcia 15:30 - 16:30

Kendrick Lamar 21:45 - 23:15

This pretty much sums it up :)

Sure does 🤣🤣

In fairness to @fryup you can't put Bieber, Sheeran or Styles in the same league as their predecessors

I feel so out of touch in the context of Kendrick Lamar being a Glastonbury headline act! I have very broad musical taste and I think there's still lots of great music out there today. I look at the Longitude lineup, and I'm at least familiar with the likes of Dave, Megan Thee Stallion, Tyler the Creator, ASAP Rocky. Im familiar with some of the international rap and hip hop acts like Burna Boy and Sfera Ebbasta and think they're not bad actually.

But I can honestly say I know absolutely nothing by Kendrick Lamar. I know the name but don't remember ever hearing him played anywhere. I don't know even if he's British or American. No teenagers or younger people I know are into him. I was shocked he was announced as headline act. It's hard to believe I can be so completely unaware of someone deemed big enough to headline Glasto!

Although I'm not a big fan, I understood Jay Z and Kanye as headline acts and I knew the songs. I even understood why they chose Stormzy. How have I totally missed all knowledge of Kendrick Lamar??

Is he any good?!

Nubya Garcia taking to West Holts now.

Miles Davis at Isle of Wight 1970 is looking from behind the couch a little anxious and scared.

Sorry to derail the chat here, but can anyone tell me what to expect in the morning when looking for a bus back in to Bristol, is it mayhem, would it be advisable to pack up early as possible and get one of the early morning buses? Cheers! Just preparing myself for the horrors tomorrow 🙈

McCartney was great! last night - but it is a bit desperate that they have to rely on a old age pensioner as the headline act
