BeebRock II - Music Shows on BBC Four, Sky Arts and everywhere else

Here’s the link for Fontaines set from here in the UK, can you access it over there?

Non-Glastonbury related news - five music channels on Sky (4Music, The Box, Kiss, Magic and Kerrang) are closing down on July 1st.

Surprised they last this long TBH, especially when you can watch videos on your phone.

I was practically raised on Linkin Park TV, I mean Kerrang TV. 😁

Is that woman from Dr strange trying to put a curse on people?

Coldplay’s set moved to BBC One right now.

watching back yesterday and spot the Oxegen Festival flag! Obscure!

god no, that would make far too much sense and be far too fun!

Coldplay are quite boring. Never was a big fan but it’s like all the work has been put in but the music is kind of meh.

Well that wasn’t worth waiting not! NO MORE TUNES…PLEASE!!

Yes, it was deeply shîte. It looked like they just used the press access because they only showed the first few songs in a set. Deeply frustrating if you liked a band and very disappointing if you were looking for a band to convert you to a fan. You saw basically nothing and then presenters acting like excited gimps telling you how great it all was. They’d have been better off not bothering.

RTE don't give a shít about even trying to give the viewers what they want. They bank their wages and that's all that matters.

11.15pm Highlights from across the weekend

J missed out completely on her earlier stuff. She really only hit my radar last September watching the coverage of BBC Radio 2 in the Park in Leicester. She did one of her earlier songs in last nights set and she blew the place apart. I’d sooner have seen her as a Friday night headliner than Dua Lipa just because I think she has more going on. She did mention she was the “fúcking queen of mid tempo in her earlier guise” in her intro to her earlier song. She definitely doesn’t seem to take herself too seriously and that made for a much better gig. It’s well worth a watch for anyone with iplayer. It really was the perfect antidote to Coldplay.

Thanks fur that video. That’s a great song. I get some SEAL

vibes from that which is great as he’s another artist I have a lot of time f in r, certainly his earlier stuff at least.

I’m surprised! She sounds absolutely brutal. If they weee all chambered it’d make sense. The whole thing sounds very off.

Not a country fan really but they’re generally great performers but this is just awful.

totally get that and her big albums that we all know were over produced to within an inch of tgeir lives. It’s just that country performers can usually deliver the goods live. She isn’t today. It sounds like her vocal ability has declined with age. Christ Diana Ross sounded better and she’s 25 years her senior!

ah that does explain it.

Two Door Cinema Club on BBC Two right now. 🙂

was boards.ie not consulted when Glasto were picking acts for this year? ALOT of unhappy middle aged men over on the Glasto thread 🫣

All the above channels are available on Virgin Digital. I will particularly miss 4Music, The Box and Magic around the Christmas period when they are playing Christmas songs and when I would be switching around between the various music channels.

BBC showed a repeat of Death in Paradise on BBC1 instead of covering the Glastonbury headliner on their main channel.

Smashing Pumpkins on TappyPappy - IIRC, this was when they were touring the UK and Ireland with ‘Mellon Collie’ - a woman died at the Dublin gig.

BUSTA! YAY!

WOO-HAH, WOO-HAH!! 😁
