Glastonbury 2024

I think it's been dreadful. A load of old pap.

The new interesting bands have been ignored by the BBC other than 6music.

Yep. Watching this on the iplayer UHD stream and it just sounds broken.

How can Glastonbury come from Dua Lip and Coldplay headliners and end up with this?

Yeah it is odd, they normally try to finish on a high on a Sunday night. But this just toilet.

The sound has been dodgy on the Pyramid all weekend, but I think that's been monitoring issues. This just sounds over processed, maybe it's meant to sound like that?

Anyway Justice are on now, going to finish up with some banging French electro.

They have fixed the issues now so she sounds good now. Sza’s audience is mainly under 20’s.

I only know her tunes due to going to see her last year with my 15 year old.

Not sure she is a Glastonbury artist. Huge in the states but not well known here to the over 30’s.

They got lots of grief over 3 male headliners last year so had to balance it this year and I guess the acts they wanted, turned them down or wanted too much cash. It clearly should be Taylor Swift up there, her tour was timed for it.

SZA sounds somewhat forgettable to me, not sure how many songs she's actually done, it just sounds like background music to me. Not sure about muffled but the vocal sounds digitised to me at times.

The coverage spent about 10 minutes introducing her as "She's household name, if you haven't heard of her...." and then went to to explain she's been around 10 years and made 2 albums. oh.

We have to appreciate that we're probably far from core audience But surely they could have found something a bit more interesting than shop music.

What a ton of crap, it's awful, her fat ass girating to prince

[SydneyBridge]

Lots of people leave on a sunday night to avoid the Monday rush, perhaps more than normal have left

[Bonefish Blues]

I can't say I've ever seen anyone rocking the leather thigh waders and moon boots look, it's quite a thing.

[rallye101]

She's now running around the stage with machetes.....genius!!

[zsdom]

It does seem a very anti climatic end to this years festival

[Miocene]

This is a rare miss when it comes to headliners. Flicked over a couple of times and admittedly I'm not familiar with her music at all, but the crowd says it all. Only people singing along are about 20. She just doesn't have the fan base here compared to the US I imagine (similar Spotify listeners to Dua fwiw).

[Heathwood]

What utter dross this is.

[Bonefish Blues]

We're gonna need bigger wings

[chrisgtx]

I’m watching Avril Lavigne on I player ,I can’t help but think they dropped a bk and should have had her headlining judging by the crowd participation and size.

[anonymoususer]

She is simply not well known enough.
She ain't no Ariana who would have pulled it off, Ditto for Miley/Taylor

[Chicken Chaser]

Totally flat. She's in no way a Sunday night headliner.

[Rob P]

Justice and giving me Daft Punk vibes. Awesome.

I’d go along with that too, pretty much everyone you saw in camera shot was singing along word for word.

The people that bought the albums in the early 2000’s are I imagine are the main demographic at Glastonbury now.

[BadOrangePete]

Watched 2 acts I'm gonna see soon (Idles and the Streets) Both great, especially Idles! Currently watching Softplay on Iplayer, tempted to get tickets for the Heavy Jelly tour, love these boys.

Off topic slightly, but, there are so many performers, do they get an automatic pass for all 3 days? Apparently Dua Lipa has been walking around seeing the sights, although she must of gone incognito in some way.
