She is absolutely superb. I've never been either, but she was very entertaining on TV. I did follow her back - imagine if this was true

Miley Cyrus was surprisingly good I thought, wouldn't normally have crossed the street to see her but was a powerful, if rather potty mouthed performance.

Not that impressed this year. Not my usual choice of music but I thought Jungle were great.

I agree with yourself and conyoviejo.

Kylie was the best though but both very good.

Fascination Street I think?

Proper band. Doubt they’ll have to resort to getting special guests up with them.

It just doesn't get any better, The Cure playing 'A Forest' - wow. It would blow my mind though if they did '10:15 Saturday Night'.

I saw them in ‘89 as well, at the Loreley Festival. Supported by The Mission, Sugarcubes and The Pixies (Doolittle had been released the month before!)

They were at the height of their powers. Was lucky to bump into Robert Smith in Heathrow a few years ago and he said The Prayer Tour had been his favourite one.

With cracking musicians aiding and abetting.
Great hour with Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra followed by Mavis Staples.

Young lad who got pulled on stage by that Grime artist Dave stole the weekend for me. He must be absolutely buzzing

I was quite taken by this lot, especially Christine.

- this bit was shown just after The Cure had come off the stage.

GIRLFRIEND - Christine and the Queens.

4 times, though not since 2014 (I've tried for tickets each subsequent year but haven't been lucky).

I never watch the coverage as it's not as good as the real deal.

Yeah right, MJ did a lot of great music, had tons of fans, made loads of $$$$$$, left a massive musical legacy [and yes the other stuff before someone mentions it..allegedly]...she'll be hoping for some of that.

Kevin Ayers and a band called Tir Na Nog I think is how you spell it,1971 if I'm correct great day out.

I’m sure she is and to be honest, good luck to her if she does. But all the hype she gets is ridiculous. She really could be singing over his old backing tracks - she even nicked the dance moves.

Loyalclaret · Post by **Loyalclaret** » Mon Jul 01, 2019 8:17 pm

Just got back from another amazing 6 days at Glastonbury. There is music from every genre; pop to punk, poetry to every variety of dance music before you even get to bands covered on Tv on the main stages.

Music from early morning until well.... early morning. Not just dance stuff, one minute it’s techno or house then a brass band or IDLES in the South East Corner in the early hours.

Too hot Saturday though
