Happy Glastonbury!

[Vegas Claret]

She's OK, at least it's lively.
Check out her work with St. Vincent.

I think she is better than ok tbh, I've not seen too much of her, much better voice live than I thought she would have

[claret2018]

I think it's aimed at the younger section of the crowd but I get what you are talking about, considering some of the tracks are quite disco oriented it's coming across a bit flat even though I do think she is singing very well considering all the dancing. Good luck to her though, non offensive and does actually have a very good voice for the style of music

I was expecting a bit more funky disco backing. The band might as well have been a backing track.

[helmclaret]

Put IDLES on if you want proper music and performance.

So….. As much as this is a very professional and well rehearsed performance (she did say that they have been practicing since January for this gig) and she is definitely a talented performer, I still think that Britney Spears would do it better and provide more energy and dynamic.

Reminded me of Madonna

I think it’s a shame we never got to see Taylor Swift headline like 2020 was supposed to be. She’s probably too big for it now.

[Swizzlestick]

Sort of agree Dua Lipa has been a bit ‘by numbers’ but much better last half hour or so where the tracks seem to be in a more house mix for some reason. All the better for it.

[claret2018]

She hasn’t played her best song! (Future Nostalgia)

[Vegas Claret]

yes, I do think she would have done more "Glasto' versions of the tracks

I'm enjoying it for what it is though, like I said earlier, she seems a non offensive down to earth type, good luck to her

If they can get Jay-Z to do it at the absolute peak of his powers then they'll get her to do it for sure.

[RVclaret]

Well I thought Dua Lipa was impressive.

comments like that always make me laugh

[helmclaret]

It’s too sterile for me. I just don’t like
‘Live’ performances that sound just like the record.

Looking forward to Michael Kiwanuka today.

[ŽižkovClaret]

I don’t know. I like her albums and she can clearly sing, but there’s something lacking about this as a headline performance.

It felt very "2nd stage headliner". Just lacked that oomph.

Trouble is there is a lack of traditional headliners that haven't recently done the gig already.

[Rowls]

You craic me up, you're that desperate for attention that you start threads, pretending to have a slight interest but desperate to tell the world how much you don't

We can only view the world through our own lens, Burnley1989.

[Acting Claret]

Not sure when they are on but if you get the chance, check out The Lottery Winners.

[Dyched]

Just watching Dua Lipa right now on BBC1.
Knocks that Taylor Swift into a cocked hat.

Dua Lipa is a fraud rip off.

[Swizzlestick]

Dua Lipa is a fraud rip off.

Of who?

[Dyched]

Can’t find the video after looking. There was one knocking about on Instagram where she has clearly ripped off for 4/5 of “her” biggest songs.

[Swizzlestick]

Yes, the guy’s been widely called out for it, as the songs are literally off an album called Future Nostalgia which contain deliberate interpolations of earlier songs she had listened to while growing up. Break My Heart, which samples INXS - Need You Tonight, credits Michael Hutchence, for example.

[groove]

Idles was a proper Glasto performance. Dua Lipa, who has made some great pop records, was more Radio One Roadshow, which is what Glasto has become if we be honest.

[claret2018]

Idles have never done it for me. Same with Fontaines DC, Foals, Sleaford Mods. I find them all a bit try-hard.

[bodge]

Need to get Block 33 on at some point.

Just catching up iPlayer - lcd sound system are great, though if your unfamiliar with their work i could see some might struggle. Fortunate to see them live in Manchester many years ago pre pandemic

Aye I get what you're saying. They all try to be a bit too 'edgy'.

[Goalposts]

Caught up on lcd. - great band saw them around 2017 in manchester well worth watching though may not be everyone’s cup of tea.

Not a dua lipa fan - but fair play to the girl she put on a show of energy and catchy pop tunes , though at times it was like hearing snippets of music from my youth intervwoven into her own pastiche for the festival..

Ha we were probably at the same LCD gig - seen them four times in Manc now, always fantastic. Looks like James has been hitting the gym recently too.

Fantastic voice.

We’re waiting for Keane. Massive fans.

Assuming this was about Dua Lipa? It sums up my thoughts on that performance anyway. Nothing against her. Seemed to put on a show for those into it but it felt a bit beige/manufactured for me.

[todclaret]

Thoroughly enjoyed The Vaccines' set yesterday.
Looking forward to The Breeders this evening and James tomorrow.

[claret2018]

Bit more to go at today. I’m looking forward to Last Dinner Party, Yard Act, The Streets

[TheFamilyCat]

Fat White Family on at 4.30. One of the best live bands around.

[RVclaret]

Surprise set by Kasabian, lovely.

Thought he was brilliant. Cyndi though, mmm.

[ClaretDiver]

Had to laugh that there was a stall selling a vegan alternative to cocaine

[barnseytheclaret]

Looking forward to James tomorrow. Other stage 3-4, I think.

[helmclaret]

Thought he was brilliant. Cyndi though, mmm.

Saw him on Jools Holland a couple of years ago and tracked his progress since. Such a talent.

I’m not a Keane fan but Tom has got a great voice.

[TheFamilyCat]

Orbital at 9.15 tonight always deliver.

None of the headliners are really tempting me though. I doubt New Model Army will make it onto the iplayer.

[Goalposts]

Condition Lauder genuinely terrible

[RVclaret]

The Streets been great. Mike Skinner is superb.

Mannequin pussy is where it’s at!

Just watched Lankum. A great reshaping of traditional Irish music. Super set.

If Coldplay have a genius - its the wristbands the power of the collective and a shared experience -

[Newcastleclaret93]

I know people love music and attending festivals, however I do find it incredibly strange people watching festivals on the tv.
