Glastonbury 2016

[Alf]

A thread to talk about this year's festival, coming up this weekend.

Headline acts include Muse, Adele and Coldplay.

And legend Jeff Lynne of The Electric Light Orchestra and The Traveling Wilbury's will be making his Glastonbury debut on the Sunday afternoon, let's hope we have a Mr Blue Sky for that.

[Pete.]

Only here for Adele

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

People that are there and are complaining about the conditions get on my nerves. Shut the **** up, you know the score.

[Drew.]

Coldplay :clap1:

[Shaun]

none of these headliners are going to beat Kanye last year.

Depressing how both of my surprise-superstar contenders for a headlining spot this year have both ended up dead long before their time. And even more depressing knowing you're going to get saps like Coldplay trying to cover them.

[Crimson Dynamo]

West was tragic and roundly panned.

[zakman440]

Coldplay should be brilliant - I went to see them at Wembley last week and they were epic. Two hours of them is going to be brilliant :clap1:

[LaLaLand]

The lineup this year is brilliant bar Coldplay (again), always love watching Glasto.

[Ashley.]

This is all that matters.

[seanraff07]

Headliners are so middle of the road this year.

Have to say I prefer the look of some other stages or acts on earlier in the day.

Love watching music festivals on the TV, nothing beats live music.

[LaLaLand]

Anyone watching the live streams on BBC website?

Jess Glynne has KILLED IT! Amazing live

[Black Dagger]

Sigur Ros set is ****ing stunning and I'm crying.

[Braden]

I'm ****ing loving Underworld on BBC4.

[Braden]

...oh, they're not singing Born Slippy.

[LaLaLand]

Looking forward to Adele tonight, should be great.

Disclosure last night were awesome, just wish they had more "special guests" join them!

[Crimson Dynamo]

here for big fat adele

:love:

[Pete.]

THE Adele :love:

[Alf]

Love a bit of Madness

[Ammi]

....Adele...:lovedup:....

[Pete.]

She's killing it :worship: Can't wait to watch the beginning half

Can't believe someone literally passed out lmao impact

[Drew.]

She's been great. Don't see many artists soak it up and enjoy the moment as much as shes done

[Alf]

That crowd must be bored ****less

[Pete.]

That crowd must be bored ****less
That's why they're singing their hearts out I guess

[Braden]

I cringed when she brought Maria from Brazil on stage after Make You Feel My Love and she couldn't name any of the other acts she'd seen so far :joker:

[Ross.]

Adele was absolutely incredible, her personality is everything :worship: I ****ing love that woman :love:

[LaLaLand]

I would pay to go and watch Adele just be Adele without singing tbh. Just love her, soo friendly and warm.

[Denver]

Just saw Adele and only one word describes her Phenomenal.

I love how she doesnt need fancy dancers or staging her voice speaks volumes probably one of the best if not the best Glastonbury sets ever

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

Adele is a good singer and has good songs but her shows are so boring. Like if you don't need dancers or anything like that at least what you can do is switch up the songs a bit in like maybe a remix or something like that. I would fall asleep.

[seanraff07]

Adele shouldn't be headlining a festival.

Fatboy Slim was absolutely bouncing

[Crimson Dynamo]

I found Adele to be underwhelming]
]I fond her Schick insincere now "ooh get me i am just a cockney sparra" "look at how dawn to earth I am " oh ck off luv we have seen it and we know you aint now.

Personally I thought they whole thing was flat and a little incongruous

[Crimson Dynamo]

and i like adele

[Crimson Dynamo]

68 year old Jeff Lynne killing it on the pyramid stage at the mo. His voice as good today as it was in the 70s

remarkable man and music legend

:dance:

Rumours buzzing around that Rihanna and Noel Gallagher could join Coldplay on stage tonight, with Beyoncé and Jay Z also flying in to watch them perform:

747073139667046400

Word in the mud is, the more sensible Gallagher brother, a very hairy Bradley Cooper and Matt King (Superhans in Peep Show) were all hanging out together at The Park Stage's backstage bar last night. Our writer James Hall reckons that Gallagher may well join Coldplay on stage when they play Up&Up – for which he played guitar on the album A Head Full of Dreams. Seeing as he isn't billed to play this weekend, there could well be truth in the rumour.

The crowd are also being given Xylobands for tonight, which should look amazing :flutter: :

747039220611584001

[Drew.]

Really looking forwards to Coldplay later

[Crimson Dynamo]

I wish it was Noel Gallagher playing tonight instead of the insipid coldplay

[Ross.]

Beyonce's UK leg of her tour starts in two days so I don't think she's flying in specifically just to see Coldplay as they're suggesting :laugh:

Looking forward to them though

[Ammi]

...what happened to the girl I used to know..?...you let your mind out somewhere down the road...don't bring me down..:dance:...

[zakman440]

It's time :clap1:

[LaLaLand]

Sorry but I'm choosing amazing Earth, Wind & Fire over boring Coldplay tonight!

[zakman440]

[zakman440]

Fantastic tribute to Viola Beach :love:

[Drew.]

That was pretty special, amazing touch

[Ross.]

An amazing tribute :clap1:

Viva La Vida :love:

[Marsh.]

Adele shouldn't be headlining a festival.

One of the most popular global musicians headlining a music festival. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING????!!!!!!

[zakman440]

Michael Eavis closing the show :joker: :love:

[Shaun]

he's alright isn't he? :worry: like he's not terminal or something and doing a Blackstar kind of "know I'm dying so here's a song" thing :worry:

[zakman440]

That's without a doubt the best I've ever seen the band. Great to see so much love for them tonight :love:

[Ammi]

Michael Eavis closing the show :joker: :love:

...awww, how incredible were they Zak..:love:..:love:..:love:..you could feel the crowd and the atmosphere through the TV almost...amazing Glastonbury year....

[Ross.]

They put on a great show :clap1:

[Drew.]

That was amazing, it's stupid how many good songs they have. Would have been quite happy to listen to them for another few hours.

[Crimson Dynamo]

BTW EW&F were amazing

[Denver]

Top 3 sets

1) Adele
2) 1975
3) Bastille

[Braden]

I need to go to this festival at some point in my life. It's definitely on my bucket list.

I didn't catch Coldplay but will watch some of it tomorrow. I remember constantly watching them perform 'Fix You' on YouTube from when they played in 2011. Will look forward to the performance again.

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

The Coldplay tribute to Viola beach... :(

[the truth]

wow coldplay brought on the last remaining bee gee barry gibb at the end for a singsong, awesome and very moving
