Agreed havenât see her play before but might have to see if I can find a ticket for Wednesday.
I sort of enjoyed yesterday⌠Spoon were by far the best band I saw. I cried during Inside Out because Iâm a painfully nostalgic person.
Despite not having listened to Broken Social Scene before, I enjoyed their set. However I could barely hear the female vocalist (sorry I donât know their names) because she was turned down too low and eventually the sound dipped to the point where I could hear everyone around me yapping.
I was so excited about The War on Drugs but I found it to be a proper slog. I donât think it helped that I was only a few rows from the front but everyone ahead of me was stood dead still which proper killed the vibe for me.
I probably wouldâve enjoyed The National more had I been nearer the stage but yeah they bossed that set and pretty much confirmed their place as a large outdoor festival headlining band. Although I was worried during the early run of new album songs when someone behind me âWhat the fuck is this?â to Walk It Back.
About Today was lovely although slightly ruined by some berk trying to make witty comments in reply to the lyrics and the Vanderlyle singalong didnât really work from far back.
Mmmmm but otherwise⌠it was alright.
Annie Clark- still cool as fuck and making it look effortless.
Fuckin Kylie
Hope ya enjoyed! Didnât last long at War on Drugs either
Just when I thought I couldnât feel worse about missing this Kylie shows up!
Donât worry, in another universe tonight was a rubbish evening and youâve not missed out on anything.
Innit!
Really enjoyed All Points East yesterday. Nadine Shah the pick of the bunch - properly fired up and angry rather than the usual âhello Londonâ bollocks. Really fierce little set from Brix and the Extricated too. Patti Smith must just about be the most venerated musician about today. Always love her sermonising. Cave carried the headline spot remarkably, and of course everyone got gooey over Kylie.
Fully enjoyed both days. Despite the sun* making me very sleepy yesterday and having to leave before Kylie came on
*2 days solid drinking
St Vincent was a bit of a funny one, hey? Sound was a bit off and the performance felt kind of flat and also I very much didnât enjoy Upskirt Cam.
Courtney Barnett was incredible and the first act in a long time that finished a 40+ minute set and I thought theyâd only been playing for 15 or so
She was ace
Probably because I was with other people so wasnât near the front but I found a lot of the music quite pedestrian- C Barnett, N Shah, etc.
Patti Smith was great as always and won round my sceptical friend.
2nd half of Nick Cave was fucking amazing. Into my arms was a _moment.
On a side note, I really hate festival beaurocracy. Was with my family for parts and really hate not being able to stand where I want to. You seem to spend half the festival looking for someone else.

First time Iâve seen St Vincent and I thought she was great Both of my kids (2 and 5) absolutely loved it too somewhat surprisingly. Upskirt cam was indeed a bit odd - noticed that she was wearing flesh coloured leggings so presumably this was a planned camera angle?
Courtney Barnett was fantastic - her guitar playing live reminds me of vintage J Mascis. Psyched to be seeing her again on Wednesday
Just before Nick Cave came on, there was a man holding up his bottle of beer and shouting at it âTHIS IS A HEINEKENâ. Quite enjoyed that.
thatâs very good indeed
At one point I was standing behind a woman with a tattoo of âThe Beast of Bolsoverâ on one shoulder and another guy identified as âJezzaâ on the other.
Did anyone see Black Foxxes? Only played for 30 minutes on the Jager stage but were bloody fantastic.
