As Glastonbury comes to an end, and the watch a long thread hits 3000 replies, this is a thread to shoutout highlights of the weekend, which will be available on iPlayer until the end of July

Really recommend catching Jade’s set. Really took me by surprise. Not sure why as Little Mix always had great tunes but a really clever pop set.

Sprints continue to be one of the greatest rock bands of modern times. Definitely need to see them live on this new album. The full set isn’t up yet but this track is

BBC are also putting some stuff on YouTube for anyone outside the UK to see tracks

I saw Cliffords in January and this song was a real standout of their set

I’ve just been keeping a list as I’ve gone along from everything I’ve actually seen. Note I haven’t seen Olivia yet.

This is in order of how much I enjoyed them. Clear winner at the top.

Doechii
Ezra Collective
Osees
Pulp
Fat Dog
Scissor Sisters
St. Vincent
Weezer
Turnstile
Gary Numan
Goat
Busta Rhymes
Charli xcx
The Prodigy

Prodigy at the bottom as even though it’s a heck of a show, it might as well have been Liam and Maxim with a bit of extra guitar, the ‘live’ness felt so fake.

Assuming Greep was great but I have no way of knowing.

Osees, Doechi, Sprints and Self Esteem my highlights, but I’ve barely scratched the surface.

Sprints were awesome at Wide Awake the other week. Think they’ve got a big headline show at the Troxy later in the year

Where is Neil Young on iplayer? Has he not given permission for it to be shown on the site?

It was absolutely astonishing, and incredibly angry in a very different way to say, Bob Vylan, in it’s politics. Quite hard to articulate, but if it were a flame it would be a steely blue one. Somehow resigned yet determined.

The arrangements for the Johnson’s of the stuff from Hopelessness are really something. I hope there’s an official live release of something from this tour.

St Vincent should come with a parental guidance warning

(for rocking so hard)
