No-one seems to have started a thread so here goes!

Lewis Capaldi is on at the moment, good to see him performing after his health challenges last year. DGD had booked to see him but he cancelled because he was unwell.
He's so much more enjoyable to listen than today's rappers!

I'm looking forward to seeing The Searchers. 🙂

Me too. But I don’t think it’s likely now. I did go to one of the very early ones but didn’t stay.

I’ve never heard of the 1975 confused.

Me neither

Lewis Capaldi is very talented.
I have never wanted to go to Glastonbury , the festival that is, as it’s my idea of hell.Either a cold muddy hell or a boiling hot more traditional hell😂

The 1975 aren't my cup of tea, but they've been around for quite a while now. Lead singer Matty Healy is the son of Denise Welch and Tim Healy.

Lewis was brilliant, so pleased he is making a recovery, looking forward to Neil Young tonight.

I love Crosby Stills Nash and Young.

I saw them all at Wembley stadium in 1974.
Such a special time seeing them all live.

I don't like Neil Young so much on his own but will watch him tonight.

Looks positive for Neil Young’s set to be broadcast after all. Unless he changes his mind again!

MayBee70 Sat 28-Jun-25 13:13:12

I didn’t bother watching Lewis Capaldi when he first came on; not my sort of music. However, when they showed it again later on I watched the whole set and thought he was wonderful and I was really moved by how emotional he was. As for the 1975; no wonder I’ve never come across them before. Indie rock band my foot. I wouldn’t go to one of their concerts if you paid me. Dreary doesn’t even begin to describe them.

Just watching the 1975, don't really know much about them but quite enjoying it

Is Neil Young's performance going to be televised? I thought I heard on news this morning it wasn't

ViceVersa Sat 28-Jun-25 13:16:30

No, apparently at Neil Young's own request, his slot won't be televised.

NotAGran55 Sat 28-Jun-25 13:27:53

When I posted 45 minutes ago I had just read that Neil Young’s set was going to be broadcast after all…..

ViceVersa Sat 28-Jun-25 13:30:37

Oh yes, just seen an update on the BBC website which says it will be broadcast. I guess it's just a case of watch this space, lol

Denise Welch’s sons band

Haven’t watched it for a few years- maybe having no license has something to do with it 😊
I do like Neil Young, so if they do show his set, may have to get mum to record it.

Bridie22 Sat 28-Jun-25 13:42:14

Oh yes, his slot will be televised approx 10pm.

twiglet77 Sat 28-Jun-25 14:24:40

I’m so disappointed that the BBC didn’t show The Searchers playing their last ever performance.

glammagran Sat 28-Jun-25 14:31:21

I think The Searchers are appearing on a stage not being televised. Could be the Acoustic stage.

And was slightly the worse for wear when interviewed.

DH is getting anxious about missing Ezra Collective - his favourite band at the moment - as he also wants to watch the U21s

One of ours too!

My favourite band yesterday were BadBadNotGood on West Holts stage. However, their drummer is exceedingly annoying (but not his drumming).

Yes, they are.

Watching Pulp 🙂

So am I.

Does anyone know when Scissor Sisters are on?

Tonight, 22.30

Thanks, ViceVersa

I’ve just realised we’re missing MissA. She’s always good fun on the Glastonbury threads. Hope she’s doing OK.
