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. 🙂

The Somerset and Avon Police are investigating acts at Glastonbury this afternoon.

A rough guess from me is it will be Bob Vylan who was pro Palestine (rapping death to the IDF ) and Kneecap.

I am looking forward to Rod Stewart tomorrow.

And, as the guy from The Script ( who were excellent) said ‘nobodies on a mobile phone’. I’ll be giving Rod a miss now he seems to support Farage sad.

So am I.

Does anyone know when Scissor Sisters are on?

Tonight, 22.30

A group I recognise!! 😁

I’m watching Raye. I’ve been looking forward to this.

Tenko Sat 28-Jun-25 21:23:45

I watched John Fogerty earlier . He’s 80 and full of energy . Proud Mary really got the crowd going .

ViceVersa Sat 28-Jun-25 21:24:05

Pulp were excellent, as ever. Jarvis Cocker is a fantastic frontman.

Did Rod Stewart's music change when he announced that?

No, just his street cred.

Rod Stewart’s and Eric Clapton’s racist views were why Rock Against Racism was formed. Both supported Enoch Powell … and now Stewart supports Farage. What a surprise.

After the joyful Ezra Collective and everything good they stand for, his appearance will be sour. I hope the festival goers turn their backs on him.

He and Clapton built their careers on black music. They should be ashamed.

ViceVersa Sat 28-Jun-25 21:34:49

'Joyful' - now that one word really summed up the Ezra Collective's performance!

PoppyFlower Sat 28-Jun-25 21:38:55

Brilliant entertainment! Pulp, Ezra Collective, Raye, Skepta...a great evening's entertainment. Just joy!

kittylester Sat 28-Jun-25 21:39:03

They were completely joyful and do such good work too.

Casdon Sat 28-Jun-25 21:39:13

They are great aren’t they! I’m hoping to get to see them in Cardiff in August.

They are shouting for the death of Jews and you are worried about rod Stewart supporting a political party that we will win the next election.

I knew about Eric Clapton but not Rod Stewart.

I know?

I know Rod, he is a good guy

Allira Sat 28-Jun-25 22:03:04

Hate speech at Glastonbury. 😯

But it's calling for the death of Jews so some will think thst's ok.

I hope A&S Police investigate thoroughly

Rod Stewart was news to me too.

10:30 on Woodsies stage. I’ll be watching.

If you search for Glastonbury 2025 on Google all timings are listed for all stages

In what world does one cancel out the other?

merlotgran Sat 28-Jun-25 22:16:05

I’ll watch them on BBC1…If I can stay awake.

Well, if he doesn't bring his politics with him to Glastonbury there is no problem. He's there to perform, not promote political messages or hate speech.
So was Bob Vylan.

Casdon Sat 28-Jun-25 22:22:16

Until people perform you don’t know, there have been some shockers over the years - that’s why Kneebone weren’t shown live. I won’t be watching Rod to find out though, I’m afraid his glory days have passed.
