Killers decent viewing here. Stormzy wouldn't be my cup of tea but apparently he put on a great show.

The Fontaines DC set looked class they'll be great to watch live when they're home later in the year.
Killers not big enough to headline a Saturday night imo. Stormzy was good when he did the handful of songs I recognise but there were large parts where I didn't recognise the music and I was bored. Watched a wee bit of The Charlatans last night and Tim has A LOOK going! Liam's set earlier was decent enough in spite of him being a poor vocalist.

Strange statement one of the top bands around for nearly 20 years and enough easily enough anthems to cope with top billing.

They've been excellent so far!!

Recording it and will watch it back later. I've always found them a bit bland for my tastes but I recall they were good when they actually were a top band 10 years or so ago when they headlined. They'll get a fair hearing.

Killers have been superb so far

Amazing set from the Killers and guests

Take back what I said earlier. I'm only a couple of songs in (Spaceman) and Flowers is on it. Great frontman although he's bound to have some sweaty 🍒 in that suit

Ronnie Vannucci is an amazing drummer. Love him.

Killers very good and the addition of God that is Johnny Marr just made the whole thing!

Just saw Gojira tonight in Birmingham. They played a set at Glastonbury the night before. Even as a fan of metal I'm not sure having it a Glastonbury makes any sense. I get the idea of being open minded etc but metal music was always supposed to be out on its own or has evolved that way. Gojira were amazing tonight in a packed venue of their fans whereas in front of a non invested festival crowd it's going to fall a bit flat like a Leinster football final.

Killers were brilliant tonight , this charming man with Johnny Marr was an unexpected bonus

ONeill · June 30, 2019, 02:45:40 PM

The encore saved that last night. He needed a couple of guests. Up til then they were.....The Killers. Bland enough.

The Miley Cyrus set looked class. Can't believe I'm saying that.

Sunday's line up on all stages is weak. Is this year's Glastonbury the poorest of them all? Headline act of the whole festival are The Cure? as Gary Moore said, I knew it was time to quit that (Metalish music) when I was asked to put make-up on. The last headline act I thought fitted the occasion were the Foo Fighters.

Tony Baloney · June 30, 2019, 10:35:29 PM

Robert Smith sounds f**king amazing. They are a perfect Sunday night closer.

MS agree about The Foo Fighters.
