Glastonbury 2023


She's great.

So many comments regarding her statement - including a couple on here - are accusing her of being too thin-skinned, if you're gonna perform on a big stage you have to suck up the criticism etc. I'm with her all the way, it must be so much more shit being a female performer, it won't be just any individual comment on its own, like the wankers will make out, it will be the relentless wall of hateful crap from sad virgins posting from their mams' bedrooms about how it isn't proper cos there aren't "real musicians" behind her.

It must be horrendous just coping with wave after wave of garbage. Don't blame her at all for kicking off about it.
Good post. There’s a lot said about the rampant misogyny within festival lineups and this really is a prime example of the case. Glastonbury is arguably one of the better examples of more representative lineups though.

Some people go over the top, it’s always the case with twitter. It brings out the worst people.

That being said Ian brown got the same drunken karaoke comments when he did the same and played without a backing band.
 
Now if my memory is correct wasn't that Traci Lords the porn actress ? Loved the song and her work until I heard she'd lied about her age.....a lot of stuff had to be pulled from distribution and destroyed.
It was. They wanted Kylie, her management said she's not available, turned out years later she found out and they (her management) hadn't even asked her, she would have done it too.
Manics have been the best band at Glasto up till now imo. Brilliant.
James is a toppa guitarist heavily influenced by Slash
 
I've just changed my mind. Blossoms with Rick Astley doing The Smiths was absolutley amazing.

Certainly brought a smile to my face and it's fair to say there's not much that can do that these days.

People are far to precious, including the god like Johnny Marr. Saw him for about the 10th time, at Northumbria Uni last spring, he was absolutely f***ing brilliant. But that doesn't stop what Astley and Blossoms did tonight also being fantastic fun for all involved.
 
It's a bit weary during coverage, cross to presenters..........(Insert artist) played the (insert stage) and they were (insert over the top adjective).

They never say that anyone was canny good, all right or heaven forbid, a bit poor.

They’d get done for bullying if they did 🤣

So you want a match of the day version of Glastonbury because you can’t watch something for yourself and decide whether you like it or not?

Literally everybody who performs will get critical comments from all over, that isn't the point. I'm willing to bet that the volume, tone and directly hateful nature of what a female performer gets will be in a totally different league to that received by male equivalents.
