Any of you guys there ? Watching on TV ? Great sets from The Pretenders (Nostalgic) , Kris Kristoffesen (That guy was awsome at 81 and so many good songs with a touch of dry humour thrown in) and Royal Blood really rocked my knacks off. Have to experiment with that octovator on the bass tomorrow. Looking forward to Radio head.  Never dissapoint

I'm in two minds whether to try and catch Kris Kristofferson on catch up somewhere. He's one of my heroes. But a friend said he was awful and his voice was shot and he wished he hadn't seen it :-(

Other than that I don't think I've heard of more than about 5% of the acts that I've seen are on. Couldn't name or recognise any Radiohead or Foo Fighter songs, and no more than one Ed Sheerhan song.

I saw a bit of Kris Kristofferson, and I'd advise you to give it a wide berth Del. T'was truly disappointing.

I saw some royal blood who are very good at what they do, though it's not really my scene. Saw some radiohead, but they weren't doing it for me, so I might come back to it today.

I don't know the line up, so I'll be poking around iplayer all weekend I expect. But Lianne LaHavas is always damn good live as Boydie says, and I'm looking forward to seeing what Lorde can do.

Will probably watch the Foos too (although I prefer QOTSA but I get into trouble every time I say that :p )

Any other recommends would be good to hear

I went back and watched Radiohead properly this morning. It's a bit slow to get going, but once they're in the flow it's epic. Thom Yorke has the most incredible voice - it's so expressive that even when he doesn't quite get a note, it doesn't matter. Because you still want to cry/ laugh/ fight/ love/ dance. That man is a shaman. Just beautiful.

Watching Lorde now. Good so far, will report back if the performance warrants it ;)

I saw some of Kris kristofferson, I was surprised to see Jack Sparrow on stage with him.

It wasn't great but then the guy is suffering from Lyme disease so fair play to him still being up there at 81.

I saw a bit of Katy Perry tonight,those two guitar player made little effort to even pretend they played the solo. I always though Glasto was 100% live,but maybe some acts are more live than others.  ;)

Hopefully there will be highlights later,as I'd like to see Radiohead.

I hear a lots of Thom Yorke's style/voice in your songs,Tone.

Just watched the Radiohead set from last night. Mixed feelings really. The guys are so tallented and inventive. As Tone said, the set took a while to get going and fair play for mixing it up a bit and getting new stuff out there. I did enjoy the last half hour though and Creep gets me every time. One of my top ten songs ever I guess. Really wanted to see Toots & the Maytals but apparently they forgot what the time was so they put on the Kaiser Chiefs and I turned off after two minutes. So friggin pretentious

:o blimey, thanks Skub. If I can get even 1/4 of the emotion in my music that man produces, I'll be happy.

@Boydie, yeah that was pretty funny. Saw it on reddit this morning, started the day with a good chuckle.

After seeing the Flaming Lips live in Hull last night I'll be watching their Glastonbury set on BBC iplayer to see if Wayne Coyne crowd surfs in an inflatable bubble and rides a unicorn. Amazing, and the music wasn't bad either.

Some great stuff on over the weekend. Saw Flaming Lips at Victorious a couple of years ago. Plenty of inflatables there then. Just caught up with the Foos marathon. What a great rock and roll band. So much other great stuff to catch up on that I think I will give Ed a miss
