Glastonbury 2023

[GinAg (39)]

So this kicks off tomorrow. I must say the iPlayer coverage of this last year, was one of my TV highlights of the year. Hopefully we'll get some top end gay performances like last year. Not sure who's on this year, although Carly Rae Jepson stuck out.

 

[Halli]

Already scheduled in Elton at 9pm on Sunday in my friends garden
Looked yesterday and I'd like to catch Will Young and Mel C on the Avalon stage, and SEB and Blondie on the Pyramid stage Sunday

[Halli]

I've just put Texas on

 

[VoR]

Sharl attempting to get a sing-a-long going for a song they released later than 2001 is a bold choice.

 

[VoR]

God I can never get over what UTTER rip-off merchants Texas are. Whatever they're singing now is just Donna Summer's Love's Unkind with different lyrics.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I've popped FLO on, to see what they're like.

 

[Zu]

IS SAM SMITH APPEARING PLEASE

On the FISTING DUNGEON stage. They'll officially be the first ever gay to perform in public.

How exciting. And in their customary circus outfits I would hope

They did have a song a year or two ago which actually sampled Donna, so I assume it’s going to be that rather than just a rip off.

 

[Slave]

What a great turnout for Carly Rae Jepsen. I'm so pleased for her, although her live vocals occasionally sound a bit strained, particularly when she's doing older material. Which is to be expected, I guess.

Also hoping for Fairground Attraction and Deacon Blue

Very Destiny's Child for the outfits and harmonies. A little more Little Mix musically.

They shall suffice.

 

[GinAg (39)]

QUITE BIG TITS

 

[Lucille]

How exciting. And in their customary circus outfits I would hope

Always can be relied on for SUCH EXCITING FASHIONS

I assume this one was supposed to be mildly BOWIE-ESQUE but don’t fucking pair it with highlights and a boring hairdo courtesy of BEAUTY BY JILL!

Good fashion is when your outfit goes in MANY DIRECTIONS.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Switched over to CRJ, who is technically efficient, which I worry may be a recurring theme here.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Run Away With Me has perked things up, thanks GOODNESS

 

[GinAg (39)]

Talking To Yourself really is a BOP.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I Didn't Just Come Here To Dance

 

[Rachey]

Turns out I don't know a single Foo Fighters song.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Put CHVRCHES on. Much better.

 

[GinAg (39)]

CHVRCHES girl rather iconically just sweated her nipple cover out of her leg.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Now she's come out soaked in blood. Great set, really built up.

 

[GinAg (39)]

SHYGIRL

 

[GinAg (39)]

SHYGIRL

Obsessed. Please watch. She's EVERYTHING

 

[Halli]

I enjoyed Texas' set.

Will see if I can get Kelis at 22.15 on iplayer next

 

[VoR]

Kelis coming up

Glastonbury - West Holts Stage - Friday

[Ellie]

Cate Blanchett? WHAT?

 

[Jocasta Clun]

Sparks were quite something considering they've been AT IT FOR FIFTY YEARS

 

[GinAg (39)]

Kelis is SMASHINIG IT

 

[VoR]

This Kelis setlist is truly RELENTLESS

 

[Logic?]

The back end of the setlist really is TREMENDOUS

 

[octophone]

SHYGIRL

Is that still on the iPlayer? I love her - my biggest ASFM takeaway (thanks @Kate )

 

[octophone]

Cate Blanchett? WHAT?

Oh, the video is amazing and it was her who approached Sparks originally, rather than vice versa.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Yup
