I'm not a huge McCartney fan, but at least he's a proper musician from a proper band

That Billie eilish pish just shows how far standards have slipped with the youth when it comes to music

Download was much better....

The line up in my opinion is poor, but there is always something for everyone, and no matter what you're into, it is the best festival in the world

That's a bit unfair on Paul McCartney, like Mal nowadays I'm not a big fan but he's still worthy of top spot.

Scozza get yourself some tickets for that Abba faux concert that's played by computer software, that'll be more your thing

Noel Gallagher was good, few Oasis classics

Started watching PM then turned it off. Just seen breakfast TV this morning, Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen on stage with him!

Pet shop boys tonight

Diana Ross was awful 😞 totally out of tune , these ageing stars gotta know when to retire gracefully.
Enjoyed Noel playing some classic tunes.

So after watching pet shop boys last night, I quickly came to the conclusion that they were head and shoulders above anyone else at Glastonbury this year, a set that will probably go down in the legendary category

saw the mighty Rammstein last night...ive seen them a few times now and they blow any band off the planet with the show.

Glasto, this syear has to be the worst ever line in since it started, absolute shockingly bad

Agreed, the line up was poor this year, but there is always something for everyone, which what makes it so good. I've been when there has been great line ups, and not so good line ups, you still have a good time and watch live music

They are quite fantastic live

I'd put Maiden, Metallica and nine inch nails up there as best live bands I've seen.

And Bruno Mars.... that lad can sing and his band were tight as flip

Music has always been a vehicle for political views, and Glastonbury is the perfect event to air those views given the vast audiences. I didn't see any "snowflake" issues being raised.

Pet Shop Boys blew the place to bits; stunning performance and shame they were not on the main stage as it was better than anything else that happened all weekend.

I always think of this when I see the old "snowflake" come out



I caught the final 3 tracks of the Bicep set. Now that looked like something I would want to be involved in.
Never been to Glastonbury, doubt I would bother now, too commercial compared to what is was.

It's good to know snowflake is many things to different people, for everyone promoting one view there's about 1 million others

For me a snowflake is a soft **** who needs a reality check and needs to stop living in a dreamers world where everything is nice and fluffy. In other words, grow some knackers and man up

In the old days of course, Glastonbury would have had nothing to do with any of that lefty nonsense, partnering instead with, er, CND.

Sounds alright.

It does indeed mean so many things. Like " keep it real" and "old school"

Means everything and therfore nothing.


An example Piers Morgan likes to use the terms Woke and Snowflake a lot.

Yet he totally lost his **** over Greg's making a Vegan sausage roll. Not replaced the pork one, just an additional one.

He stormed out of his own broadcast when a weatherman
Said he was obsessed with Megan Markle.


It's all so subjective.

Not a Piers Morgan fan but if he loses he temper is that a sign of wokery and snowflakeness?
Acting like a knob certainly but is he being a woke snowflake?
I'd say no he's just being an obnoxious ****, but as you say we all have our own interpretations

Bit of a waste of time Thunberg making that speech on stage about all things environmental only for the lefty luvvies to stick two fingers up and leave it a complete sh*t hole again.

No doubt 1000's of tents left were behind destined for landfill.
I hope Greta didn't fly there.

Edit
More like 5,000 tents

Definitely it's being a Snowflake.
Getting all upset about what others say and do is surely
The very essence of the fragility referred to by the term
'Snowflake'

Disgraceful, like a day ticket

On a serious note, been to the Leeds fest a few times ad other concerts, where the **** does it all go, disposal generation, sad really

So much for the eco warriors eh

I take your point, I see snowflakes more likely to cry, take it up and 'share' with other like minded people rather than get up, shout and act aggressively, but as I say I take your point

I agree we seem to have become a disposal generation.
Maybe Glastonbury should have put a refundable deposit on bottles and cans

Indeed. That's why it's used as a derogatory term.
All part of the divide and conquer culture wars.

I see no difference between someone complaining about a slavers statue and someone complaing about a sausage roll. When it comes to snowflaking.

Of course the press stir up both so we take sides.

Shame and Viagra Boys both ripped the festival to shreds this year. Check their sets out, genuinely exciting live bands, superb. The Murder Capital were also very, very good. Thought Arctic Monkeys and GnR were awful, and for different reasons, but Elton nailed it (minus the guest slots.) Rick Astley and Blossoms playing The Smiths was surprisingly good. Despite it having become more commercial over the years, Glastonbury always has something for everyone, and the smaller stages have some absolute gems.

My missus saw him in 2015 and was disappointed, she was expecting the man of bling, wild costumes and full of energy.
8 years later and it looked to me and the missus that he had trouble walking. I know we should make allowances for age but we both thought it was a little bit boring.

Let's be fair, he has been battered round the ring for that many years, it's a wonder he can even walk, saying that, looks like it has taken its toll. The man can sing though
