Love this time of year when Glastonbury is on D'Telly.

Any acts you're looking forward to or any you suggest watching.

Biffy Clyro, Neil young & The Prodigy are my 3.

The 1975 have been suggested to me.

Like tuning into different bands and different stages late in the evening

Pity the red button doesn't work anymore

Have seen most of the bands live ...The 1975 are good

Pisses me off big time ...the flags that are placed out from the stage I'd go mad if I was behind one

It's been a good couple of days already! Yesterday i started the day with Tengger who were this weird new age family group playing a keyboard, a harmonium, and some bells who made this ambient drone sound with improvised singing on top.... and finished off with Elvana who are a nirvana covers band with the front man dressed as Elvis. Today is CMAT, wet leg, Lewis capaldi, Alanis morrisette, self esteem, floating points, Fourtet, and camelphat.

I read it as he has requested not to be broadcast at all. The 70s version of himself would sure have something to say about his more recent self

Alanis Morissette today, Wet Leg...Looking forward to Rod Steward and many more.

Do I care about Neil Young not being on the telly? Not really, still, he's great musician, in my opinion. But don't mind me, I think, U2 is shoite

I love watching the BBC coverage, the presenters, the chats and interviews and the performances, it's all brilliant.

But I can't get BBC this year so I'm even more jealous, any online streaming options?

We love love Glastonbury weekend around here bag of cans ,vinos and plenty singing along all weekend. Loved cmat performance and Alains morrissette was like being back in our teens again. Looking forward to the 1975 later although I will say headliners this yr are poor need to up their game a bit.

Set of the day so far was CMAT, but floating points this evening in Woodsies was also completely brilliant. Currently waiting on Camelphat to come out and then it's off to the NYC downlow for some dirty dancing

I have to get some sleep to be in shape for tomorrow!

Yeah I walked through and the pyramid field was fuller for both Alanis and CMAT than it was for the 1975.

Kneecap at 4pm and the festival app already prewarned of bigger than normal crowds there so I'm heading over there first. Bob Vylan is before which is completely perfect.

Not as many acts that I like this year compared to previous years (sign of getting old?). But a 3 way clash right now with TV on the Radio, Gary Numan and Pulp.

If you were watching NY on the telly, then sound wasn't great, however, I have noticed, that BBC2 has better sound than BBC1 for some reason. As for the crowd, it was respectable. In my opinion, plenty and variety of other big acts at the same time and grumpy old man, who was enjoying himself tremendously, is not for everyone.

Pity about the 'Black' stain on the fest of love, yesterday.

Thought NY gave a good account of himself from watching on the TV. He'd put a lot of the younger performers to shame belting out rocking in the free world.

Yeah there was so much other stuff on at the same time that the crowds were elsewhere unfortunately.

Libertines were the usual entertaining shambles, just arrived for Turnstile, then its Nile Rodgers, Prodigy, Sub focus, and if my legs stand it Marc Rebillet. Today is the hottest it's nearly unbearable

It was one of those performances where you could pop your head up and turn in a 360 degree circle and literally only see people dancing like a lunatics as far as the eye can see in every direction

The new tunes were great too I liked that one maxim introduced as one from the ragga twins.
