To be fair, they compensate by playing recorded sets on the radio for most of July. (I confess I start to bore of that, as very few outdoor live audio recordings work out well and/or capture the spirit of a live performance).

They seem to nail the sound really well compared to some other 'fests. Even weird corners of the Pyramid field when you can't be arsed negotiating the hordes, ie. chilling near the Cider Bus

Here we are againI am.
May well have just sat in The Glade partaking of a few ciders given the heat. The iPlayer set list is going down a treat though. Cure and Radiohead on later.
Ticket in the bank for next year, so not all doom and gloom. Cheers all
12 months on, iPlayer Glasto going down well with a few cold ones and Arcade Fire doin their thang.
May have been a bit soggy last couple of days, but hey, a small price to pay for some real freedom and live music! Surely 2022?
Have a great evening one and all

Recreate Glasto?...How am I going to get tons of mud, whiffy portaloos, over-priced food & 150,000 people into my back garden?
(BTW, I have been to it four times).

Well, I ain't not never been to that there Glasto. Sometimes I think of of as a regret, but pretty sure I'd not enjoy several days of slumming it and sleep deprivation, even if I was in my twenties. I'll be watching some of the highlights of it from yesteryear, least that way you don't end up caked in mud and slop. Also never been to the lakes, or the highlands, or even to Cornwall. Oh well, maybe some day eh.

I don't give a flying fark about Glastonbury, whether virtual or actual.
As for the BBC, it seems like a Glasto is a bit of a summer holiday weekend for the "talent". But it's in their briefing pack that they must mention mud at every broadcast.....

Is Paul McCartney the main turn? If so, talk about scraping the barrel.

Aye, Macca's there partying like it's 1965.

I was a Beatles 'fan' with my Beatles toy electric guitar in 1965.
He was good then, but at 80 he's way past it. Just like the Rolling Stones are now, and I'm a former Stones fan from when they were good. There comes a time when it's time to let go.

You can’t have it both ways.
Moaning about Paul McCartey being too old. Then moaning about not knowing who Billie Ellish is.
