Anyone been watching this?.I watched last night's show,in favour of the Mandela gig.

Some good bands were on show yesterday.We Are Scientists,The Feeling,Kings of Leon,but the best of the day imo were Editors.They just get better and better and are proving to be one of the best live acts around atm.The Birmingham band who's sound has been comapred to 'early U2' and Joy Division were real crowd pleasers.Tennesee outfit,Kings of Leon did an excellent headline set.

Tonight sees the contoversial emergence of rapper Jay-Z headlining Glastonbury.Rap music at Glastonbury has been heavily criticised recentley.But last's nights sets of Lupee Fiasco and the brilliant Estelle have set the platform whether rap music at Glastonbury can be finally appreciated.

The Verve headline tomorrow in what should be a brilliant finale.

Kings of Leon looked excellent, I must say!
Nice to see Jimmy Cliff as well, he can still move for someone his age.......puts me to shame!!

Jimmy Cliff's set was on BBC4,must of missed it as i was watching on BBC3.If one has the magic 'red button',they can watch whatever band they want.

I heard Shakin Stevens is playing there today !laugh!

Not all the tickets sold out before the event. The organiser said he hopes it would be a sell out - well I've news for him, he has. Rappers like Jay Zee, or whatever the b'hatch calls himself :) --- that's not music.
