    I agree, not often on my playlist but totally unique and some unworldly tunes.

    He must've been unsignable when he started ...

    ... weird voice, weird songs, hard to look at, unpleasant nature and no dress sense.

    But strangely compelling.

    So far my picks have been

    1. franz Ferdinand (seen em loads so I’m biased)
    2. Wet leg (the sheer energy of that lead singer !)
    3. John Fogerty (love CCR TO BITS)
    4. Amyl and the sniffers
    5. (Don’t hate me for this) Jade
    6. Pulp
    7. Busta Rhymez
    8. 1975 - I wanted to hate them I really did
    I need to watch some of the others still but feel free to recommend

    Hoping for Rocking in the free world and Powderfinger, that would make Neil Young's set for me.

    It all feels a bit odd to me. Was Glastonbury ever meant to be mostly about acts that were popular 20 or many more year ago?

    Today looks like a canny decent day of bands. For me, not been much over the weekend to enjoy it get excited about.

    What they have really knacked up this year is the scheduling of the artists. Fields getting closed for access as it's too full because there is no competition to split the crowds.

    Neil Young didn't even fill half the pyramid stage, that's unheard of on a Saturday night.

    They definitely could have taken a few that are due to play today and spread across the Friday and Saturday.

    Some canny big clashes today but that will divide the crowds as it's mean to do.
