Kasabian may have some big tunes but they really struggle for stage presence. Underwhelmed big time. They just aren't arrogant or different enough to be real headliners. And the set needs some variety as they can't just bang out swear words and noise and anthems and hope it works. A bit of variety would help? Or something more than pink and "put your hands up'.
Jack White, Jake Bugg and Arcade Fire have been the best performances at Glasto this year. Blondie weren't too bad either. Kasabian are decent, but not fantastic. Their early stuff is much better than the new crap. Metallica were Metallica, aka ****e.
Just back from Glasto. Some interesting comments on here. There is something for all ages. Hard to describe until you have tried it. Full range of music/bands/culture/food. Yes, you get the mud ...but the place is addictive.
Was a real mix including: Jack White, Massive Attack, Dolly Parton, Lily Allen, Arcade Fire, Rodrigo and Gabriela, Wailers, Paul Heaton, Bryan Ferry. For me Paul Heaton & Jacqui Abbot was the best set. Should have been on a bigger stage as the crowd was massive
