Glastonbury 2023 anyone plan to watch?

I found Rick Astley - DD used to love his music, I used to hear his voice wafting downstairs and I must say his voice is still very strong, unlike some other performers.

Lewis Capaldi writes the most beautiful songs but felt he was struggling tonight.

Yes his Tourette’s seemed particularly challenging during his performance. Good set but I wish he’d kept his shirt on.

Loved Rick Astley. Very polished performance.

Absolutely loved Lewis Capaldi, but you could see he was really struggling with his tourettes tonight. He apparently said earlier this year that he may have to give up singing because of it, would be such a terrible shame if that happened, such a beautiful voice.

Lizzo was great!

He cancelled some of his concerts in the last few weeks to 'save himself for Glastonbury'.
He has more concerts planned and if he cancels he will leave more fans very disappointed.

Very unprofessional.

I wouldn't say it's unprofessional, he is clearly really struggling against the tourettes, he appeared quite emotional towards the end as didn't appear to be able to finish the last song because of it.

Rick Astley and Lewis Capaldi definitely outshone Axl Rose who is showing his age.

Well, I hope they get a refun if he cancels.

Agree Rick Astley brilliant, Lewis Capaldi bless him did struggle but they crowd were fantastic.
Lizzo, loved her what a set!
Its been good so far, wish I was there.

That’s really judgemental Callistemon he cannot control his condition. Maybe Lewis Capaldi should stick to song writing. His songs are beautiful.

I am missing George Ezra this year. He was on the secret stage last year.

I think it’s unfair to say he was unprofessional. He is a superb singer/songwriter who suffers increasingly with Tourette’s syndrome. Stress brought on by performing makes it worse. To do his best for his fans was great but not for his condition, as we ( who saw him on tv) could plainly comprehend.

Visgirl Lizzie was amazing but when I look at the sea of people I am happy not to be there.

I didn't say he was this evening.

However, cancelling other concerts at short notice to 'save himself for Glastonbury' certainly let down a lot of fans, which was unprofessional.

I hope he's not "too exhausted" to perform at his future concerts. He'll lose a lot of fans if he does.

Agree Rick Astley brilliant

He was and I liked the fact that he gave members of his band a chance for solos.

If he does cancel, it isn't because he is "too exhausted" as you sarcastically comment, it is because he cannot physically sing due to the tourettes. He rested for the previous 3 weeks in the hope that it would help tonight, but unfortunately the tourettes still got the better of him. I very much doubt he will lose fans because of something he has no control over.

In the wrong job then?

He should stick to song-writing for others instead of disappointing fans, some of whom have saved for tickets to see him.

sarcastic?
No, realistic.

Maybe you should ask some of his fans how they feel after watching him struggle tonight, doubt many of them would agree with you, and I'm pretty sure they would be given refunds in any case. There's more to life than money, especially when it involves someone's health.

There's more to life than money
Yes, but when someone has saved up their pocket money for weeks then are let down it's a tough lesson.

And I do agree There's more to life than money so this might not be the best career choice for someone with problems, however talented.

Caught the Arctic Monkeys and a bit of the Foo Fighters last night. Now watching Guns 'n Roses. Axl may be getting a bit past it but Slash is as brilliant as ever.

GnR played Donington the week after my second child was born. I thought Axl was gorgeous then. Now he looks like Donald Trump. The singing is better than at the start of the set but he’s really lost whatever it was that he had. Slash and Duff are still super cool!

I was thinking that he looked like Eddie Izzard…
