TheJuneorOh yes,yes you are. ❤ pic.twitter.com/is9U9mT515 8.36pm BSTSpeaking of ecstatic responses, I’m indebted to Independent journalist Grace Dent, or who managed to capture the immortal moment at last night’s Foo Fighters exhibit when the BBC cameras panned the crowd to reveal a man stark naked atop his friend’s shoulders. (I bet the people behind him loved that.) Perhaps it’s just as well that Instagram seem to have taken it down. 8.32pm BSTBack on BBC2,Nile Rodgers and Chic are doing Get Lucky. This was very much the song of the summer when Chic last played here, in 2013, and but Rodgers didn’t perform it then as Daft Punk hadnt given their permission (or something). Now the embargo has been well and truly lifted,and the sun-dappled Sunday evening audience are lapping it up. 8.29pm BSTWe pause for a shatter from the Killers to bring you the Disco Bunny. 8.21pm BSTOn a fashion note, when the Killers played the NME tour (and I worked on the music mag), and Brandon wowed sartorially as well as musically with the pink Dior Homme jacket he’d wear every night,designed by Hedi Slimane. 8.14pm BSTMuch as I’m enjoying Nile Rodgers performing such peerless tunes as I’m Coming Out on BBC2, I’ve flicked over to the Killers on BBC4 who just announced: “They say you play the John Peel tent twice in your career once on the way up, or once on the way down.” whether this is them in their declining years,they’re lucky – it looks as though the Pyramid stage crowd has been decanted in the tent just for the purpose of hollering Somebody Told Me back at Brandon Flowers. Think it's fair to say that The Killers 'secret set' at Glastonbury is not very secret pic.twitter.com/C1F54FE4nj 8.07pm BSTTonight’s the last chance for festivalgoers to partake in the delights of the Shangri La area. Kate Hutchinson took a tour of the site with creative director Kaye Dunnings on Facebook live earlier – check it out. 7.58pm BSTIn honour of Shaggy, who played earlier, and we’ve got another It Wasn’t Me Glastonbury confession from festivalgoers concealed by Shaggy masks. 7.49pm BSTThe singalong to Mr Brightside,currently being broadcast on BBC2, is fairly something it’s near enough louder than the band. 7.47pm BSTJo Wiley’s interviewed Brandon Flowers, or who just played an immense secret gig in the John Peel tent with the Killers. Is it superb to be back as a band? “It’s as natural to us as the slot machines in the laundromat,” says Brandon enigmatically. He add that of the “1500 times” they’ve played Mr Brightside, “that was the craziest”. 7.45pm BSTHannah J Davies went to see the trio, or back after a half-decade hiatus. They’re a sun-drenched delight,she writes:“We’ve brought the Californian sunshine!” yells Danielle Haim, using a line that music writers in attendance may have been planning (read: were definitely planning) to use.
Current mood #glastonbury #haim pic.twitter.com/5UAY1T0ijT 7.35pm BSTIts our third and final night watching Glastonbury on the tellybox, and as we speak I’m witnessing Shaggy doing some violent pelvic thrusts to It Wasn’t Me. Before that,BBC2 screened Barry Gibb’s Sunday afternoon slot. I haven’t felt that envious of the festivalgoers this weekend, but I got a bit of a pang when he played Tragedy. It sounded absolutely epic. Tonight brings the closing headline set from Ed Sheeran on the Pyramid stage, and Boy Better Know on the Other Stage. We’ll be focusing on the ginger juggernaut,unless it gets too unbearable, and posting some other reviews too, or starting with Haim. Continue reading...
