Busta Rhymes takes the prize for top panto performance but Rod's run him close.

He does seem to have populated his band predominantly with gorgeous girlies. Not just backing singers, but fiddle players, harpists, mandolin players, banjo players (?) and vibes players, all of them in skimpy mini dresses and “fuck me” shoes.

The PHWOARR factor is definitely at the top of the scale.

Just seen a sign saying 'Nans for Rod'...

And Lee Anderson's on keyboards.

It is a bit like that gobshite plumber twat that went to Dubai to escape paying Labour taxes playing a concert. Do you a nice avocado bathroom suite, mate ?

Lovely old Tele on stage.

Have Wolf Alice ever missed Glastonbury? Perhaps they live in a cow shed on the Eavis farm.

A very flimsy take. If you've thought about quitting meat and dairy, moronic comments like this can only help convince you.

Fucking Glastonbury. I hate the fawning BBC coverage where every act is seminal/a cultural treasure etc, yet most of what I've seen has been a right old bag a shite. "They'd be paid off at the Neon" as my old man used to say, the Neon beimg the working mans club he visited every Friday night for 50 years. But, the thing I despise the most is that it's an open goal for the massed ranks of condescending, smug, self satified principle - free, Britain- hating right wing cunts in the media. Fuck the lot if them. Grrrr, I've spent too much time in the sun and drank too much Timmy Taylor's Landlord. I need a lie down.

Lulu's showed up. RonnieWood was decent.

Mrs A: "Is it pension day or something?"

I suspect your old man might ask you "If you don't like it, why are you watching it?"

All we have to look forward to now is photos of a messy field on Tuesday.

Well, you won't have to worry about it next year: there isn't one.

Whenever festivals are discussed, I always point out that I have never been to or played one, somehow forgetting that I was once at E-in-the-Park for Black Grape, Leftfield, and Massive attack. We were a bit turbo-fucked, to be honest.

But this Glastonbury seems to be underpinning a paradigm shift. People don't forget where they were or why they were there.

Once I might have fancied attending Worthy Farm and chilling over some great music and sunshine, with rivers of booze and maybe just a wee bit of happy baccy.

But not now. I’ve never been happy in large crowds, and the Glastonbury festival seems to have grown into a kind of monster. Effectively, a small city of about 200,000 people springs up in Pilton for the festival in the years it takes place, and that is, for me, uncomfortable, to put it mildly.

That coupled with the extensive BBC TVcoverage, the vast majority of which conjures from me an emphatic “MEH”, and a ticket price of 400 quid before you’ve even got round to paying £10.75 for a fucking vegan hotdog, and it’s a big No Thanks from the Abernathy camp. Yes, you might get a no-strings sexual encounter in an atmosphere of rampant hedonism, but alas I’m past all that mallarkey.

I take it all back. Robert Smith has just played two songs with Oliva Rodrigo and it was wonderful.

Adrian Chiles has been to “Glasto”. Slightly less worthless piece than usual .

Well, Olivia Rodrigo is …. unremarkable.

Old codgerdom is real. .

No idea how Michel Eavis keeps his enthusiam up.

He's pretty much retired now.

Yeah, I think Emily's been running the show for about a decade now.
