The BBC coverage was pretty good last year - I'm hoping to see Bruce and Blur this weekend.

My bruv set off at 7.00 this morning - he's just heard he's 12 miles and four hours away from the site He thought he was setting off early to get a good spot!

Enjoying White Lies     I thought I'd never heard of them but listening to the radio all day helps!

Don't like Lily Allen, and don't like Britney, but that cover she did was superb.

Live music is amazing when done well.

I missed most of Lily Allen - I'm sure she'll be played over and over on the good old red button though!

Lady Gaga should be "interesting"

I was surprised how much I enjoyed Lily Allen. Even if I did want to stub the cigarette out on her.

A tight backing band makes so much difference to any performer. They were great.

I SO wish I was there.  I'd pay large sums to be front row for the boss.

You just can't beat the Specials BBC 4 now.

The Specials should just give up. They changed , all first time around and they're just contemptable now. A load of old buggers singing about doing too much, too young. Give it a rest chaps.

They've got half an hour to cover a music festival and they dedicate a good five minutes to some cretin with some cows.

Actually, the BBC gave from 7pm to 2am to it. And there will be around 24 hours coverage over the three days.

Their coverage is spot on, as far as I am concerned. People who are interested in this festival are not just going to watch from 10-10.30, so five minutes of that won't bother many people.

I rather enjoyed most of last night.

My mate plays drums for Lily Allen, I think she's quite a sweet person. Dreadful music though.

Glasto just looks a complete nightmare of a festival though, far too many people, much better on the tv!

I thought the Specials were quality last night. Just makes you realise how much tripe is around at the minute. Any wonder the music industry's in a state with the shite on offer.
