Glastonbury 2011

U2 are doing a boss job of headlining. Bringing some memories back here.

Noticed some of the lads were talking about it in the TV thread. Thought a thread was in order.

Nice one Kenny!

U2 have been excellent.

I watched Morrissey earlier as well and was also brilliant.

I'm hoping BBC will be showing some Primal Scream later as well.

As I said before, loved the scene with all the flares being let off.

U2 have been boss, but still need to go some way to topple The Boss from a couple of years ago, the best headline act at Glasto imo.

Agree mate. Springsteen has been the best headline I can remember.

Here we go.The song of the night.Watch the crowd erupt.

I'm hoping BBC will be showing some Primal Scream later as well.

On now BBC 2.

Moving On Up and Loaded!

U2! What a f**king brilliant set from them! Up there with Bruce Springsteen from two years back for me personally. Their Zoo TV like opening of 4 songs from Achtung Baby was breathtaking. Loved how they brought back the 'Everything you know is wrong' subliminal messaging as well for The Fly. And With Or Without You near the end was spin tingling. It was so excellent that I didn't realise they'd missed out one of my all time favourite U2 songs - City of Blinding Light. If New Years Day and The Unforgettable Fire were added to the setlist that would have been a massive bonus as well.

I don't care what you think of him away from the stage but Bono is the absolute show man. What a frontman, what a show, what a band!

Over to you Coldplay.

Anyone see Jessie J pluck that kid out of the audience. Was boss. You could see Jessie J was actually gob smacked into how good the kid was.

Head is currently nodding along to Biffy Clyro.

That girl was only about 11 or 12 but the sound of her voice was unbelievable and she wasn't fazed an iota by the huge crowd, she stood there and did her thing.

Watching Coldplay on now....excellent !!!

Best band I have seen live, I am a stranglers man myself seen then well in excess of 30 but the time I saw coldplay at the MEN they blew me away.

What an awe inspiring set by Coldplay. All the talk was aobut U2 and Beyonce but Coldplay bring out and WHAM...BEAT THAT! I've never heard a crowd effectively sing along to every tune like that. What a fantastic effort from that band.

Just about to post about it mate.

Coldplay were awesome tonight and although I enjoyed U2 last night this was even better.

To close the set on a brand new song as well.

Absolutely boss band...they were sensational and obviously didn't want to leave the stage....I'm pumped 

The new songs sounded great and really didn't seem out of place tonight.

Yep.

Chemical Brothers are brilliant.

Never really taken that much notice of them before, but I need to look into more of there stuff.

The Surrender album is my favourite of theirs. Don't have all their stuff but always liked them and they've always been good live from what I've seen.

coldplay spine tingling set. they were absolutely ball conquering

Check out Come With Us as well then. Both songs from the BBC highlights tonight are on those two albums.

Thanks Simon xx

Friendly Fire Jump In The Pool now. Great song!

The new songs sounded great and really didn't seem out of place tonight.

The new songs were so incredible. I think they sounded better than anything from their last album especially that Charlie Brown song. Incredible! But you can't beat a bit of In My Place live - one of several songs where Chris Martin was drowned out by the crowd!    Not afraid to say one of the best Glastonbury sets I have ever watched. Loved it from start to finish! Enough to rival Blur and Springsteen from two years back and U2 last night. One of THE live acts you have to see.

COLDPLAY - IN MY PLACE - GLASTONBURY 2011 LIVE HIGH QUALITY HD


Also caught some of Chemical Brothers. Sounded fantastic. Great talent they are. And as were Elbow who were just incredible.

Beyonce. Yum yum.

I'm watching Hurts on the red button coverage.

As much as Beyonce is easy on the eye, her music really isn't my cup of tea at all!

I was wondering if you were watching them  The oldies are the best Kenny 

Love Plan B  and I love this song - She Said

So which headliner owned stole the show this year? U2, Coldplay or Beyonce?

Didn't even watch Beyonce Frankly so can't comment. Not into her music at all but for me Coldplay were easily the best of the headliners and I actually thought U2 had a great set.

Coldplay was just a far superior performance but still not as good as their 2005 headline and nowhere near Bruce Springsteen from a couple of years ago.

I only seen two songs from Chemical Brothers set but it looked like a potential best performance.

Beyonce was very good tonight, but for me it has to be Coldplay, I thought they were awesome.

Not a fan of Beyonce's music but I know she's an incredible singer and can put on a show. But so can U2 and Coldplay who I am massive fans of. The most incredible live show I have ever seen was U2's Zoo TV Live From Sydney (get the DVD - it'll blow your mind!) and even though they were their slick, brilliant selves on Friday night, I felt Coldplay stole the show for me as well. Their 2002 headlining spot was brilliant (2005 was pretty good as well) but for me last night's was better. Up there to rival Blur and Springsteen two years ago.

I've hardly seen any of it.

Check Woodstock out for some iconic stuff, the comparisons are still viable.

None of the headliners this year were my cup of tea so I looked elsewhere.  Quite liked Janelle Monae's set (what I saw of it) and Queens of the stone age.

Queens of the Stone Age - No one knows (live @ Glastonbury 2011)

Enjoy!
