Best performances I have seen so far… Cat Stevens and the Pretenders the rest has been a bit meh 

Pretenders and Texas for me.

 

The Lathums were great too. As we're Blossoms and Rick Astley.

Manics nailed it for me. A proper rock band killing it. James Dean Bradfield is still brilliant. 

[trugerkem]

Yes Texas we’re decent also

Not seen them, but will definitely watch on catch up.

 

Right up my street. 

 

I think we've had a conversation before that we're similar age and like that kind of music

Whole vibe this year appeared to be aimed at the older festival goers, every time I've switched it it's been some old man or woman recreating their youth  not all bad admittedly. 

 

I think Elton's alright to be fair, just hit songs and crowd having fun.

It’s just a nostalgia fest

I’m in Plymouth but I did see them in 1997 

[masterg59]

I, for one am enjoying it, massive fan.

[Izzy]

I'm sure Elton with his half a billion in the bank won't mind a bit of piss take.

 

Tbf he's 76 now and his fans still love him.

 

That said, this feels like the prefect time for him to hang up his boots.

Its going to be that good, he's bringing out George Michael for Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me.

He’s not around anymore so he’s bringing out Philip Scoffield for a slightly different version.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Tbf it's insane the amount of hits he's had.

I think some of them will have literally gone specifically for Elton John.

I actually think it'd be great if he just bought Bernie on stage to take the vow at the end.

 

Failing that, the kid from Billy Elliott will do

He's had 57 top 40 hits in the US.

 

Second only to Elvis.

When I saw his walk on I feared the worst but it’s a pretty decent singalong 

[Izzy]

Philadelphia Freedom is my favourite song of his. Love it.

You've spelt Tiny Dancer wrong. AGAIN!

Impressive crowd…that’s about as far as it goes for me I’m afraid.
