    Crikey what’s happened to the guy from Dexys? Looks so ill.

    One of the Sugababes simply cannot sing.

    Mary Wallopers (Irish band) - love that.

    There’s alot of utter dross on this “highlights” programme. By that, I don’t mean taste in music - I mean just crap performers.

    Kevin Rowland, nearly 71. He could well have been poorly.

    Don't worry it's nearly time for Dua and special guests :) The press caught her earlier out with her parents and brother.

    Any positive observations? (Genuine question, not snarky, I’m not watching).

    The Mary Wallopers were excellent entertainment.

    It sounds like some cats are being strangled at the moment if the noises from the other room is Glastonbury.

    I love "Gino", so I was disappointed with that performance by Dexy's Midnight Runners, and I'm not sure why Norman Cook wanted to go back to playing bass with The Housemartins, knowing that he's better on his own.

    Paul heatons set was excellent' nice to see Norman back on stage with him. Hacked off that squeeze's set wasn't televised' they're one of the best live bands i've seen' very disappointing.

    Watched Duo Lippy for 5 minutes then switched off. All sounded so samey.
    I believe her name translates to Two Flaps.
    Nice legs though.

    Been watching for half an hour or so and falling asleep. Doesn’t seem a good fit for a Glastonbury headliner
    Giving up now

    Yeah Mary Wallopers - great.
    Dua Leaper doing a good show. Not really my kind of thing but decent.
    Some of the off stage (in front of the presenters) stuff is bizarre to say the least.
    Not seen the Squeeze set yet - disappointed it was so early in the day.

    Dua smashed it. 28 is pretty young to headline but she got through 19 songs and 5 costume changes. The live vocals were good and she's the nearest we've got to our own Taylor Swift.

    Coldplay again tomorrow. They perform too often there. SZA on Sunday is scraping the barrel but then in the past ten years or so very few new worldwide stars have been created so it's never been easier to headline Glastonbury.
