    I reckon they're the greatest purveyors of supermarket music the world has ever known.

    My ex (from 20 years ago) used to have them on her phone’s ringtone. Definitely affects my opinion of them. Took her to watch blink and she described it as “just noise”. No idea why we split up.

    I've just watched Coldplay on BBC i player.I thought the whole set was incredible.
    Theres something powerful the way Chris Martin as the crowd in his hands both young and older.

    I've watched it this afternoon (the missus put it on), have to say it was an entertaining set, impressive, and I'm absolutely no fan of their music either, find it very bland.

    Not gonna bother watching TBH. A lot of other music I'm more interested in TBH. I saw them live once at Blackpool Empress Ballroom, supporting Embrace. My mate was on the road crew as drum tech, (later for Kaiser Chiefs). I thought they were OK, but a bit boring, clearly I'm out of touch.

    I’ve no idea who the headline is now, but I can’t recall anybody being this bad to close the festival. Wow.

    I can’t say I’ve paid much attention to Avril Lavigne for about 20 years since my school days but I’ve just watched her set today & she was great. Cracking crowd for it too.

    Avril is brilliant and should have been on the pyramid stage. Some of the footage on social media it didn't look safe at all. They underestimated her draw and people had to watch her from the campsite.

    I can't remember a bigger headline flop. The crowd was sparse and people were able to find somewhere to sit to watch with a perfect view.

    This whilst acts like Avril Lavigne and Sugababes were on lesser stages that were overcrowded.
