Stagewatch #1: Pyramid - Friday Morning

Post categories:

Nigel SmithNigel Smith|12:42 UK time, Friday, 26 June 2009

Over the course of the weekend I'll be trying to gauge Twitter reaction to the bands appearing on Glastonbury's various stages.

Abba tribute act Bjorn Again started procedings at 11am this morning on Glastonbury's main stage, the Pyramid, kicking off with Waterloo but also covering Status Quo's Rockin' All Over the World.

  • wedderburned: why is the mama mia soundtrack on repeat and an unholy volume. Where is it coming from?


  • benjamin_cook: Bjorn Again on the Pyramid Stage - what a way to start the day! Mud, mud, everywhere... but doing little to dampen our spirits.


  • skiskool: Bjorn again, cover of rocking all over the world in false swedish accent from the aussies, somehow seemed to work, good kitsch fun


  • theskink: They were great! I'm thinking about forming a Bjorn Again tribute act.


Next up was Gabriella Cilmi who has the distinction of being the first act to drop a Jacko tune into their set. The young Aussie divided opinion musically but certain gents have taken note of what she was (just about) wearing.



  • dww84: Gabriella cilmi is the hottest cover singer at glasto.. All she's wearing is a pirate shirt...


  • skiskool: So cilmi doing a cover of zep's whole lotta love... is she a rocker at heart or did the band say they wanted to do one they like?


  • musosguide: After cutting past G Cilmi on Pyramid. Great voice, terrible songs


  • simons_twit: Gabriella Cilmi very nearly had a dress on. I mean, literally. It was like a man's shirt.




Finally, before the lunch break, Regina Spektor made her Glastonbury debut.
