BBC Glastonbury viewers complain and 'switch off' Blondie's set

Many Glastonbury viewers watching BBC coverage at home voiced their complaints during Blondie's set on Sunday evening.

Music legend Debbie Harry, 77, and the rest of the band took to the Pyramid stage at 5pm on Sunday, June 25, but many fans said they were forced to switch off over sound complaints. It comes after similar complaints made about Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose during the band's headline set on Saturday, Somerset Live reports.

Similar complaints have been made about some main stage acts during the festival, while others seem to have escaped the "issues".

Kate said: "Great to see Blondie - although the sound could be better!" and Matt said: "I've never been more offended by a sound engineer than listening to this one mess up Blondie at #Glastonbury"

Freddie said: "Sadly had to turn off Blondie. The sound is terrible. I can't put up with that for another hour." Jo said: "Love Blondie but the sound is poor quality for them". Ant said: "Sound levels are off AGAIN, can barely hear the vocals".

It was the third time Blondie have performed at Worthy Farm, after coming to the festival in 1999 and again in 2014. Reflecting on this, Debbie Harry told crowds: "We've got a long track record with you guys so thank you very much for that."
