@@dilantl7603 Seen you in a couple other comment thread shitting on Grimes. Why are you even here? Hating on Grimes because she isn't conventionally and generically "good" is incredibly stupid. I pity you, your close-mindedness will never let you discover how much of a genius she really is. You have to realize that everything that comes out of Grimes is 99% Claire Boucher, even the visual art. But it's clear that you don't actually understand it.

I hate when audiences are silenced it makes the performance feel awkward

[@MaksoTheBass]

The audio was probably taken from the mixing board, in which case the audience isn't mic'd up and you shouldn't hear them :P

[@mikeprice25]

@@MaksoTheBass This isn't strictly true. Glastonbury always has audience facing mics as part of their stage set ups (also the case for some other festivals and gigs) and this is fed back into the in ear monitoring sometimes of artists, but is also fed to a separate mix for broadcast TV. The bbc typically do their own mixes for Glastonbury shows that are not taken from the FoH mixing desk. Occasionally some artists will provide the BBC with only the option to use the FoH mix
