US rockers Blondie took to Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage on Sunday night (June 25), but fans were left frustrated following more sound issues.
Viewers watching BBC's televised coverage claimed they could not hear singer Debbie Harry against the rest of the band. Many took to social media, with some 'switching off' following the troubles, reports SomersetLive.
It comes after similar complaints were made about Guns N' Roses lead singer Axl Rose during the band's headline set on the Pyramid Stage on Saturday night (June 24). But last night, a spokesperson for Guns N' Roses told the Manchester Evening News that they looked into the matter.

They said it appears the broadcast had issues being played on certain TVs like UHDs and added that this was an unfortunate issue that the mix played through these TVs sounding so poorly and was not the band’s fault.
While viewers at home have made similar complaints about some acts on the main stage throughout the festival, others appear to have escaped the 'mic issues' plaguing the stage.
Some fans took to social media saying the instruments are too loud while Blondie was playing. One fan said: "Love Blondie but the sound is poor quality for them." Someone else said: "Sound is awful here for Blondie, backing music way too loud and can’t hear any vocals."
Another person added: "Blondie coming up soon on Glastonbury 2023 another blast from decades ago. One major complaint from tv viewers is the sound from the vocalists. It's not been the best, hopefully it's been a lot better for the live audience?"
"Sadly had to turn off Blondie. The sound is terrible. I can't put up with that for another hour," said another disappointed viewer.
Viewers will be hoping the rest of tonight's acts will be free from mic issues as they eagerly await headline performer Sir Elton John's Glastonbury debut set. The popstar is expected to take the stage at 9pm and fans have been attempting to guess who the Rocketman singer will have join him.
A BBC spokesperson said: “This year the BBC is bringing audiences amazing live performances straight from Glastonbury’s stages, with 40 hours of TV coverage, 85 hours of live radio and multiple streams on BBC iPlayer.”
