O'Doyle Rules

Personal branding of sh*thousery 🙂

Heyyy boosted the Sunday vibe for a little while!

Just wishful thinking and more pot stirring given I am struggling with 0 lineup news 😄 Having listened to it yesterday then saw the Irish gigs announced, felt like a "ahhh this is a perfect glasto secret set booking". Agree, though unfortunately - think the festival would probably stay well clear. No need to bring unnecessary negative press on itself when you have many bands able to do it. Pretty sure AF have been doing festivals for a while though right? If they do though, call me the oracle. Has glastonbury booked a seriously questionable booking in recent years? Perhaps Kanye but maybe that was before the more sinister stuff?

I think people forget Coldplay at Glastonbury are actually very very good. Cant see Stevie being better than 2010 though and Dua Lipa will be Billie esque - not iconic but not bad

Random but watching Frank Sinatra on BBC4 atm. Would he have been the greatest legends act had he been around this day and age? Or perhaps maybe even headliner or nothing?

Primavera has some good names - surely we're going to see Pulp and Justice?

When I win it you're all welcome for Glasto prinks.

Hoping that there is more of a shift towards Silver Hayes to balance the crowds - was good this year.

I wonder if they lost more registrations than they thought and, coupled with increased prices and cost of living, want to boost registrations again to guarantee sell-out.

Have already seen in groups people going "oh I will try then if they're on sale then - thought i missed it" Going to be tough.

Completely agree - this will lead to increased demand.

I’ve had a few drinks but….my god he was good wasn’t he.

I don't understand why not one payment method is being accepted.

haha yes I am the exact same - will try monzo.

Can you only pay with Amex on the Axs resale? Keep getting pushed back. Looking for one Strokes ticket!

haha just that I swear people here years ago were saying Wilco only a matter of time when half the population had no f**king idea who they were 😄

I am getting strong Wilco must headline vibes from c.2009. This person is not headlining.

haha yes this person is pure sass

Anyone heard of any chance of a few more gigs being planned? Although essentially a tribute 2.0, it was excellent. Would happily have another singalong.

The thing is, you will go if you really want to. Whether trying for tickets or volunteering. You do need to have your number with as many groups as possible - bud you really really owe it on them to communicate clearly and quickly once your ticket has been bought. I’ve seen it happen where people are blocked out.

Someone has mentioned but I do think that was probably the peak of Glastonbury in terms of the excitement, scale and coverage re a headliner (by virtue of them having booked nearly every other legend over the years). Can't see that level of mass excitement happening in the future. Doesn't mean there are not going to be great headline sets and future stars (of course there will be) but in a weird way it like a passing of the torch for the festival to the next generation rather than constantly looking back to grab "legends". And I think Elton wanted it that way.

Re-watching this. I think it actually is in the top 3 greatest ever glastonbury headline sets. His voice is shot but my god that crowd was special and he really knew what a glastonbury slot meant. A legend being a legend - perfection.
