I'd reluctantly agree that she doesn't have enough 'hits' in the UK to do the Legend slot - or at least not enough with proven staying-power - but this is just straight up wrong lol, Control > Rhythm Nation > Janet > Velvet Rope is one of the all-time great album runs
I'd rather listen to All For You over all of them. But she has a heavy R&B/Funk edge and I don't.

I never thought I'd side with High Jass so much

At the risk of sounding like the Janet Stan that posted around the time, it can't be denied that she has "legend" status. I'm not going to list the huge list of evidence to support it, but it's all there with a quick Google
She honestly doesn't stick out to me as someone in that calibur. Forgettable with no Michael link.

Friday and Sunday free??
It'll be the Sunday. Also that means they will have used their 'energy' for their better paid gigs.

Janet Jackson has announced a new tour and finishes in the US a few days* before Glastonbury. I’m guessing she doesn’t have enough singalongs for a legends’ slot?
*edit - finishes 21st June
She would have to be a legend to be considered.

Didn' know Tool was touring again...
Florida, may 2023..
Maybe some names in Werchter ? ( Incubus, Mars Volta, Jason Bonham, Alter bridge etc.. ??
Think B4MV, Bloodwood, Alter Bridge, Coheed and Cambria, The Mars Volta and Pennywise will be there.

Andrew WK? Is he playing? Or are you just going by the guessed line up earlier in this thread?
Yeah just based on that guess.

With clean bandit and Rudimental headlining 😂
The undercard on the Clean Bandit day was way better though.
Under Johnny Marr there's naff all.

Ok that took a quick turn…. Is doing festivals
It's a shocket compared to Pennfest last year.

I absolutely would not have put a lot of those bands below those bigger two.

I am already looking forward to @Gossard and @thewayiam reaction when Lizzo is our following announcement confirming she is sub/co-headliner on Friday or Thursday! 😍
Rosalía as sub is an amazing addition in any case!
I would much rather Lizzo than Rosalia, that's not even close.

On one hand you've got RHCP who are an immediate repeat booking, AM's new album is an absolute turkey, Muse haven't made a good album in 18 years. Meanwhile Stromae's live show is electric, Rosalia had one of the best albums of the year, Fred Again is the biggest name in electronic music in a while.
All subjective of course but the rock in Rock Werchter this year is shit, frankly, aside from QOTSA.
If I was in Belgium and looking to go, I'd attend Friday for a day ticket and that is all.

I don't think Neil's trolling, there's definitely some deep-seated hatred for Axl and the gang, I'm just trying to get to the crux of that abhorrence.
I myself have an irrational dislike of the act in this very thread, and although I don't think they should be permitted within my county, let alone the festival, they'd be a popular act to throw on in the once proposed "rock slot".
You're right though, there's been some slow office days since the Elton announcement. Be nice if Emily could let us open a Christmas present early. We've been ever so good.
I think it's pure trolling.
You can dislike an act all you want but to say those four songs are basically awful. I think the bloke has got his sniff out 6 months early.

It’s the sort of act which will bring families in early. Razorlight might be one too but… Mcfly seem a very very obvious one
Oh I know, for me they are a bit of a joke act.
I can see Razorlight being The Libertines booking of this year. Them, The Coral, The Enemy is right up my street.
-
Rosalia and Ben Howard are about the two worst additions I can think of to a Rock Festival.
Rosalia, Queens then Monkeys is awful.
Friday looks good but Sunday my god.
What happened Rock Werchter?

Looks good but if it turns out like this, I'm scared of clashes. Never been to Download but i got tickets for next years. For example, I would wanna see Slipknot, Ghost and Simple Plan on the Sunday. Do they make that possible or will there be clashes?
The worst clash for me would be Ville Vallo vs Pendulum vs Andrew WK. Not seen the former or latter. Personally I don't think Andrew WK would close out a stage though and after last time I think they go on the Zippo.

Special guest…..
Really hope not.
Razorlight I think will be an afternoon special guest. They are on the riss again slowly and it'll get crowds in. Selling tickets the quickest they have for years.
Me personally I think they're material is better than any other newer indie band around atm.

Well actually…. Apparently playing this which happens to be…. August bank holiday weekend
That makes them a strong contender given RES is only a one venue event. Plus Bat for Lashes would definitely be an APE band which happens in August.

If that's the trio i might finally give this fest a go.
It's a decent festival. I just live a long way away from it.

Rancid doing their own UK tour dates Glastonbury week.

I can see Biffy and Kasabian for sure. The size and scale of the event has definitely levelled up, and while many rock acts would be earmarked for Reading & Leeds it's just not the same booking priorities anymore.
No. Victorious would do well to book the borderline rock acts that are current we will say with the nostagia of years gone by favourites. That's probably the kinda event I would attend. I'm not however in any rush to see either of those two or Jay Kay again.
I think Razorlight are going to get quite a good spot this year. They are certainly having a second blast of trajectory now then band are all back. Can't lie, they are definitely one of my favourite indie bands from the last 15 or so years and would I'd see again. Watching them at Splendor like 3rd down the bill felt like a highlight.

Too huge, tbf! Was just trying to come up with some acts all beginning with the same letter, after the "triple D" suggestion.
Emily would need to find some serious money down the back of the sofa for those three.
I would genuinely be happy if that trio was my last Glastonbury. 3 first time seeing acts.
I'd like the think that the passing of McVie has made Mac consider doing the festival a little bit more.

I would LOVE this on the farm.
And that's why Slam Dunk or Download don't have them. I'll be at Brixton 100%. Even if that means I've got to drive to London with a car packed full of festival gear and drive from London to Glastonbury after the gig.

The Sunday is alright for top lines but nothing for me overall but I don't expect it.
I do however think Glastonbury are going to jumo on Halsey.
Bad Religion or likely doing Slam Dunk or Download.
I can see Fred Again being book for WHs headliner and Other headliner back to back years.
The Mars Volta would be ace.
Bleachers for Glastonbury maybe.

The Prodigy at Exit festival starting July 6th I would think pretty much nods them in. I'm expecting Parklife to have them too.
If Splendour take to the next level they could even have them but I think that's not just yet.
