GnR were awesome fun. Elton was an all-timer. Only Arctics objectively lived up to their reputation as being dross, going through the motions etc.

Yeah, was more of a parody-predo. Think one punt is fine, e.g. Dave or O-Rod, but together it seems very weak. Foals I don't think would be asked unless Glasto was desperate and no other options were available. Dave/Coldplay/Dua, or, O-Rod/Rhianna/Dua would be better, or something along those lines would be better.

New 2024 predo: Foals/O-Rod/Dave

Just started updating the new sale group spreadsheet. It's a right head-f**k with the option of coaches and normal tickets, lol.

Hi, yeah, will have to check where we're at in our group. Been busy but gonna take a look this week!

I agree. O-Rod reminds me a bit of Taylor. All heartache and breakups. Not a fan, but can see she's getting there or there about for a headline slot. If it was Dave/ORod/Dua tho, feel like that's too punty.

Feel like there's a lot of crossover in genres tbh. Dua seems to be a bit dancier, albeit "dark".

No worries 😅 Always makes me giggle when places call themselves the 'World' something. I used to work in a city in Germany with maybe 500k people there and they called one shopping/business centre the World Trade Centre. There were about twenty firms there and they were all German. There was nothing international or special about it.

In the case of my comment, I think it's a case of "whooooosh!" on your part 😝

Elton didn't come about until the it was noticed the dates were changed, some time after the main sale.

One of those arenas is called the World Arena in fairness, so it's obviously way more, mega, mega important.

I mean, if Glasto (and patrons) can turn a blind eye to Cat Stevens playing after he directly and soberly called for the death of an author and gave the wishiest-washiest excuse for saying it *several* times, would it be that much of a stretch to allow Eric to play, given that he has directly condemned his outburst and recognised he had a drug/drink problem (which he partially blamed his outburst on) and went on to become 30 years sober as a result? In both cases, it's perhaps better to look at the modern man than the sins of his dumb utterances decades ago. Heck, even David Bowie said this - In one (interview), he (Bowie) told a reporter he thought “Britain could benefit from a fascist leader”. In another he said: “I believe very strongly in fascism … Adolf Hitler was one of the first rock stars.”

Yeah. The Mercury Music Prize isn't a great barometer for making it big, the kind of status at least to headline. There's plenty of nearly-men/women on there and a lot who sank.

A man can dream.

I'd go Prodigy since Justice were top in 2017 and never seen Prodigy at Glastonbury.

No Pressure?! I'd only need that song and Karl Urban turning up as a special guest and I'd be front and centre.

Prob about as famous in the UK for a meme with Kaitlin Jenner (or whichever Jenner it was) at a basketball game as his music.

There is still time to book Shania Twain tickets for this year. A future Legend's slot act?

I'd never seen those THC vape things before but someone offered me a toke on the Thursday and suddenly I was seeing them everywhere. Thought they were just normal vapes. It's interesting how a bit of ignorance can change your perspective of what's going on.

If there is a time and a place for German schlager at Glastonbury, 2024 is it. Pyramid, third down, Helene Fischer -

Around the time of the sale and resale you might see some threads on here asking people to join up, swap details (reg. numbers, phone numbers etc), and help each other get tickets. There's a bit of trust involved and a whole dollop of luck, but they've proved very or semi successful the last few years.

I think it's the only time I've seen such flagrant advertising in a crowd at Glasto. For the life of me though, I can't remember which band it was for.

I would absolutely write Bryan Adams alongside Celine Dion, Weeknd, Drake, as being very popular, but shite.

Alicia Keys and Annie Lennox in a collaboration. Maybe Alicia is too big for that slot. AL would be great though. Think she's given up touring, but could do a one off maybe.

You know what, I had no idea the Weeknd or Drake were from Canada. Maple syrup and Michael J Fox are all good in my book tho, fwiw.
