mandolin Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) I was thinking it was all a bit subdued too. A mix of it being no real surprise and it being a bit "meh", I reckon. Decided to make a concerted effort to listen to him after the announcement, I'll not be making that mistake again. Not that I think he's bad, it's just tedious (to my ears anyway). Not sure how he's going to hold a stage that isn't fronted completely by mega fans but what do I know. Edit: I know it's ridiculous that I'm saying the biggest selling male artist in the world is a bit "meh" but we are living in very strange times. This is one of the less-dangerous examples of it.

DTichborne Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 Oh no, Ed! The festival is ruined! Everyone get your deposits back. My first ever failure to secure tickets is unconnected to the previous paragraph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose-Colored Boy Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 The man himself has started his tour this very night. Pretty rudimentary setlist of old singles, a cover and three-quarters of the new album, nothing to write home about whatsoever but will do very well on the Pyramid http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/ed-sheeran/2017/pala-alpitour-turin-italy-7bf922a8.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bisque Posted March 16, 2017 Report Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) His en-core is ropey as f**k Potential special guests?

I don't personally think Rudimental will be there, just because it will be too much shite to set up just for a guest appearance and the fact everyone would have forgotten about them by now! I reckon Stormzy is pretty likely and yeah maybe T-Swizzle as well actually, not sure about Pharrell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want that to happen just so we get endless rumours throughout the fallow year about how Reginald signed up to headline in 2019 whilst on the farm for Ed, and then having read said rumours he feels obliged to sign up to headline in 2019 even though he didn't want to.

mjsell Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I have to say having gone through some of the reactions on twitter to the announcement I was quite surprised by the level of dislike towards him. I thought the twittersphere would be lapping it up for the most part but it genuinely was fairly evenly split. I know this is a completely un-scientific measurement but it's made me feel slightly better about the resale so il take it. What with his fanbase swayed towards teenage girls, maybe the huge upsurge in demand for resale tickets that I was expecting won't be as bad as first feared. School still happens right?

Bisque Posted March 17, 2017 Report Share Posted March 17, 2017 I would say: Most Ed Sheeran fans won't have a Glastonbury ticket (or one to his gigs by the sounds of it), the fans of Ed at Glasto probably don't have twitter, the efests lot knew ages ago, don't care & are in a minority & I reckon people going on a whim for resales for Ed will screw over people genuinely going for the full Glastonbury.
