You have some crazy takes my friend. Also it looks like glasto will be Diana’s first performance in the UK since 2008. It will be massive. Diana appeals to pretty much every glasto goer. The hard dance music heads who probably never venture out of the south east corner will probably swing over for Diana. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 @AlexOvd any reason why you want to push Emily’s info that all three headliners are solos aside? There’s 0 chance RHCP are playing. Zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Feels likely that they booked Taylor before they heard today's astounding news that John Frusciante has re-joined RHCP. Now that's out in the open it's pretty likely that they'll now have to bin Taylor off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this "music for teenage girls" nonsense really winds me up. So because 15 year old girls like her, you are shocked that she might be popular amongst "non 15 year old girls"? My 14 year old daughter absolutely loves her so she fits that demographic perfectly. She is literally on cloud nine now that it has been confirmed we will be seeing her next year on our first visit to the farm. On the other hand, I am Male, and approaching 50, so by your narrow view of things I really shouldn't like an artist like Taylor Swift? Well, I am also a massive fan. There is genuinely no act that would stop me from seeing her next June. I saw her live 2 years ago and she was amazing. So should Macca be the one who really excites me, because of my age? Is that how it should work? I was personally pretty underwhelmed by the Macca announcement, although I appreciate how big it is and will probably be there anyway. However, the Taylor Swift announcement is the one that has really gone down well in our house. I don't know why I am surprised, but it just saddens me to hear people dismissing an amazing artist like Taylor Swift using the rationale "it is music for young girls". Spot on. I too am the vintage side of 50 and am a huge fan. I’m off to Werchter and BST too none of my friends who are also going are under 40. Swift has a cross generational appeal, which may surprise many people. Will be a huge crowd on the Sunday, although I expect big alternates on the Other, JP, West Holts to spread the crowds out on the Sunday.

CaledonianGonzo Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 Does John Frusciante get given a new sock or has he got to pull on one that the other guy's been wearing for 10 years? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At no point have I said someone should or shouldn’t like anything. People can like what they want. All I have said is I am shocked at the popularity outside of what I would normally consider Taylor Swifts Target audience. I have listened to all of her music (my young nieces absolutely love her and want me to play it when they are with me) i am a pop fan and her music does nothing for me. I don’t see the talent that other do but each to their own. I know for a fact people don’t like a lot of the stuff I like. I think she is a perfect headliner for the pyramid stage, just I have no interest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robillustrates Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 haha this announcement makes zero difference.

My group have been talking about Diana like mad. Outside this forum people don’t really chat about Glastonbury. Funnily enough there have been more pressing matters on people’s minds. Once the week rolls around it will become clear that Diana is probably one of the most important bookings of the weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaKate Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I thought the reaction to Diana Ross when she was announced was overwhelmingly and entirely positive? Everyone seemed excited about it, which would make me think shes gunna pull a large crowd. I think people just tend to fixate on the next bit of info so shes not being talked about as much now.

Do you think I'm basing that judgement on just standing in the middle of the high street and listening out for people talking about Diana Ross playing Glastonbury?

Possibly. But, alternatively, maybe people were just big on that at the time because it was the only bit of info and weren't actually that excited seeing as it hasn't carried over.

Yeah it was. The "legend" slot is generally well received though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
