Not ideal for the vibe although organisers obviously don’t care about that these days. I think it'd also risk falling into the V Festival trap - it would totally turn off a large portion of the core audience that the festival relies on to buy tickets year after year, meaning if they couldn't repeat the trick the following year and the year after that etc then they could get into trouble quickly.

But you dont need to totally do that to get repeats. Because if the new comers enjoy the experience regardless of their favorite act playing thats how you can get em to come back. Gotta find revenue streams. And you dont need to repeat the same thing, just get whats next. Im curious if BST is going to make the lineup really varied for them. Might be a couple of K pop acts, but there likely is gonna be some british acts with em. also, this is how theyre gonna market Blackpink which certainly seems to be how they can make their own path and everything which plays into the fanbase too.

Yep, of course there's a chance you can create a regular customer out of someone who wouldn't previously have been interested, and that'd be one of the factors to be considered. If that gamble was taken and paid off it would be hailed as a genius move. But whether it's worth the risk of turning off a chunk of your traditional core audience or not is the (literal) multi million pound question. I'm not claiming to know the answer, as there's precedent for both success and failure doing that - trying to shift the audience profile backfired big time for V Festival, but around the same time Wireless did so with huge success.

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 BLACKPINK playing in a non-headline slot at G23 would be a win win for both parties. Everyone gets a cred boost and more exposure to otherwise ambivalent punters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stocky3000 Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Bon Iver have just announced a date in Sweden for June 10th which I guess puts them in the frame for Primavera and Down the Rabbit Hole etc. Tough one to place at Glasto these days.

Tough one to place at Glastonbury in general because they always seem to miss it despite having dates near it! Hopefully next year is the year.

Pastor.Of.Muppets Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Queens Of The Stone Age confirmed for Rock Werchter the weekend after Glasto. The weekend before Glasto they‘re already confirmed for Hurricane/Southside. After their cancelled festival tour this year where they were meant to headliner the Other, it makes them: Lock of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 I would. Glastonbury equivalent of: We opted for Disclosure and it was bobbins.

scatteredscreens Posted October 26, 2022 Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 Once Massive Attack finally release something new I'd like to see them back at Glastonbury. Been two occasions now where I've wanted to see them and they've either pulled out (Mad Cool 2018) or cancelled due to illness (Primavera 2022).

We were at massive attack and definitely not an exciting end to the festival - might have been lovely to see them elsewhere in the line-up. Just had a look at clashfinder and no good options jump out - hadn't heard of london grammar in 2014 sadly and James Blake or Kasabian wouldn't have been an improvement on massive attack. Anyone who did 1975 into Dolly into Sheeran on the Pyramid must have really struggled 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
