BST 2022

[sisco]

And still no support acts.  Really hope we hear something soon

[Matt42]

Wonder if Stones / Elton supports are behind contracts. People that have been asked by the artist to do it.

Are Years & Years free? Think they’d be a decent support for Elton.

Still think a Jack White / War on Drugs / Maneskin is coming for Rolling Stones.

[Damsonz]

And the Duran Duran line-up is still incomplete. 
The absence of Stones support info is particularly infuriating. I'd like to give them my money, but I don't want to choose a date and later find out that someone I really like is supporting them on the other date.

I still think Grace Jones may turn up on one of those three shows.

[BenG92]

Still nothing for Elton 6 weeks out. Guess they have no real need to announce given it's sold out but it would be nice to know. 

[zahidf]

Hopefully some news soon, given the stones have a support for Liverpool

I saw Celine in 2019, and the atmosphere of BST was chilled throughout the afternoon and into the evening. Looking forward to seeing Adele this year! 

Tickets have not appeared on the App yet, so hoping that happens soon!

Does seem mad the lack of support announced for all of the gigs so far! Not really that long to go 

[BenG92]

I'm gonna guess Sam Fender for Elton since 17 Going Under was his favourite album last year, and he's free in the UK 2 days after Glasto. I would bet he wants to give Sam more exposure over a band that don't need it.

If there’s anybody who doesn’t need more exposure right now in the U.K., it’s Sam Fender. I may be wrong, but I don’t think it’s gonna be anybody as big as him.

I'd agree. He already has the 2 killers support slots at the Emirates plus a sold out 45k capacity London headline of his own. 

I would guess he is still doing the killers gigs because he signed to do them when they were originally due to take place as that tour has kept most of its support acts.

Its the Finsbury show that suggests to me he's not supporting at any other London shows

Yeah I added the "more" before exposure, don't get me wrong, I firmly believe Fender will headline Leeds next year - but Elton isn't necessarily keeping track of that, he just sees a young artist who put out his favourite album of the year. I'm talking more exposure compared to, say, Pixies supporting PJ. 

[LazyDavid]

Springsteen has announced his 2023 European tour (minus UK & Belgium), seems to be a gap from 1st - 11th July which could be around the time BST happens next year

[Suprefan]

 

[sisco]

🤞🤞 they start adding more now to the rest of the lineups (especially the stones)

[atomised]

Sam fender, Phoebe bridgers and war on drugs amongst others for the stones gigs

Sir, this aged poorly.

That June 25th date is mad, somewhat annoyed I’m going on the 3rd… but oh well I will be at glasto.

Sam Fender seems to be following me around but I do really like him so can’t moan.  We catch catch Phoebe at Glasto I suppose

Ha my predictions and shooting down of acts usually do.

Those are both great lineups!

[sisco]

Didn’t realise The Dinner Party contained Kamasi Washington

[atomised]

Just booked for the 3rd

[Fleetwood_Mac_And_Cheese]

Cannot stand Courtney Barnett and I've seen Sam Fender already (once was enough).

Gutted to have tickets to that show rather than the 25th. 

Oh well. 

[BenG92]

That 25th is mega. If I wasn't already seeing TWOD and Phoebe this year I might have actually shelled out. 

Wonder if this rules Fender out for Elton, he was my guess. 

[BenG92]

Wonder if Elton brings Charli and Rina. Not the same style but still two of the biggest names in British pop and very LGBT. 

[Matt42]

Phoebe, The War on Drugs and The Rolling Stones in the same night for 70 odd quid is an absolute steal.
