Statistically a large number of the people at Glasto 2023 were 8 in 1993… If the avg age of 38 is to be believed. On the ground though, I’d say that statistically a large number of attendees this year weren’t born in 93!!! It’s not 1993, 2000 or even 2010 anymore… Things have moved on, the festival knows this, and they move with the times… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There used to headlining outright and are highly unlikely to want the 'legends' spot as a band that is still very much in their prime. Other stage headliner as a alternative to one of the poppier headliners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have obviously moved in, but that doesn't mean there shouldn't be a place for guitar bands. I think if Download booked no guitar orientated rock music at the very top it would be a sad year.

I really don’t know what this argument is trying to say. Black Crowes probably touring next year though, so both camps could be happy… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 I would hope to be uninterested in any of the Pyramid headliners or the legend slot. Sadly usually at least one draws me in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were way more youngsters there at the weekend than I expected when I read that avg age before… WAY more. The vast majority of people are under 35 I reckon, by some margin. But, there is still a good amount of older folk too, enough for anyone not to feel out of place. Were you by any chance only watching guitar bands?

lebenski Posted June 29, 2022 Report Share Posted June 29, 2022 I would genuinly like to see Tool at Glastonbury though and I think their heavy-proggy-psychedelia would be well suited to the festival. Again probably an Other Stage headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see them booked as a headliner, but we're probably years beyond that being realistic now. They're rumoured to headline Download next year again anyway (which they love playing) so...

That's fine, but don't pretend it's not going to stop a lot of people going - a lot of older folk used to post here about how great it was that Glastonbury line-ups catered to old and young - if you stop booking guitar bands from the 90s/00s in premium slots and have the likes of a Harry Styles / Taylor Swift / Dave trio as headline the festival is setting it's stall out for years to come. If it goes with something like Arctic Monkeys / Fleetwood Mac / Taylor Swift it's going to be somewhat closer to it's roots. I get it'll never be Coldplay / Radiohead / Blur type bands in one year again (as much as I'd love it) but the festival does need to be careful in finding a balance.

I don’t think they’re too worried about ticket sales… Since transitioning to a more diverse lineup ticket demand has sky rocketed to be around 20 people per ticket… I don’t think anybody can argue with that… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
