Headliners 2023

We really need a headliner announcement and a couple of decent indications on the other two. Ultimately, they'll get it right (they seldom don't) and it'll be amazing. We just seem to be stuck in some kind of weird soul destroying vortex of mediocrity at the moment. 

Its the legend thats the issue more than the headliners. Does the legend come with the poster or early - can't remember.

dunno why people are panicking, only November and it already looks like Arctic Monkeys, The Prodigy and Pulp are nailed on, with a strong possibility of either Elton John, Dua Lipa or Rihanna in the mix. Shaping up to be a strong lineup I'd say. And even if GnR play, they're still one of the biggest rock acts of all time, even if Axel can't sing anymore

Are we? I think it's all a bit of fun at the minute. Throwing random names at the wall. I don't think it's as doom and gloom.

Yeah, it's all a little tongue-in-cheek too, I get that. And yeah, it's fun. But let's aim high! As I said, they'll get it right and it'll be amazing

Complete bollocks, obviously, just another confused musician thrown a question on a red carpet. He probably means they're talking a bit about him rejoining the band.

Yep absolutely.. I'm as obsessed with Glastonbury as anyone and a lot moreso than most - but I do find the constant "are you playing Glastonbury" type questions that artists constantly get asked out of the blue to be irritating. I mean, he probably doesn't even have a real answer anyway, and if he's had any kind of media training then he'll have been taught to give a "don't rule it out, don't confirm anything" response to questions like that.

DiRo was announced even earlier for 2020 - 10th October.

Going back in time:
2019 - Kylie 19th December
2017 - Gibb came with the 1st poster
2016 - ELO 1st Feb
2015 - Lionel 30th November
2014 - Dolly 27th Feb
Before that they always came with the poster.

Hmmm, maybe I sub-conciously saw it somewhere? I wonder if there's a source on the worldwide web where people could discover such important information?

If only, that would be really handy. There's always the OG

Pulp are pretty unlikely I'd say. Not nailed on AT ALL.

You think? Howcome - seems general consensus round here is they will be appearing. Touring all round the fest with a GSH, good friends with festival and not played for 10+ years

The 30th anniversary would be 2024 and most things I’ve read have suggested that, but maybe they’ve decided to do it a year earlier?

They're definitely putting a show together for July 2023.

Do you mean playing generally, or specifically the fact we're in the Headliners thread?

Bit of both. They won't headline I don't think, though I would like it and I can't see them playing anywhere else when they're headlining everything under the sun. There's a chance they play, but I wouldn't be confident.

Got a better chance than the prodigy! I think they will sub - bit of confusion with the threads i guess eh

Yeah I’m in the same boat. Really want them to play - they’d be an all-timer sub headliner - but could easily see them skipping it in favour of strictly doing all the headline shows they have booked. Really think it could go either way.

Think it's quite exciting we're this far along and we only really have an idea on one of the headliners (AM) - feel like it's been a while since that happened.

Can't wait till this time next year, when after AM/GnR/Elton have headlined 2023, we say how we had all the headliners wrapped up before the ticket sale last year.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
