TGCarr Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Christ even I’m not Elton’s biggest fan. but bloody hell he’s beyond a “legends slot” act. Have some sort of respect for one of the UK’s biggest artists of all time…. Edited December 1, 2022 by TGCarr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Eminem, so Reg could have some hip hop after having his hip op😉 5 minutes ago, discgoesmic said: You laugh but he did actually work with Em, he did the chorus on the Live version of Stan on Curtain Call. Think he’s a bit beyond hip hop now though! 😂 They're mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like him, but he is a legend, get him in that slot, free up the headline slot for someone more contemporary. I didn't get to see either due to clashes but Bille and Kendrick are the sort of booking they should be looking at for headliners. Saw Billie in 2019, she was very good. They make bookings like Billie and Kendrick every year though - Stormzy, Sheeran, Adele, hell even Mumfords… The beauty of Glastonbury is that you can get both up and coming new headliners and legends like Elton on the same bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass II Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 If people are complaining about the headliners then I would argue that neither GnR nor Elton are the issue. Arctic Monkeys are the least inspiring of the trio. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt42 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Look I’m not arguing that AM, GNR, Elton are weak headliners. In fact, it’s been a while since we’ve had three extremely established headliners at the top. It does just feel a bit like a pivot away from what they’ve been doing for the past few years. I do think it’s a massive shame they’ve not taken a chance on someone a bit younger. It also feels a bit questionable when you think that AM may be dull as usual and GNR may sound past it. I’m sure the rest of the bill will be impressive, but you can’t deny it’s missing a massive “stop the world” contemporary act. My friends I’ve shared the trio with simply can’t believe that there isn’t a younger act or a female headlining, they think the rumours are wrong. You can throw all sorts of arguments to make all three look like the best trio ever, but it doesn’t take away valid feelings people have about it.

Oh I’m not doubting they are big enough, but having headlined twice already, had a mixed last couple of albums and some lacklustre recents shows it all feels rather… meh. Elton’s a legend and GnR have the intrigue… Arctic Monkeys are just there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 They're the been there done that option. Replace them with someone lime Rihanna or Dua Lipa and the line-up immediately feels way less stale. Not gonna happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always they can only book who is available and willing. Makes me wonder if they put all their eggs in the Taylor basket and after that didn’t happen there weren’t many other options.

parsonjack Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 OK so.....there was no public announcement from Emily at the Chesse & Grain this evening......what was later said between just Emily, Nick, myself and Mrs Parsonjack in a deserted Palmer Street remains between us at present.....but you may not have long to wait. 🙂 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamingofsunnydays Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I’m really hoping Guns n’ roses play. Like really really. one of my most listened to bands of all time. Would be an absolute dream as never seen them live, especially as Slash has rejoined! absoutley over the moon that Elton has pretty much been confirmed too. Third headliner for me? Rhianna or Eminem.

efcfanwirral Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Looking at the tour dates this could be Elton's last UK gig and one of his last few overall. That's huge Edited December 1, 2022 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
