Headliners 2023

[stuie]

Just in case anyone missed it Skip doesn’t care much for Elton but he does like Eminem.  Also in brand new information, Neil isn’t keen on GnR or Elton.

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.

Yeah. Just think it’s surprising that they replaced their pop act with a download headliner. But it is what it is.

It wouldn’t surprise me (as you said) if they really thought they had her and a) didn’t negotiate with other acts or b) turned acts away because they thought she was in place. Could have flat out said no to some alternatives who they couldn’t go back to afterwards.

Saturday night’s alright for announcing.

I’m still astounded at how much we had to be spoon fed this

Emily was liking tweets this morning. That shot was on the webcam from 16:50 yesterday

Seriously? No one in here saw it?!

No problem with Elton playing, just let's have artists in the appropriate slots. 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.

Glasto will always go back to the very safe formula of booking your mum's favorite artist. Youll have to live with it this coming year even moreso with GNR coming along. The year its a trio of headliners under the age of 30 youll see a never ending wave of how they lost the plot on not getting  "good old  fashioned bands". Most punters arent ready for the  instant change of classic acts to ones of the last 5-7 years. Elton is likely one of the last legends to headline the Pyramid, so might as well enjoy it while its there.

 

 

And the Eavii sure as hell didnt think to replace Roxy Music with Elton.

I’m ashamed of all of you.

A local tribute to one of Elton’s most famous songs. I remember when rock was young😉

Maybe they delayed the announcement because it took too long for people to notice

You guys, I listened to/watched recent live GnR. I’ve had tears of incredulous laughter running down my face for minutes. There’s bad and there’s whatever the addled pub singer that was. 

I don’t care who and what looks likely. That cannot happen. I’ll go out of a limb and say I’d rather see Honking Flo. And I can’t stand her.

Justin Bieber is at BST the Friday. You want that instead?

It can happen, and probably will.

Just go watch something else when they’re on.

He can sub Basil Brush in the kidz field 

[Badlands]

Not seen GnR but watched Axl/DC a few years back and was surprised how strong his voice was.

Neil, think it might be time to pull that stick out of your arse. You’re being a major buzzkill.

If it's anything like the Stone Roses reunion when the rest of the band were super tight and the crowd were very loud, I don't think his voice will matter all that much.

I saw her in 2019. As mime artists go, she’s no Marcel Marceau.

She has come up as my top artist in Spotify wrapped.  I blame that on letting my niece access to my account.

I only went to see her in 2019 because my daughter and niece dragged me there.
