As long as Elton doesnt clash with Prodigy I’ll be extremely happy 

I’m so happy with Elton, nothing could spoil it, but I’ve got my fingers crossed for this outcome as well.

As I was typing my message I was thinking this.

 

I am meeting a friend this morning { flying in from Iceland } so I don't have time to deal with e-mails but I know by tonight my inbox will be insane from
a large pool of Volunteers { some who have been with me 30+ years } and I know many other Organisers will be in the same boat - 100% this will affect the allocation for everyone so I expect the 2023 allocation will be a 50% reduction from the 2022 allocation and I suspect many Groups will miss out completely next year. So good news if you have a ticket but bad news for Volunteers.

An 0800 announcement is unusual I think...maybe Emily thought 'There's no way this bloke will keep his trap shut' after she told us in Frome last night 😂

What's interesting is that her and Nick seemed genuinely surprised when we said we'd worked it out from the Pyramid rocket picture....her exact words were 'Wow, well done!'. 

Perhaps the webcam reveal didn't actually get the attention they hoped it would. 

Must admit I was gutted to miss the reveal, I look at the webcam everyday as I’ve nothing better to do!  Visiting  the area pre  Xmas and I’m sorely tempted to set off a rocket at the pyramid but I won’t, festival no pyro rules forbid it and i don’t want to scare the cows😉😊.

Weird though.

Other than the BBC webcam hint last night has anything official been said regarding the rocket?

It’s mentioned on the bbc news website,the article about Elton headlining.

You know the man's got hits when he's performing a "greatest hits" set that doesn't include Mad Hatters, Honky Cat or Daniel. Can't wait!

True - but nothing from the festival itself.

First look at the new logo, mind.

Incredible scenes - what an unbelievable booking😁🤩

Imo Elton John and Fleetwood Mac are the two biggest that haven’t played yet and they have only gone and landed one of them this year!

Soooo excited for this one.  What a time to be alive 😁

Madonna is in that bracket too

The re-re-re-arranged dates are in April.

Are you still going to go?

Tempted to sell my tickets for April now as they basically cover most of the cost of Glasto tickets. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm due to see him the Sunday beforehand in Glasgow. Reckon I'll do both. One to enjoy the gig and one to get shpangled whilst dressed as a meerkat.

Definitely - I was going to include her as well, but left her out as she doesn't have as good a live reputation.  Would love her to be booked though.

You’re a brave man to get shpangled dressed as a meerkat in Glasgow.

Yeah I'll still go in April.

As I said in the other thread I'll have the kids with me at Glasto and can't guarantee they won't be knackered and grumpy by Sunday night. Best to watch Elton in April for the music and then be at the back of the Pyramid field for the vibe.

Why on earth is Boohoo posting this 😂 possibly the most un-glastonbury company

Nah. You have to be willing to play the hits to be in the very top tier.

Really?? Hadn’t seen that. Fair play then.

As per usual, the greatest hits album she just released was all remixes.

Come on, she’s a mega star in the same bracket as Elton.

In which she does a ten minute medley of the hits then two hours of some godawful new EDM project....

As long as Hung Up and Ray of Light are in that medley, I'd take it

The reaction to her being announced would be in the same ballpark, but barring a miracle she’d lose the crowd very quickly. No chance that happens with Elton, or would’ve happened if The Mac had played.

Exactly - that's why I left her out of that bracket, even though she is a legend
