Headliners 2023


Crazyfool01

Recommended Posts

I'm in the position now where I'd actually like the other two headliners to be something I don't want to see. Elton is an absolute lock for me, and I'd prefer to spend the other two nights at different stages. This year my headliners were spent at the Pyramid, Other and Avalon, and in the past I've also seen headliners at the Park, West Holts, Silver Hayes. It's the variety of experience I'm after.

So yes, bring on AM & Florence.

Same, in a way. If it does end up being AM/GnR/Elton then I’m 50/50 on the other 2 so gives me a chance to get round the site, which I think I’d prefer. If the others end up being great, I’d feel compelled to go.

Me too... Elton a definite, AM a definite no, and GnR 50/50. Perfect really.

florence was brilliant the year she stepped in.

as much as arctic monkeys have changed I passed out during one of the pyramid stage sets from no sleep and too much drinking so wouldent mind if they turned up again

Totally agree with this, far too much else going on to get stuck at the Pyramid on the other 2 nights

I don't think liking or disliking AM is cool or uncool. If you like em, great. Always find it weird when people say it's snobbish not to like a band. I've always thought they're shit but very happy to go watch something else.

I don't think it's ever snobbish to not like a particular band, but plenty of posters here spend half their time trashing acts that others clearly like. Going around telling everyone how shite some acts are, such an enormous and pointless waste of energy.

On the other hand it is a discussion forum with a strong music focus and you're likely to encounter differing points of view.  Taking it personally cos someone is trashing an act you happen to like is, debatably, the bigger waste of energy.

AM, GNR & Florence are shite though.

I think there's a way of doing it that is more palatable though..

1) "xxx is absolute garbage"

2) "I'm not into xxx"

You see the difference. It's subjective, and the first example is presented as objective. That's what pisses people off. It never bothers me anymore to be fair, I just think it makes that person look like a complete idiot. Live and let live.

This popped up whilst I was already typing, I just want to make it clear the above opinion is absolutely not aimed at you personally, I was already typing. (Besides, I assume your comment is somewhat tongue in cheek?)

You can take it as read that people's opinions are just that.  People don't need to conclude every single post with "imho"

Yeah that's fair enough if it's execessive. I'm fully on board for the odd comment, though, especially in a general thread like this one where all opinions should be valid. I read plenty of comments slating bands I love and I couldn't really give a fuck whether other people like them or not. It would be a very boring sanitised world if every comment about every band had to be positive.

Oh I totally agree, I couldn't give a stuff if someone doesn't like the bands/acts that I like, I'm certainly not precious about it. It's purely the people who criticise nigh on 50%+ of the acts in here. And there are some people who do that. When done excessively it can kill a vibe, it just feels like 'here we go again', no one is allowed to get excited about this, they will be instantly shut down yet again.... If people want to get excited, why would anyone go out of their way to bring that down. Strange behaviour imo.

I think we're probably in the same place on this one. I have no problem with legitimate criticism or honest dislike. I just can't fathom people who instantly hate half the acts here and they absolutely have to let everyone know it.

Yeah, pretty much exactly this. Again, don't really care about differing opinions, but one stifles discussion and one doesn't.

Yeah that's fair enough. I do find it odd when people specifically go into threads of bands they don't like just to slag them off. Headliners thread should have room for lots of opinions though.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
