Headliners 2023

Well Emily Eavis hasn’t come out and said they’re not headlining no. But bands that are headlining festivals like Neighbourhood Weekender generally aren’t big enough to headline Glasto. 
 

They’d make a good sub. 

They’ve spread themself across tons of smaller paydays, if they wanted to they could have done a few stadium shows instead, sold them out and then be considered a headliner. Certainly a bigger tour than say Green Day did just done in a different way.

Won’t headline as a result but if they had done a different type of tour they would be far more likely to.

re paolo, was more saying we don’t need to bump up a white male solo artist when we’ve already got heaps of them about and pyramid is looking like GNR AM and Elton. If we add in the Prodigy and Sam Smith (think they are still likely right, would kill it i think!) then its hardly the most diverse 6 main headliners.

edit: also just think paolo is shite

N-Dubz just sold out the O2. No way on this earth Lizzo subs the Pyramid 

She’s literally headlining festivals in Europe and the US around Glasto. I dunno what planet you’re on if she’s going to play a low slot at glasto.

Can’t speak for Megan as I didn’t see, but I was at CATQ and it was too big a slot for her. 

She had a tiny crowd. 

Shame because it was a great set, but I was there too and managed to have a sit on a bench at the back near the food vans, with a clear view - not many at at all further back than the sound desk. Smallest headline crowd I’ve been in by far.

CATQ headlining Other was always too big a slot. Did that not happen due to a drop out anyway and it was meant to be a Other subbing spot?

We enjoyed it but I have to say we preferred her 2016 appearance.

Or Elton did it for cost cos he's not a chump and knows how big a deal it is.

Haha, I love Elton, really looking forward to him, but he totally is a chump and no way he did this cheap. And even at half his usual fee its more than Glasto likes to pay.

Dunno. Ordinarily I’d agree, but he’s about to retire from touring and it’s a huge unticked box which will boost sales/streams. I can see him being advised by his agent and management that this is a good move.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
