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.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
