Headliners 2023

HONESTLY, if Madonna was there I wouldn't PERSONALLY be interested only for a few reasons but it'd be incredibly understandable for her to do either Legends OR Headline, nothing less of course, and a very obvious booking due to the lack of women being predicted for headlining this year so far 🙂

A year ago today I go the Macca & Kenny Info.

A year ago tomorrow was when I posted it:

Fingers crossed for some movement soon.

So what are you giving us today then 😉

Well, I really didn't want it to be Kendrick as I was firmly Team Swift so given that you could probably put your money on GnR headlining given I'm firmly Team anyone but them this time around!

Why do you care?

Because your incessant negativity kills the vibe around here, you suck the joy out of everything. You complain about literally everything, especially the headliners which you claim to not even be interested in. It's so fucking tiresome.

You know exactly what you are doing too, which is why I used that naughty word yesterday that I stand by.

Am I the only one in camp "Madonna can get to fuck" then?

Her only talent is self promotion.  Huge celebrity - yes.  Decent singer? - not a fucking chance in Hell.  Some great songs in the back catalogue - especially early stuff - but she murders every single one live.  And that's if she's not just miming whilst doing an overly complicated but yet still shit choreographed routine with about 50 other dancers OR fucking with the arrangement so much it's unrecognisable.

I personally wouldn't give her the steam off my piss, let alone ££££'s for a ticket to witness that bollocks.

I'm very much on the side of "it depends".

All of the stuff you say is correct, and is exactly why I'd normally have no interest whatsoever. But if it genuinely is a greatest hits tour, and with recognisable arrangements, I can see it being decent regardless of her vocal issues. That's especially true somewhere like Glastonbury - the crowd will cover for the deficiencies to a large extent.

Same, probably wouldn't pay the daft prices she'll be asking but would definitely watch at Glastonbury.

Probably a case of high ceiling, low floor. She clearly has the catalog to pull out a headline set for the ages, but I can easily see it being a bit of a disaster.

If she does festivals I reckon she might choose BST Hyde Park over Glasto.

    • Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it. 
    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
