Headliners 2023

[kingcrawler]

That’s NME picked up on it now so you’d imagine it’ll be shared pretty widely by the end of the day.

I realise even the GnR enthusiasts among us aren’t likely to be listening to their bassist’s radio show but it is quite funny if this happened a couple of weeks ago and none of us noticed, especially after also missing the rocket on the webcam for Elton’s announcement.

I'll put faith in Emily and co to populate the rest of the line up with diverse and interesting acts and just accept that this year there isn't anyone to give the headline slot to that would make it a bit less like like a sausage fest. Lack of a suitable female headliner the whole festival music business has an issue with because of not giving people the smaller slots and scaling them up over the years. I think Glastonbury helps remedy this by booking diverse acts across the line up and not just the top-line. 

Hopefully in a few years this conversation just disappears as it just becomes the norm to see more women billing the top line.

Standards around here have slipped.

Never understood being upset that you don't like the Pyramid headliner. My first festival had Muse and Coldplay. When you're not watching a headliner you get to explore the rest of the site without massive crowds, or just go see something else.

Def out there now

At least it seems they (or Duff at least) get the significance of the gig and hopefully it won't just be another show to them.

I was (still am) absolutely shocked this place missed the Elton clue. Almost embarrassed 😂

Yeah cause booking the most popular artist in the world right now is certainly seen as a bad thing nowadays. Gotta appeal to the lawn chair punters.

Let's get one thing straight, when it comes to 'music', Bad Bunny is not the most popular artist in the world. In your head he is because of your bias towards American music, events and your inability to accept anything out of this scenario.

I'm not a lawn chair punter lol, I've never taken a chair to prop up a main stage. I go to Slam Dunk etc, I'm in the pit.

Tbh I’d be surprised if they get their own announcement. They scream “reveal with the poster” so the whole thing can be seen in context.

Is their Hyde park show sold out?

Nope. I'd hazard a guess that it probably won't either without either some strong supports announced or reduced priced tickets.

Maybe that was the plan, but now the band have leaked it and it's getting shared around in the press, you'd imagine Glasto HQ have to do something 

RE BST - General Admission is sold out

Do wonder if this was an accidental slip from Duff, wouldn't have expected them to be announced for a while with that BST date to sell.

Well there you go, I’d be very surprised if they are announced for Glasto this early.

FAO @Neil

Not sure they'll be giving tickets away if they've sold out GA...

Bad Bunny is massive across the US/ south and central america but barely makes a dent here.

Yeah this is very funny. I'm pretty excited about seeing them tbh, although I'm leaving some potential for being elsewhere when that lineup drops.

For what it's worth, certain people will say the lack of selling out Hyde Park tells you everything....even after multiple sold out stadium shows.

The realistic side is that Hyde Park is shite lol. Sound is usually shit unless you hit the right spot, it's up there with Ally Pally as an indoor arena as a venue I just wouldn't go unless I had to.

In the last decade Kasabian and Mumford and Sons have headlined Glastonbury.

Some years it’s not all sunshine and, err roses.

Doubt it was anything else. He doesnt really treat it like a big reveal or announcement.

On AXS - looks to be some left on Ticketmaster

[sisco]

All good points about GNR apart from the fact the biggest allocation of tickets GA… have already sold out

Aye, sounded to me like he thought everyone already knew.
