To clarify further I don't think it's something to be pleased about or that it's somehow a good thing that this trio will go down better on notoriously angry and divisive social media platforms. There's a very obvious reason Billie, Kendrick and Stormzy didn't go down well on there.

Exactly this.

...it doesn't scream all-timer on paper, but there are clearly enough songs there that will command a huge singalong.

Madonna has well over 100k in the queue for 2 dates at the 02 with the axs blue line not moving a jot. It's a silly task really.

I get that for each individual year but when you look long term it's 4 in 17 festivals. It was just surprising to me that it was so skewed even after their commitment to unskew it. 

There’s also always options.  Billie E was a surprise for the headline slot but they made it happen.

Sorry not keeping up with the pace of posts today. But, considering gnr news, has anyone checked in on Neil?

@Neil you alright pal? 

i'm fine, not sure glasto's rep will be, tho, can't guarantee "top level" headliners any more.

Theoretically, from who's available, and let's say they all agree to do it for the reduced Glastonbury fee, who would you suggest as "top line" headliners for 2023?

Yes I mean that she got the slot not the news itself…

Looking forward to it not selling out next year so I can easily get a ticket. 
 

Don’t Cry.

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

We’ve tried to explain this to him a million times!

I got into queue at 4,560 and got through.  Got 2 really good floor seated tickets in my basket and went through to next page and total bill was £860!!  Deliberated but just couldn't stomach paying that so let them go.  Part of me regrets not pulling the trigger, but its just too much money

Just got in through AXS - currently none available, unsurprisingly. 

[Alex DeLarge]

Wheres this idea that Guns n Roses are some wildly unpopular and baffling decision come from? They'll be fine with a big crowd full of camping chair blokes and zoomers who heard them on the Thor soundtrack.

I got two through AXS, seated somewhere for £200+ each. Total bill £564. Not for me, I might add. 

My ticket-getting lucky streak continues. Hope it remains through April for my friends...

Roxy Music, and whoever the two old geezers he was talking to the other day are that weren’t impressed with GnR.

If you feel that running this site is not worth the hassle anymore then yeah it's probably time to step away, sell up and go do something you actually enjoy.

I genuinely wish you well in that endeavour.

Yeah they won’t get 3 hours. 2 hours, maybe 2 hours 15/30 if they really want it, but yeah, that setlist you posted is all their big hitters and then some and will go down great with anybody watching. Despite their lack of discography, they managed to squeeze some absolute belters on to the few albums they do have.
