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.

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.

I'm 145,647 in the queue for a venue with 18,000 capacity 😁

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

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...

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?

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.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
