Freddyflintstonree Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Honestly (swear I'm not just saying this to stir the pot), I've never seen such a positive response to an act on Facebook and other socials as I have to the GnR confirmation/rumour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass II Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 For all the whinging it's pretty similar to Radiohead - Foos - Sheeran, and that went down very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinky Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 GNR won’t be very good as a headliner but would have been fine early evening fare to enjoy ironically between ciders. Feels weirdly like a backup to a backup option yet it’s January? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJL Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 As always opinions on headliners are highly subjective but as someone who has been going to festivals for 20+ years, to have a headliner who I've never seen before but have vaguely liked since I was a kid (when they were indisputably huge), even if their live performances are inconsistent, seems like a good booking. I'd suggest there will be enough people in a similar position to make it busy enough - I'm sure there'll be lots that enjoy it, lots that slate it (is there ever not?)

Neil, are you just upset that the GnR info was clearly out there for ages and nobody told you? I mean, it was posted on here a long, long time before you had it. Is that what this is about?

Florian Saucer Attack Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 @kalifire what say you? Is a recording of Duff saying Guns N Roses are playing Glastonbury considered actual evidence that Guns N Roses are playing Glastonbury or do you think we should all hold out for more solid information?
