Headliners 2023

[Prince Mylo]

Parklife is not a small festival these days and its also a 'hometown gig ' for the 1975

So we're locking in (or near as):

Arctic Monkeys

Guns N Roses 

Elton John

Legend: Rod Stewart? 

 

Feels way off to me tbh 🤔

[Charliehmiller]

I know its more likely that Guns N Roses are going to headline, but is there any small chance that they could be the legends slot? 

In the clip where they confirmed, did they say headlining or just playing?

Headline. We’ve had this conversation before too big for legend slot they still do stadiums

[Jose Pose]

If any of the headliners could’ve been booked for the legend slot it’s Elton, not GnR, and Elton isn’t suitable for it either.

Is it a bop?

Sculptures of Anything goes

Portishead want their drums back

[4AssedMonkey]

Odd choice.  In a closely packed field of contenders for "worst track on the album" I reckon this has it by a nose.

People setting themselves on fire rather than having to stand through it any longer

Lol, a lot of fans would put Sculptures as best on that album. Would love to see them take the next album in that direction, genuinely feels like nothing else they’ve done before.

Didn't realise they had so many deaf fans.

[BenG92]

Dipping out from my Beyoncé playlist to re-listen to Sculptures was bleak. 

What could have been, eh.

My wing (wo)man and I sounded each other out at the weekend - her whether I want to see GnR (I don't) and me whether she wants to see AM again (she doesn't)

Strangely, 6Music have playlisted 'Sculptures' while Radio 1 have playlisted 'Hello You' this week.

Maybe because Hello You is a much, much better track.  Along with I Ain't Quite Where I Think I Am, the best 2 on it IMO.

I'm with you. Would love them to go further in this direction.

AM are going to absolutely smash it

[CaledonianGonzo]

They didn't when they were playing upbeat bangers that people loved, but maybe playing a load of dirges will ensure the third time's the charm.
