Yeah good times 🤣 I understand your point of not liking the headliners and needs to be worth your money. I was the same for 2019 . Money was an issue and I don't like the line up and I had problems getting my dog looked after as my daughter was doing her exams. So I didn't pay my balance off . Then I sorted out my dog issues and got in with Oxfam a week before Glastonbury started. For £20 I had I brilliant time 👏👏👏 how about volunteering with Oxfam?  They had volunteers who'd recently broken bones etc etc and they did all there shifts in the Oxfam field checking ID

Yeah must have been a few drop outs

As soon as I can I will but it applies to a band with an obvious gsh but not headliner and one headlining a smaller stage 

Why not tell us the genre of the band?

[fightoffyour]

Tell us the drummer's star sign

That's when he tells us their drummer is a Roland TR-909

They don't improve if i don't speak honestly about them. 

That suggests you have some degree of clout…

or alternatively @Crazyfool01could you post a cryptic message about who the band is, similar in style to the Zodiac killer?

AM have now sold out 9 stadiums, 3 parks and an arena, but aye, quite the foolish booking 

Off this forum, announcing AM would be very well received. 

[Hugh Jass II]

To say AM wouldn’t be well received is utterly deluded. They’re one of the biggest British bands this century and have just sold out a dozen stadium dates. They’ll be regarded in plenty of circles as a great booking.

[Alex DeLarge]

Arctic Monkeys are the biggest British band of the past twenty years, and even album tracks like I Wanna Be Yours and 505 have become streaming hits. It's gonna go down very well.

That was the blubbing during the Viola Beach spot... 😥😭

That was fantastic and, as far as I can remember, completely unexpected.

It could be argued the fans of quite a few headliners are stuck back in a certain age as let's face it , a large number of headliners are way beyond releasing their best material . The Who, The Stones, The Cure , McCartney, the Killers, Coldplay , Foo Fighters , Radiohead etc.

Not one to agree with the tyrant running this site but Guns n' Roses are an abysmal booking no matter how you try to square it

Feel like we’ve done this to death by now but yes 100%.
No new music in 15 years, and over 30 years since a good album.

Famously unreliable lead singer who can’t sing very well anymore. 

Yes they can shift tickets but they’re in no way relevant and will be atrocious viewing for anyone other than their fans.

They’d be a great Download headliner but for Glastonbury in 2023 it’s a real head scratcher

I was expecting a cover of Heroes. Could have been a disappointment. Wasn't. Blub.

Or has one arm

[Alex DeLarge]

I personally prefer when we had exciting, boundary-pushing, challenging acts like Mumford & Sons, Muse, Coldplay and Kasabian.

There are plenty of ways to square it that make it look good. They’re a stadium sized rock act, a bit heavier than Glastonbury normally books, that Emily wants and seem keen. You might not like it but others will.

Exactly. That’s never been a reason to not book acts. It’s also not really an issue in the era of Spotify etc. Anyone can familiarise themselves with anyone in minutes.

It was definitely preferable to their version of Heroes. Think it was a one off.
