They're not going to unbook gnr because you and a couple of people on glasto chat are throwing hissy fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenG92 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 1 minute ago, Neil said: Public opinion certainly has an effect on who gets booked as headliners. Right, and the public have clearly decided that enough of them love GNR to get booked as a headliner. One man yelling into the void daily won't do a thing to change that. They got booked because they're objectively one of the biggest rock bands of all time. I'm not a fan either mate, but just let it die, it's incredibly tiresome and at this point you're literally encouraging people a few pages back to go listen to them. It's having the opposite of your intended effect. I'll be elsewhere that night and you can be too, it's alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AssedMonkey Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 3 minutes ago, Neil said: Public opinion certainly has an effect on who gets booked as headliners. Indirectly maybe. In that an act who is popular, has loads of streams/sales and is selling out tours (like GnR for example) may be approached as a potential headliner. If you're saying that the festival bookers actually go onto forums, do research and canvas opinions before making such decisions, then frankly that's ludicrous.

By June he should have enough to pay for some headliners next year that he won’t moan about and save us all some grief. i don't normally bitch about the bookings, cos normally they smash it with the bookings. and plenty of the people saying i should let it drop were quite happy to slag off the idea of roxy music in the legend slot, which was a much better booking than gnr as headliner.

anditmakesmesmile Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Sorry to all the GnR fans out there, but all these videos recently shared have totally reconfirmed my prejudices. They ain’t for me. But i hope many many will be there, as I’ll then get closer to the front of Fred Again or Young Fathers, or Black Country New Road, or Raye, or Loyle Carner or the Black Keys or whoever will be headlining one of the many many alternatives to the Pyramid stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I was impressed, to put it mildly. I'll probably have to see how I'm feeling on the day on that one. 20 minutes ago, Crazyfool01 said: Ah anyway … Elton will his Setlist be similar to that dodgers stadium one ?

Second one especially would be a great Glastonbury moment (though I doubt that sentiment is shared by many here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone was saying about his Bestival gig (2013 maybe?) and apparently that was quite different to the rest of the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass II Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Elton's tour is basically a jaunt through his career spanning hits, he packs them all into his set so there isn't really much time for anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the covers and doubtless 15 minute noodly solo. Thanks for the link - all the chatter on here made me decide to have a listen (volume cranked well up) and they have changed from "unlikely to go (maybe catch a bit for the curiosity factor)" to "this could be great fun - will probs be there unless something unmissable is on at the same time" I really didn't expect that to happen.

circus92 Posted January 9, 2023 Report Share Posted January 9, 2023 Not sure if everyone is aware of this great site, but you just search up an artist and all their sets are listed. You then press a button and it fires the whole setlist straight into your Spotify as a playlist. Genius!
