kingcrawler Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 That’s NME picked up on it now so you’d imagine it’ll be shared pretty widely by the end of the day. I realise even the GnR enthusiasts among us aren’t likely to be listening to their bassist’s radio show but it is quite funny if this happened a couple of weeks ago and none of us noticed, especially after also missing the rocket on the webcam for Elton’s announcement.

scatteredscreens Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 I'll put faith in Emily and co to populate the rest of the line up with diverse and interesting acts and just accept that this year there isn't anyone to give the headline slot to that would make it a bit less like like a sausage fest. Lack of a suitable female headliner the whole festival music business has an issue with because of not giving people the smaller slots and scaling them up over the years. I think Glastonbury helps remedy this by booking diverse acts across the line up and not just the top-line. Hopefully in a few years this conversation just disappears as it just becomes the norm to see more women billing the top line. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex DeLarge Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Never understood being upset that you don't like the Pyramid headliner. My first festival had Muse and Coldplay. When you're not watching a headliner you get to explore the rest of the site without massive crowds, or just go see something else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass II Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 At least it seems they (or Duff at least) get the significance of the gig and hopefully it won't just be another show to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta appeal to the lawn chair punters. Let's get one thing straight, when it comes to 'music', Bad Bunny is not the most popular artist in the world. In your head he is because of your bias towards American music, events and your inability to accept anything out of this scenario. I'm not a lawn chair punter lol, I've never taken a chair to prop up a main stage. I go to Slam Dunk etc, I'm in the pit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiochicken Posted January 20, 2023 Report Share Posted January 20, 2023 Tbh I’d be surprised if they get their own announcement. They scream “reveal with the poster” so the whole thing can be seen in context. Is their Hyde park show sold out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do wonder if this was an accidental slip from Duff, wouldn't have expected them to be announced for a while with that BST date to sell.

Yeah this is very funny. I'm pretty excited about seeing them tbh, although I'm leaving some potential for being elsewhere when that lineup drops.

For what it's worth, certain people will say the lack of selling out Hyde Park tells you everything....even after multiple sold out stadium shows. The realistic side is that Hyde Park is shite lol. Sound is usually shit unless you hit the right spot, it's up there with Ally Pally as an indoor arena as a venue I just wouldn't go unless I had to.
