I meant specific indie as a genre btw - kate bush obviously got big from tiktok among others Music for lads in bucket hats made by lads who listened to lads in bands who wore bucket hats innit ♾️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theyre just gonna go somewhete else instead. So when is everyone gonna start to call JPT Woodsies. Thats gonna confuse a lot of people if you run into somebody and ask where the tent is.

Zoo Music Girl Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 7 hours ago, Ozanne said: Why is the placement odd? Genuine question, not having a go or anything. For me this line up so far isn’t great, the headliners apart from Elton are awful and there’s only 1 or 2 that in total that appeal. Hopefully the full announcement of acts will be better for me! Dunno, just feels quite downbeat for an Other headliner. I like her, don't get me wrong. Feels more like a Pyramid act to me though, subbing maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, the final other stage headliner I’m expecting a more upbeat act for the Sunday - chemical brothers, the prodigy, QOTSA etc Edited March 3, 2023 by lendan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job it's my last lolol Well @Chrisp1986 has gone to the trouble of creating a playlist of 876 songs in herehttps://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/246122-spotify-playlist-2023-all-full-setlists/ Here's a list of the genres according to a playlist analyser and it would indicate your analysis is pretty wide of the mark, so maybe you should listen to a bit more?

priest17 Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Apologies if this has been posted before but I think it shows how far we've come how surprised the media is with all three headliners being male. It's almost as if they've done it in a sort of one step back to go two steps forward in the future. This would have slayed 5 years ago. I'm not even going this year, and it's not a definite every future year as it was for the last 15 years, but keeps it a bit interesting moving forward. They need Swift to headline.

Yeah, although the initial reaction from the masses has been to somewhat scold the festival for booking three male headliners it’s actually quite nice that Glastonbury made such an impact with their 50/50 split campaign that three male headliners is seen as odd whereas just four years ago nobody batted an eyelid. Of course, now that the trend has been set, any time there’s no female acts topping the bill the same scolding will come back in full force, but it’s a big step in the right direction at least, and I hope next years two female headliners gets heaped with praise.

dotdash79 Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 I wonder if Taylor was the first choice, then arcade fire but that had to be ditched when the stories came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 I don’t really understand Emily’s point, if they want to book for female headliners then can’t she do that? There’s plenty of female acts that are ready or nearly ready and would massively benefit from the exposure of headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, she’s kind of dug herself in to a bit of a hole here as she very easily could’ve promoted Lizzo, Lana, or another ‘not quite there but give em a chance’ type female act but has more or less admitted that she doesn’t think any of them are ready to do so, even if she does call Lizzo a fourth headliner.

That's not quite what she said though is it? “She could totally headline,” said Eavis, adding that the Pyramid stage often sees bigger crowds in the afternoon than at night. “Many of the artists could. But the headline slot had already been promised to someone else.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda sounds like a cop out from her to be honest, passing the responsibility onto the industry for not creating enough headliner ready female acts. Whilst she might have a bit of a point, she is in a position to do something about it. I mean there’s so many acts and even if the mega-stars aren’t available then book an up and comer instead of Artic Monkeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justiceforcedave Posted March 4, 2023 Report Share Posted March 4, 2023 Different take: GNR didn’t pick the other headliners and Slash deserves the top spot after his stonkingly good contribution to the 2010 festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without it they're a fine booking. Silver status. And a long way from the nadir for a festival that was once headlined by Moby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
