yeah that’d explain it, big clash spot but often the best time if you’re not fussed with the legend, saw Alvvays in JP with about 10 other people when Lionel was on, I made my choice and am still happy with it

right when’s Self Esteem being announced as headlining

Haha, I was one of those 10 as well!

literally everyone left after Self Esteem, felt a bit bad for Bea following those two sets 
 

definitely getting the Frank Turner award for playing everywhere in 2022… and by the looks of it strong odds to retain it for 2023 

now hurry up Glastonbury and announce some headliners where I’ll probably be elsewhere when they play anyway!

Beabadoobee’s set was laughably bad on the stream. Zero stage presence, relied on pre-recorded vocals, terrible mixing. One of my friends was there in person and she said it was the worst set of the weekend and everyone was leaving throughout lol.

It’s a shame because her music is decent but her live shows have been poor for years. She’ll have to step it up when she supports Taylor because the Swifties will not be kind.

Surely the cretins are the ones who can't get their heads around fractions?

Anyone can understand fractions, they're just a worse way to do odds - especially if you're comparing things. 8/11 vs 4/9 is just worse in every way than saying 1.73 vs 1.44. 

Similarly - while I'm certainly impressed if someone knows or is able to quickly calculate how many barleycorns are in a furlong, it's still inferior to using the metric system.

Ugh. At least we’ve got Elton, with two nights free to enjoy other stages.

Thanks. Reckon Lewis and Lizzo are two of the pyramid subs?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'll take that.

Would happily take Lizzo headlining the Other over GnR

Pyramid stage or spread out? I’d say both acts could sub so one headlining other?

both pyramid i think.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The dream of Lizzo subbing Elton bites the dust..

[CaledonianGonzo]

But Lizzo into GnR will do very nicely.

Capaldi sitting in the middle of that, however, is something I'm strong on not loving.

Right. Funnily enough I think Lizzo is actually more likely to be third down pyramid than Capaldi.

What I'm afraid of, ironically making Capaldi this year's Noel Gallagher.

That said, no need to stress about being in the pit for Axl and the lads.

GNR are not pulling a crowd anything like Macca, so I wouldn’t worry. You can swan up 15/20 mins before.

all i ask for is a line-up worthy of a contemporary arts festival. my ticket will be going back, as will heaps of tickets.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Agreed. Capaldi subbing may actually give the MMO to see something somewhere else.

Nothing we didn't already know or have confirmed anyway.

Well done @roughbloke

I'd actually be down for a top 3 of Guns, Lizzo and Capaldi.

Let's not forget though, no way are they going to book Guns to replace a female headliner.

FWIW once they launched the rocket over El Pointo your info seemed kosher 🚀  Elton was the act that seemed the least likely of the three.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Looking forward to lots of 'female' chat today 👍

Good luck with that mate. You're more likely to get an apology from Axl. Well done lad

Ah what a good start to a day

[leath02]

All hail @roughbloke

[JoeyT]

GnR on the face of it should be a strong booking but I just can’t get behind it myself.

Would 100% be elsewhere.

Having said that I’m going to choose not to believe this to make myself better.
