Headliners 2023

[DJL]

If we're talking comparisons I'd say The Stone Roses is the closest  - were huge for a short period then largely went away for ages, back with original line-up, not known for their live (vocal) performances. Never at Glastonbury but Stone Roses were undoubtedly headliners when they first toured again.

Neil, are you just upset that the GnR info was clearly out there for ages and nobody told you? I mean, it was posted on here a long, long time before you had it.

Is that what this is about?

its about them being shit; fed up with bullshit like that to avoid facing up to how shit they are.

in the absence of knowledge, you'll make anything up, its pathetic.

It’s not making things up, it’s hypothesising.

Don’t worry, when you’re swimming around in a big vault of money like Scrooge McDuck you’ll look back on this and laugh.

Well at least we have it pretty well sewn up now and we can make peace or not with it …  it will likely be my chance to investigate the temple as hopefully the sec should be quieter at that point … I’m still stoked about Elton  . So at least that’s one amazing act in the bag

i'm laughing already

GNR not for me. Wouldn't be squeezing into the Pyramid field for them. 

Not fussed about AM - take 'em or leave 'em. 

Disappointed to be missing Elton. 

[Acid Loafers]

Seems nailed on now, doesn't it?

GnR not my cup of tea anymore, teenage me might have been excited. Do enjoy a headliner that gives me freedom to not be locked on the Pyramid every night, as usually get a lot of FOMO. 

Probably there for Elton, rest is pretty wide open still. 

Imo, reckon field will be as busy as the Foos, but not more.

[Scrump]

Am 100% on for Elton and the rest of my crew will be the same for gnr. I'll be happy seeing them and interested to find out who's gonna sub them. However I'm not thrilled at 2 nights at the pyramid so am keen to find out if theres a strong clash!

Such an absolutely cringe booking that feels bizarre coming from Emily who is normally right on the pulse (IMO), but at least it sounds like Guns get the significance of it - I hope they do well for those that will be there.

Trimmed down version of their current average setlist (they change some stuff show to show but nothing major)

Ah, ok, I thought it leaked somewhere. It looked odd due to how end heavy it is.

Jesus, way too much to say based on that info. Lawyers!!!! Get out of work mode!

You two are a great double act in a not great way.

That's a pretty good way to convince yourself of any band though. 

I'm not a lawyer. I was inferring what one would say. Pipe down.

For all the whinging it's pretty similar to Radiohead - Foos - Sheeran, and that went down very well.

These are different times.  That was before she set out to explicitly achieve a more balanced festival - "the aim is that you're conscious of that when you're booking". 

Plenty of slots to balance that out though. 

 

[Muppetmark]

I'm 100% seeing elton

80% for guns 

25% for arctics (or 5% if its rhcp) 

 

 

Makes a nice change from the 0 I saw last year 

[The Nal]

A bit miffed that people think one of the biggest rock bands of all time playing the biggest music festival of all time is weird.

[TGCarr]

All I care for is Elton. But still feel Prodigy are clashing with him

I’m pretty sure the world is largely the same now as it was in 2017. Adele was  booked the year before.

[Alex DeLarge]

No-one normal cares about this either way. It's either "I like Guns n Roses I'll go see them" or "I don't like Guns n Roses, I'll go see something else".

i wouldn't think it was weird if it had happened 20 years ago, its 2023 that makes it weird.

The Who, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Metallica and The Cure have all headlined in the past decade. Not exactly vital, fresh new sounds coming from El Pointo every night.
