Headliners 2023

Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

i'm laughing already

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.

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. 

It's extremely weird

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.

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

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.

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.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
