so who will we get first ? 

I'm thinking Arctics - possibly not long after Sunday's sale. Maybe late Nov/early Dec.

Dates clash. They won’t be playing 2023. 

[al_coholic]

There has got to be at least 1 female headliner, so I am sticking with Dua Lipa over RiRi

We know AM are (sadly) nailed on, and I am confident they will do the Friday.

So GnR or Reg for the Saturday night

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Wait, are @FloorFillerand @2loor2iller, related?

Guns n Roses are going to be playing in front of a crowd of 5 people. Everyone else handed their tickets back in in disgust.

I love a bit of room at the Pyramid to move about. It makes popping to the loo, getting a fresh cold one, and nipping back a helluva lot easier.

[Slugy]

Imagine the scenes when GnR confirm in place of Elton. New year, same heartbreak.

[scatteredscreens]

Fri - Arctic Monkeys

Sat - [Curveball 1]

Sun - [Curveball 2]

Only Elton confirmation we have is a moved date right. No one has heard he's playing? I feel like as time goes on the lack of info for him is quite worrying, feel like it'd have started to spill out now and it hasn't. 

[Mouseboy11]

Have had some info that there’s a big diversity push this year, Emily’s been telling bookers to ‘gimme some reggae’

 

headliner predictions

 

Ziggy Marley

Guns N Roses

UB40

The gnr info was with elton

[Scrump]

I can't keep up. Why were gnr in the mix but are now less likely? Same for any other act that applies to. What have I missed?

Also why are we saying AM are nailed on? Sorry for being dumb I've just got no idea how the people on the know...know!

[kalifire]

Nobody is nailed on, despite what some will tell you.

Haha yeah thanks for the reminder 😊

[Matt42]

I reckon they originally lined up

Arctic Monkeys, Taylor Swift, Elton John

Taylor and Elton backed out so we get

Arctic Monkeys, Guns and Roses, Rihanna

The person who told us Taylor was out told us GNR was in.

[Scrump]

Ah ok thank you!

[Olshansky]

If I was betting money, I would bet 

Fri - Harry Styles 

Sat - Florence 

Sun - Depeche Mode 

 

Personally, I don't think GNR will headline if they play.  Theyre a nostalgia band full stop.  Emily and Michael always book 'the biggest acts in the word' and while that may have been true for GNR at one time, it's not true anymore.  I could see them subbing Arctic Monkeys or headlining the other stage, but not headlining the pyramid.

per my post below I wouldn’t be surprised if they held a slot for Elton and had some dialogue with him but nothing materialised.

I agree with you that there’s been very little press out there that he’s signed. Think we are being Elton blue balled again.

Reckon they still locking in a third headliner.

Depeche can’t play

[Pr0paneNightm4re]

I’d say Taylor is out since she’s performing in the US on the 17th and 24th june but in fairness we know how much she loves to use her private jet..

How come?  I hadn't seen they'd been ruled out

it would be an idiot idea this is 2023, not 1981.
