How many of the casuals are gonna put their lighters/phone torches in the air for the Princess Diana tribute though?

I assume he'll be playing the EIIR remix

Looks like the set lists are fairly consistent, not many changes from night to night. 

Bangers early on and the final third. Potential for the casual fan to become a little bored in the middle. 

How long is he playing for on his tour? Any chance some of that middle stuff might get cut due to time constraints?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Struffling to see the bangerless stretches   There are a few deeper cuts, but they're spaced out.

Same with Macca tbf...

Tour average is just under 2 hours, so this will likely be the set we get

Start and finish feel heavily loaded compared to this

He played a similar set at Vicarage Road last year, I remember we left for a piss/pint during the last bit of SSMLT, missed most of Levon and got back for candle in the wind.

 

My favourite EJ song is FFAF/LLB, closely followed by Burn down the Mission, so I made sure I was back from that.

The setlist from Candle in the Wind onwards is immense. Potential all time greatest hour and a bit on the Pyramid in history type material.

Hope he does the Marilyn Monroe, Diana, Liz 2, Mufasa medley version.

Bit dry that, but worth the final straight.

Set list from his most recent show, few deep cuts but in general it's wall to wall bangers. 

16-20 pre encore could be the best 25-30 mins ever witnessed at The Pyramid. 

Very little has changed since I saw him in Krakow in 2019, was an amazing show.

9, 10, 11 and 14 are all big hitters 👌 

[Robofish]

SSMLT was immense last night!
Can’t help but feel there will be a few setlist surprises when he plays Glastonbury. Currently the set is just a shade under 2.5 hours.

That acronym took me a moment! How about SNAFF and SSSSM? 🙂 

[Robofish]

He played from 7:40 to around 10:10

For those enquiring about field expansion for Elton this video shows how far back the tents are pushed now 

 

[Neil]

won't be watching it from the field - which i think will be uncomfortably crowded, like it was for macca last year, so might watch it on tv at home if I've  avoided the Monday traffic ques with a Sunday exit.

Disagree. Levon, candle in the wind and sad songs are all gonna be unreal

funeral for a friend is like his best song

Hard agree with this. That middle section represents the best of what Elton does. And good for him for playing a set that doesn’t just cater to people who own only the greatest hits. 

[Skip997]

Just in case anyone missed this and wants to vote

[JP1994]

It was always going to be Elton and I was ecstatic when he finally got announced.

Since QOTSA have been announced I’m leaning towards them now. One of the best bands out there when they are at it especially live.
 

Both sets are going to be special. Could still go either way.

[scrippit]

1. QOTSA will still be performing long after Elton has retired.

2. Levon is a banger

3. Elton will be a true Pyramid moment.

[JA_Watts]

Reverted to QOTSA. Gutted to miss EJ but have seen him before and though it will be an epic set, I cannot face missing QOTSA even if I have seen them countless times. They're just too good to miss. 

[MrSpaM]

I think his set is going to be more catered to the event rather than it just being a repeat of his current tour

 

This is going to be a big moment for himself and the festival, I think the set list is going to reflect that, there could well be some songs that never get heard live again after this
