CaledonianGonzo Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 Better to put Fred on against the Arctic Monkeys. Feels like a Friday night vibe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Fred Again is the messiah that everyone seems to think he is then you’ll get to see him as many times as you want for years to come, both at Glastonbury and elsewhere. His show at Glastonbury won’t be anything better or different to the other shows he’ll be doing this summer, whereas Elton on the Pyramid cannot be replicated. When Elton is dead and Fred is the new disclosure, who will you regret having missed? Yep this. If Fred again will be around for ever then there'll be plenty of opportunities to see him in the future. Elton is a one and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 It will be a terrible clash but I'd just have to go and see Reg, Fred Again has many more appearances to come I'm sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 If Fred delivers a Boiler Room type experience, he’d be worthy of consideration. But his albums have two or three great tracks and the rest are skips. Footage of his live gigs I’ve seen recently have looked very average to me. He’s probably someone I’d see if there were no clashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe thinking it's a similar booking to last years Sunday, Bicep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These boards can seem very skewed one way because that is what the most vocal are thinking, whereas some people who are more lurkers/occasional posters may have a different view. Big names are easier to shoot down too. I've no interest in the Fred fella so stay out of the topic, I can't see the point in going into a thread on a specific artist I don't like to tell a load of people who do like them that they are wrong (though I may have done it in the past before someone goes looking). GnR mainly being discussed in the headliners thread means you are going to get more people having a pop. Whatever the outcome of a poll on here, come the festival, if GnR are up against Fred Again on The Other or West Holts, the much bigger crowd will be at the Pyramid.

dreams_burn_down Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I'm looking forward to Elton, although I could be tempted elsewhere... just not by the most overhyped dance act since Jamie xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t really say I’m a gigantic fan of Fred, but he’s clearly an act on to gigantic things. Might as well see him now. So you'd see someone you're not a big fan of purely cos they're seemingly gonna be a bigger deal in the future? Seems a completely bizarre way of looking at things. Especially when talking about missing the end of a musical legend's Glastonbury debut and last ever gig. Mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made this poll on a bit of a whim after reading the talk in thread again but now feel a bit silly! I'd say this forum is more into dance music vs overall. The SE corner gets a lot of discussion here but reality is that it can maybe fit, what, 20k at most? 10% of those on site? I'd say well over half of festival punters never make it there (other than maybe a curious wonder round during the day) - possibly even much higher. Whereas in this forum the majority view is it's a major draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have to bump Fred downwards to a smaller stage than WH the way this is going, or maybe if he's supporting on Other/WH then people will be able to see both. I've got Fred included in what I'm listening to at the moment, not personally seeing the cause of the hype yet but plenty of time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkic Posted January 26, 2023 Report Share Posted January 26, 2023 I saw this thread and thought there’d been some inside info and my clash nightmare would come to fruition. I’d pick Elton hands down, but would be gutted to miss Frederick, he’s the artist I wanna see most this year, bar Reg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
