circus92 Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Just catching up and really surprised at the negativity! I am absolutely loving this so far - loads of acts I really want to see ... and much more to come. 1 Pyramid headliner (Elton) - that's all you really need and a really strong undercard. Really like the poster design this year as well ... and they only went and booked Jeppo! Seen a lot of acts in the last year and she was probably the best fun of the lot, so the thought of an hour of CRJ bangers at Glasto has me buzzing 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus a lot of that £55 is simply down to increased costs. Not exactly the same, but I work in hospitality. If we passed on our actual increased costs we'd have no customers. It's frightening how much everything has gone up, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuie Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Just now, zahidf said: Any of those bands seem likely for the legend slot? Singer-songwriter Cat Stevens will play the coveted "legend slot", previously occupied by Kylie and Dolly Parton. The Sunday afternoon set traditionally draws one of the festival's biggest audiences, with Diana Ross attracting an estimated 80,000 people last year. Blondie will take to the Pyramid stage immediately after Stevens - effectively creating a "double legend" slot. from the BBC article.

august1 Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 the guardian interview defending the line up, the wrong info in it, the drip feed of info across that and the bbc.. a bit of an odd announcement? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyshoes Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 3 minutes ago, ICGenie said: She's already said on Twitter that she is "unlikely" for Glastonbury this year. Which would piss me off a lot less if I wasn't at home two night's ago with Covid rather than watching her in Manchester 😡 I'm really surprised about that. Watching the BBC coverage from last year the set seemed to go down really well - I thought it would be great to see her on West Holts or The Park this year. Sorry about the Covid - hope you feel better soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC7BBCHEAVEN Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Well, it's making the Greenman lineup look a lot more appealing at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furq Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 1 hour ago, sunnyshoes said: PPS. Amazed that Self Esteem aren't on there - surely to be announced. Played last year, as others may have mentioned in the thread. Still pretty rare to be invited to play two in a row. I mean, Confidence Man should be playing too, really - they're playing most other festivals in 2023 - but they did last year, and the one before Covid, I think. Gotta mix-up the line-up.

T-Mouse Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Just not for me. The only names that genuinely excite me are Amadou and Mariam, Thundecat, Fred Again and Carly Rae Jepson. Maybe says more about me than anything else but damn I'm disappointed. Gonna try and embrace a different approach this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanderlyle Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Always strange to see people's reactions. Normally I'm more negative than others. This year I'd love it have got a ticket. Like Cat Stevens, love War in Drugs, Hot Chip, Chvrches. Elton would be great. It's a great start, especially when you bear in mind that Pulp and QOTSA should.be added.

Possibly the JP. I went to that in 2015 too (was up against Kayne West) - was quite sparse from recollection and that was good as it meant I could get near the front no problem and still have plenty of space to dance! 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGCarr Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Gonna guess Fred Again to headline Woodsies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooScrapbook Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 Don't think it's a bad line up. Much more on this line up I'm excited for than last year's. They've shot themselves in the foot with the headliners though. Would anyone have batted an eyelid if they'd put, say, Lizzo on as a headliner ahead of GNR?

Just frees up a headline slot for me anyway Edited March 3, 2023 by gfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGABOWL Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 22 on that poster I’d go and see if clashes permitted etc. Very good start considering how much else is still to be announced, and that there may be more among the names on the poster I don’t know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted March 3, 2023 Report Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Hot Chip are headlining the JP/Woodsies on Friday night.
