Got a feeling all the rumours of Eminems, Harry Styles and Britneys are gonna prove to be bollocks and all (or at least most) of Elton’s guests are gonna be smaller acts already on site.

Maybe one big one, probably Dua…

Agreed, Jacob, Dua, maybe Rina & one other (Kiki Dee?) would be my guess

Well yeah. Usually the norm just for tba slots. Remember everyone thought Green Day was playing last year?  

[Northern Soul]

Never really seen Alt-J before. I had no idea that Jacob Rees-Mogg was their keyboard player😳.

Why do you say that ? What do you think the blocker would be ?

Might want the paycheck. He is finishing his residency at MSG this year. And his tour with Stevie Knicks he just did was all stadiums and they sold out.  Legends list is getting thin so itll be interesting if they dip their toes into somebody slightly younger. Remember Kylie was only 50. Theres a few acts in their 40's that would do well. Gwen Stefani has all the No Doubt bangers and her solo songs. Christina Aguilera would go down well and she can still belt it. Shania Twain would be a nice one.

 

Maybe theyll go after Justin Timberlake. New album coming. He can put on a show. No N sync songs though

Don’t think he’s done a gig or festival where he didn’t headline in like.. forever, plus I can imagine he’d want the big pay. I’m sure the festival has gone after him and maybe one year he’ll cave, but must be a reason it’s not happened yet as he’s such an obvious act for that slot.

[Nicklord]

QOTSA started, it's not empty but not a lot of people either. Looks like a crowd at 3pm

Depends who you ask. And Rina, Caroline and Gabriels tick the box too.

[sedra]

Love to see Elton’s band still performing with him after all these years - Ray Cooper, Davey Johnstone - all growing old together!

Going straight into Go With The Flow as their first song, what a start.

[Andre91]

QOTSA opening with Go With The Flow!

Who is trolling the setlist lol

How can you do a post like this without mentioning Caroline Polachek???

[Benjsh]

I'd have given my right leg to see Bob Marley headline Glastonbury whilst we are talking about legendary headliners. Died before I was even born and I still love his music. He'd have got a huge crowd no doubt. 

[st dan]

Just flicked QOTSA on .. decent enough crowd given the circumstances and they’re sounding great. Crowd up for it .. could/would have been a mega set I think if in a different slot.

[Punksnotdead]

OK, I'm not the biggest Elton fan - I enjoyed the first 25 minutes but I'm losing interest now - time to switch to QOTSA I think.

Doubt she’d draw this kind of crowd. Think a lot of people see her as a bit naff these days, especially with her constant clawing to retain her youth and such. 

Also has a big potential to be a train wreck. 

Depends how the Hits tour goes later this year? If she smashes those shows, I imagine it would be quite something.

[Nicklord]

The mix on the other stage stream sounds so much better than the Pyramid one

[Calvin Klein]

Elton, QOTSA and Phoenix at the same time would have been the worst clash ever for me.

Actually thats one to think of if they hadnt passed too early. The Clash. Surely wouldve happened.

[trust1878]

I'd probably be at Rudimental right now if I was there, coming up on a pill,  plenty of room to dance, energy, good vibes and every other person and his wife is at Elton John.
