Blown away by that Rocket Man performance.

I think this is it, isn’t it? No chance of an encore with curfews etc?

Yeah that’s it. Can’t imagine what he’d even play as an encore now after that.

Only consolation is not having to get out of there

QOTSA absolutely killing it tonight, shame there's such a small crowd.

We’re watching them. Absolutely awesome.

No sign of the "see you next year" displays just yet....

[Homersexual]

Is it over?

[Suprefan]

Kinda weird no encore break in there.  Shouldve stopped main at at saturday night and then come back. Nobody would be leaving sorta surprised. Seems he had time on the clock to even take a break too and maybe change.

I think that'll be the first set a lot of people think of when they hear Glastonbury going forward...

Circle of Life -> Can You Feel the Love Tonight potentially. Though as you said, it's not often he plays the Lion King stuff, but maybe for a show like that...

Anyway, that was absolutely phenomenal either way.

Genuinely worth the years license fee for the coverage the BBC provide. And it’s somehow getting bigger and better every year. Seems like it’s been a vintage year this one .. gutted to have not been there but I’ve had a great weekend and watched so many sets. And loved the threads on here. Thank you all - and fingers crossed for next year.

Elton doesn't hang around. I saw him play at my local football stadium and he was taking off in his helicopter from the car park before most people had got out the ground.

That was a ridiculously special end to another great weekend. Thank you for all your comments and company. Same time next year ❤️

[trust1878]

He's probably over Bristol now as I type this.

[Serenefishy]

Josh Homme kind of scares the sh*t out of me 

[Monty Pythagoras]

Roll on 2024 - hopefully don’t have to sit through the coverage but it’s been good this year.

All stages and sets avaliable on iplayer has been nice.

He's probably already tucked up in bed - wig off and eye mask on.

[Calvin Klein]

That was almost perfect. The TikTok guy and the awful Dua Lipa song I could have done without. Everything else amazing.

The Cure 2019 is still the best of the "older" headliners in recent years - a band still in top live form.

He had that crowd in the palm of his hand!

The awful dua song hit # 1. The tik tok song was top 10 for a while too.

My biggest complaint would be the lack of Lion King songs or any real deep cuts. But it was so special it really doesn’t feel like it mattered. Got to be the best ever. Just wonderful.

I know. Doesn't mean I have to like them though

Still some big hits left on the table, which is wild when you consider what a hit fest that set list was.

• Can You Feel The Love Tonight
• Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word
• Circle of Life
• Nikita
• Step Into Christmas
• Texan Love Song

Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters would have been nice. And with Kate Hudson there 😄

He certainly used to - my daughter was in love with him when she was 14. Thankfully, she's now a very well adjusted 34 year old who's just had her first child in a steady relationship!
