Benjsh Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Lizzo into Elton was the way forward. Not sure why it didn't work out that way. Lizzo's tour dates perhaps I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of the festival is to discover. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read recently that the amount of Sunday day tickets available for the locals is only something like 5K, and you will have lost many times that amount of punters who have to leave Sunday. The whole thing about the Sunday bill having to be suitable for the locals is a myth, as evident last year when Kendrick closed the Pyramid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Anybody in the front circle? Somebody on Twitter saying it’s absolutely rammed with people in chairs, as expected. Wonder if they’ll budge for Lil Nas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBC7BBCHEAVEN Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Any good suggestions between now and Elton/QOTSA? This has definitely been the shittest line up for me in a long time. Park and other stage both got dance acts on now. Seeping into the entire festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been here since before Cat Stevens (rear, just off centre) It is rammed in here and lots of sit / chair w*nkers (of which I'm 1) not making it any roomier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like on the main lineup poster this year I had seen about 75% of the artists on the bill already. Makes conflicts a lot easier cause you just pick out the acts you havent seen and fill in with ones you would like to see again. Really for me the 2 years ive gone is to just go see acts that wont ever make it stateside more or less. And then see some new upcoming acts who might get huge in the future and be a year ahead of casual fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenefishy Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Just spotted somebody in an Elton John T Shirt currently dancing to Barrington at the West Holts. She might want to get a wiggle on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuwilky Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 They stopped people coming in the middle entrance on the right during guns and roses for about 20 mins. Sent everyone up to the new entrance right at the back. (it might not be new, but I’ve never seen it before) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
