It’s similar for me to people saying they won’t see someone again because it was so good the previous time and people don’t want to spoil a good memory …. Maybe it’s because my memory is rubbish though 😀

I’ve read on here a post by someone saying they hope Pulp don’t headline again as it would spoil the memory of their legendary headline set. Their best known appearance was of course when they stood in for the Stone Roses in ‘95, but headlined again in ‘98. Not so many people refer to that one. Their current show is terrific and would only enhance their Glasto reputation.

i think some people can be territorial over what they’ve seen at Glasto (and elsewhere of course) and are reluctant for the artists to repeat it and allow others to experience and enjoy it too

Interesting way if looking at it but I think there might be some truth in that. Like it dilutes the experience, makes it less special somehow.

Imagine the scenes! 

 

I do think she's a once and done though.  She done it well too, so there's no real need to revisit and risk damaging her Glasto legacy.

well she did Coachella and that

makes Glasto look like a primary school play. 🤷🏻‍♂️

if she wanted to do it again thats her decision. Nothings getting ruined.

Exactly 

 

A Beyoncé appearance would really elevate the headliners

Unless you live in Scotland where we are getting Transmt highlights. So for Coldplay we need to tune into BBC London on sky channel 951

Not for me. I saw McCartney at the O2 last week, and whilst I’ve seen gigs of his I’ve enjoyed more (mainly because he’s best experienced in a large outdoor setting IMO), I still really enjoyed it and it didn’t take anything away from Glasto and all the rest.
If I really like an artist,  chances are I’ll see them multiple times, and obviously some are going to be better, or more memorable, than others. I’d never think ‘I hope they stop touring now as that will never be bettered’

The optimist in me likes to think the best is always yet to come.. especially when it costs a hundred odd quid to see someone for the 7th time 🙃

Actual LOL 

 

Did she headline Coachella a second time?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think she did. 

 

And fair play to you, racking up those air miles to attend a primary school play.

Spurs, more like a GS gorge than a hole

[FKA SOSOTWS]

Tinfoil hat theory: Beyonce's gonna play Glastonbury to drum up good publicity to distract from the child rape allegations against her husband!!!

Didn't she play 5 nights at Tottenham Stadium recently?

 

Feels like turning up at another stadium might be a likelier shout tbh.

 

EDIT: Ah I wasn't aware but in September there was an Evening Standard article suggesting she was going to announce another 5 night run at that stadium, to go with the 2023 residency that was also 5 nights at Daniel Levy's place.

Yeah I've just realised what I wrote wasn't clear. I agree with what you are saying. The stuff about it 'diluting' a previous show was what I imagine someone who doesn't want an artist to play again (such as Pulp in your example) might say. And is a bit mad.

 

Also, which night were you at the O2? Did you get Ringo?

[Suprefan]

Bow down before the ones you serve.......

I did, yes. Purposely went for the last date of the tour, fingers crossed that no-more were added. Never seen him on a pre-Christmas tour, so getting Wonderful Christmastime was great, but witnessing two Beatles together for the first time was a big deal for me ✌🏼

[angelin]

I hope not Beyoncé as it will be all the country songs that hardly anyone knows. She won’t repeat the same set.

Suprefan deems Glastonbury a Primary School play.

 

Primary School plays being something you only ever attend to watch your child.

 

Suprefan attends Glastonbury year in year out.

 

Conclusion- Suprefan is Chris Martins father

not really a rumor now is it. they do seem to take up a lot of oxygen when theyre around though.

They presumably also hoover up a lot of cash, which likely puts them outside the budget that the Other Stage have at their disposal.

The reason they stopped having big productions was because of the cost. Much better to have a reasonably priced ticket and just use some strobes and fog. But it will be interesting to see what they got up their sleeve by going bak to large venues again.
