Glastonbury 2023 #2 because we haven't finished talking about music yet

[Baconbutties]

Kendal calling - it’s like a mini glasto!

I'm doing Kendal Calling instead of Glastonbury this year! Only an hour away as well.

Kendal calling - it’s like a mini glasto!

This is our first choice! Never been before - we plan on taking our kids and heard it’s a good family festival.

 

[LydiaDeetzHat]

Who do we think it will be now? Beyoncé

is Lulu available?

 

[Former_Antelopee]

The Killers surely doing glasto next year looking at their tour dates

 

[troutpout69]

James apparently self confirmed both at a recent gig and on R2, rumours are that they are opening Other stage (fingers crossed it’s more upbeat than in 2016!)

I haven’t seen Kasabian since Tom left, I would definitely be up for a bit of bouncing to LSF (unless they play Sun in which case I’m sitting at the back of the field admiring those with stamina)

There’s also an Elbow shaped hole, new album and tour, surely Guy won’t be handing that Pyramid sunset slot over to another?

The Smile for Park tba? Rumours are KOL for Woodsies tba, I was still hoping Pulp were the tba last year even after Rick Astley wandered on in that powder blue suit

Love a bit of Elbow at Glasto and he loves playing it!

3 days till the gates open!

I’m heading down there today, excited doesn’t begin to cover it!

No rain forecast for the next week either!

 

[Bobbleowl90]

What a disappointing set of headliners! Not interested in any of them.

Still trying for tickets and hoping the line up has better acts!

 

[Bonbon76]

Glastonbury thread continued...

 

[LaBlonde]

Could Dolly do it?

i don’t think she would again after how well her legends set went a few years back - she won’t top that in a glasto sense!

i’m gonna say it’s either beyoncé as a weekend headliner or, as said amazingly above, cher in the sunday legends slot. she’s one of the few big legends left to do it and what a set it would be.

Just in case anyone wants to head back to the times where we were all obsessed with Mongolian folk metal - The Hu's set from last year is now on Spotify / other streaming services!

I saw these at download last year and they were incredible! I’d also recommend Heilung who are at Glasto this year!

I was just thinking about this the other day - thank you!

Glad I'm not the only one who had no idea who SZA is (and up until a couple of days ago, I was saying it as S-Z-A, until I found out it's pronounced "Sizza"). Even my 16 year old didn't really know who she is.

This year will be my tenth Glastonbury, but I haven't been since 2014, and my partner's first. I am so excited to see her experiencing it for the first time!

I only know her as I saw her in the crappy Brits a few weeks ago and thought she was shite then!
This is my 13th, although I had a break of 9 years when I had my kids and went back in 2019 and been to them all since then! It gets bigger and bigger, so prepare to be surprised at how many extra people are there now! The Park area is now mobbed on a wed and thurs!

 

[Kerrie86]

Usually there’s an act headlining that makes me tune into the coverage, but not this year! Shania Twain is a strange pick, I can sort of see the appeal but I’d struggle to name five of her songs.

 

[Fifah1907]

The only good thing about the line up for me is that I told my 24yr old that it would drop at 8am this morning and he said I was an idiot, he’s had to text me grovelling!

I have also worked out looking at last years stage times that they still have to announce 4 Pyramid acts, 9 Other Stage, 6 West Holts, 7 Woodsies and 7 Park.

I have far too much time on my hands

You’re doing the lord’s work 🫡

 

[Bobbleowl90]

I'm doing Kendal Calling instead of Glastonbury this year! Only an hour away as well.

We went ahead and booked it too! Any idea when they release their line up?

 

[TinyDancer2602]

We are pondering BST Hydepark to see Stevie at the moment…we are in N.I so it would mean flights/hotel…not sure we can justify the cost…🥹 I’d love to see her.

 

[Kofi Annan]

Kendal calling - it’s like a mini glasto!

This is my festival of choice, Glastonbury of the North!!!

 

[petitspois]

Why do you think the big names fell through? surely if they pull off a great set it's a win win?

 

[kev1974]

2024 Ticket Sales pushed back 2 weeks after some massive feck up where they asked people to check/confirm their registrations, but then went and deleted them.

 

[LittleMissOnions]

We tried. We failed.

Same here, I think it’s really dodgy that they shut the sale down exactly an hour in to it, some people saying it’s cos they’ve kept lots back for resale cos of the registration f up, we can only hope!
Or I’m telling myself it’s about time they had a muddy year, we can just stay at home and be smug!
