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

[JulesC]

No way, for Madonna I think it’s headline or nothing. She’s super expensive apparently so you’d want to put her as a headliner wouldn’t you

I did think that she’s still releasing music so would only take the headliner slot but no denying she’s a legend so just a thought.

I can’t believe it’s Coldplay AGAIN.

Or maybe we have finished talking about music

Anyway, I've still got Fatboy Slim to catch up on

Haven’t watched him myself yet, still can’t bring myself to watch guns n roses even just to see how bad it was

This is interesting. Might go some way to explaining the problems they had booking headliners this year.

Nadine Shah says she's not playing Glastonbury as it's "too expensive"

Nadine Shah has revealed that she will not be playing this year's edition of Glastonbury due to it being "too expensive".

I would have also thought it’s worth doing for the interest in the artist after Glasto and increased sales!

Disappointed in this line up too…we have Coldplay tickets for September 2024…Dua Lipa is of zero interest to me and (perhaps controversially) I think Madonna is past her best

I don’t know whether to try in the resale or just go to a different festival. They need to do a ballot system tbh but as long as they’re selling out, they don’t really care who got a ticket and who didn’t.

The problem with the resale is that as well as you having to endure that crap all over again it’s not till mid April so you can’t plan.
Different festival is probably a better plan but nothing gets close to watching the sun set from Pennards Hill!

So who’s trying in the morning?

No, can’t be bothered with it anymore, went for over 20 years but would prefer to go to several small festivals instead nowadays, suits me much better

The Killers aren’t a bad shout after Brandon appearing with Elton.

Who do we think it will be now? Beyoncé

Beyoncé’s done it before, can’t remember which year but I saw her and it was amazing!

 

[LittleMissOnions]

So who’s trying in the morning?

Me, not helped by son and all his mates already having coach tickets, the smugness over the last 48hrs has been unbearable

 

[JulesC]

It’s going to be Dua and Coldplay for sure, from a friend in the know. Third spot (rumoured to be Madonna) is up for grabs. The Killers could turn up in a Foo Fighters style way?

Would Madonna do the legends slot instead?

I think the issue was that Emily had promised 2 female headliners after the fuck up of last year, she was determined to sign Madonna (hence why she gave the third slot to Coldplay as they play for free)
But even tho she had the cash Madge bailed at the last min leaving her high and dry, they tried Stevie Nicks which didn’t work and we’ve left with Sza.
I’ll be at the Other Stage for The National and Park for London Grammar, clashes willing maybe a bit of Jamie XX

I’ll be watching Idles instead. I saw them in Belgium last weekend and they deserve that headline slot so much. So happy for them

 

[LittleMissOnions]

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

 

[Bobbleowl90]

We tried. We failed.

 

[OhDearFords]

We are doing access camping at Kendal this summer so I can definitely let you know!

Yes please!

[TinyDancer2602]

Could Dolly do it?

Bumping this for all the hype today about the ‘huge American act’ potentially booking to headline next year…who do we think?

Taylor Swift?

Kasabian aka the Serge show…seen Kasabian loads of times but wouldn’t bother now.
