Glastonbury 2023/2024 #2 because we haven't finished talking about music yet

[kev1974]

I quite enjoyed "Confidence Man" just now on BBC. Different. Fun.

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!

 

[TinyDancer2602]

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 thought SZAs mike at the beginning was an effect ... Possibly not then

 

[LittleMissOnions]

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!

Is Jessie ware pregnant again? Can’t find anything online

I thought the same! It would be very irresponsible to climb over a barrier and into the crowd if she expecting,? I think perhaps the outfit was not very flattering at all! I agree though... she did look pregnant!!

 

[Baby Giraffe]

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

 

[coconochanel]

Apparently Shania had Lymes disease and she had to have an op on her throat that damaged her vocal cords thats why her voice is now raspy.

 

[Reality_tv_lover]

They have generic programs and also full sets from the main stages so you can just watch those acts.

They will remove the full sets after 4 weeks though, gutted because I’ve lost my Courteeners recording from last year and it used to cheer me up every time I was down (or at least Liam in that cap sleeve top did )

Can't you see if it's on YouTube?

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?

 

[Anotherct]

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

 

[oragisax]

Really love this song! She also did Kiss Me More with Doja Cat which is her other well known song.

Those with bad audio and sound issues has it just been on the Pyramid Stage?

i thought avril had bad sound aswell & i think she was on another stage

 

[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!

[Islawight]

Anyone know if ‘Los Bitchos’ are playing this year? Loved their set last year.

 

[ls240898]

Would Madonna do the legends slot instead?

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
