Glastonbury 2023
Looking forward to
Blondie
Cat Stevens
Guns and Roses
Sparks
Manic street Preachers
Who is the band you wish had played Glastonbury in recent times but hasn't?
Pink Floyd
They would have been a great headliner on Sunday evening.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Been to the last 3 and 4 in total but didn't try for tickets this time round.
It's too easy to chase the festival as I call it by seeking out the things you know you'll enjoy and missing most of the amazing things that are right under your nose.
Rather than worry about who might have performed, or who I should have watched in 2017 etc. I prefer to reflect on the many amazing experiences I have been priviliged enough to have there - the majority of which aren't bands.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
I performed on the last free Glastonbury (1978) and not been since- I should imagine now it's a very different experience from the one I had.what_no_pies wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 12:50 amBeen to the last 3 and 4 in total but didn't try for tickets this time round.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Yeah I agree, apparently Floyd played in 1971 but haven't since so in the years when they rose to international fame they never went back. Strange as I suppose the festival opens you up to a whole new audience.

One of the weekends where the BBC comes into its own. Get some cans in, stick it on the projector, and watch Glastonbury from your couch (Ill be in Budapest so will have to do it on catch up, but still)

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Don’t want io put a dampener on it but this years line up sucks. Especially the headline acts. Last year, Paul McCartney put on an amazing show especially considering his age but I can’t see chubby chops emulating that.
Re: Glastonbury 2023
Only people who haven't been to Glastonbury focus on the Pyramid stage headliners to assess whether a line up looks any good. You could have no live acts at all and still have the best few days of your year.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Its very subjective, is music. I'd take Elton John over McCartney given the choice, for sure.dermotdermot wrote: ↑Mon Jun 19, 2023 1:18 pmDon’t want io put a dampener on it but this years line up sucks.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Macca was amazing partially because he got Bruce and wotsit from the wotsit who used to be in Nirvana and some stunning videos.
Sensational show ......
Elton will no doubt put a great show on but I don't think his body or work is the same.

For me, Glastonbury is about the up-and-coming bands you hear in the late afternoon and evening on 6Music, etc.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
I remember a group of us posting on here last year during Paul McCartney’s performance last year. I don’t think most of us were expecting too much but we got a stunning two and a half hours from him.
But as has been said, a lot more than the pyramid stage to see.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Failed to get tickets in both the Oct and April sales
I had said Elton John before this year, although he struggles to get around the stage now, he has the catalogue and I'm sure he'll have guests like Paul McCartney did last year. Artic Monkeys were another I wouldnt have minded seeing on the Pyramid stage.
Re-formed Oasis could go either way.
Personally think the Pyramid is great at to watch bands, the whole setting works and the sound is decent for a massive field but the fun happens in the small corners. As someone who likes dance music, the South East corner is where I spend most of my time.
For those that have tickets - enjoy

Yes, SE Corner is very good. I spent a lot of time there last time.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Just a clip from Paul's Glastonbury show - I've got a feeling interspersed with clips from John from the Apple rooftop sessions (I think)....!
We had a gang of us round my house and it drew a gasp from everyone.
To be fair, the kids were upstairs listening to badly rhymed dross about 'smacking up your hoe' etc. Quite why anyone would want to beat up a gardening tool I have no idea but there you go...
So, I guess you'd have to be of a certain musical vintage to gasp at Paul and John singing together again...

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Hope AM don’t disappoint tonight. Had to cancel Dublin this week due to vocal concerns, laryngitis.
Re: Glastonbury 2023
AM are the band of a generation but I just can't get on board with their new stuff. Sounds like a tribute act to something and Alex looks like Richard Hammond.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Oh god, he does look like him
I liked a lot of TBHC but The Car was self indulgent and boring. Also heard some clips from the recent live performances, and he seems to use that lounge singer voice to all of the tracks, even the early stuff. Just a bit weird and slows everything down.

Re: Glastonbury 2023
Went up his own arse best part of 10 year ago and hasn't really emerged since, the stuff prior to this was really good the later stuff very weak.
Re: Glastonbury 2023
Yeah, I totally get they can't be making the same stuff they made when they were eighteen. It'd be a bit weird if they were still singing about pulling girls in Sheffield. But I cringe when I see them now. They just don't sound as original as they used to. Put down the handbook, strip back the 70s tribute act and his lyrics are still absolutely sublime though.Swizzlestick wrote: ↑Fri Jun 23, 2023 12:30 pmOh god, he does look like him

Agree.

Went to the 1970 one, which in a sense was the 1st, at B & W showground. A brilliant music festival with some of the very top acts of the day.
Can't say I like what it's become.

Arctic Monkeys later on, unsure what to expect after bad reviews from people who recently went to see them live.

Just watched The Comet is Coming on iPlayer which is what the spirit of festival going is about not all these big name so called mega stars.Then I've just read Holly Willoughby is setting off to Glasto in a helicopter is this what it's come to?
Re: Glastonbury 2023
The Comet Is Coming are one of those groups that could play some little hidden away tent at 2pm on Friday, or they could be main support on the Pyramid stage Sunday night and they'd fit the part either way and probably be one of the best acts of the weekend. They're banging. Followed them since their near enough their inception and they so, so good.
