Acts Touring around Glastonbury 2023

Don’t think they’ll be at Glasto but been told The Strokes are playing APE, trying to find out now if it’s part of a wider tour or a one-off

Theyve all been plopsies

Besides the Sault rumors it's all been a bit underwhelming so far but with the size of the festival it's going to be impossible to not find something I'm into.

Probably will end up at Connect as well or some other northern park show. Tramlines maybe - thats like 50k cap

They hardly ever do individual shows like arenas, think a proper tour is very unlikely

What do we think to Dave Matthews Band apparently European tour for the supposed new record next year wouldn't mind seeing them and where do you think they would play?

Where you hearing all this? Can't see them at Glasto personally but we used them as a good excuse to visit Danish family a few years back and wouldn't mind doing it again

Not again. Not after the metal fan thing. Not biting.

Can’t link the tweet as Elon has disabled the feature - but Frank Ocean appears to be hinting at new music.

He is rumoured to be headlining Coachella, (which is being announced in early Jan). Would be good to see him around, although I doubt he’d be at Glastonbury.

Zero chance of Glastonbury I’d have thought as I doubt he’s gonna reverse his ‘headliner or nothing’ rule from the last time he ‘toured’, but christ I’d just take any sliver of new music at this point, and it’s gotta be coming soon what with Coachella not far off. Won’t hold my breath for anything coming today… but we might actually be not too far off from hearing something now, finally, and I’m stoked to hear what direction he goes in now after seemingly scrapping his last project a couple of years ago.

Still trying to work out where he might play festival wise now that Lovebox is seemingly no more (other than the dream Glasto sub slot). APE seems the most logical place maybe?

I’d say APE is the front runner but Frank Ocean is known for avoiding touring. Just because he has new music and will be doing Coachella doesn’t mean that UK shows are a definite… sadly 😞

Parklife too surely if hes here early summer. Could even do Wireless, would need the day built around him a bit more but not impossible

True, I'm just hoping he replicates 2017 where he did Parklife and Lovebox (and I wanna say Way Out West and Flow too?), although if I recall he didn't play any other UK dates other than those (might be wrong on that).

Crossing everything!

[Matt42]

He could deffo do a stint of Parklife and wireless

Tbf "Break Stuff" was basically the ethos Facebook had in their early years, so they'd fit in with the tech bro world.

I remember once hearing of Frank Ocean opening for The Killers in Dublin in 2013, which is quite the interesting mix of styles.

Whether its as bizarre as when I saw Dizzee Rascal opening for Muse earlier that year is another matter.

Tbh on a second reflection, Frank being absent from primavera etc doesn’t give me a lot of hope he’s coming to Europe anyway. Unless he just does the UK.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Coachella is his lone festival and then he just does a bunch of very selective dates elsewhere. I didn’t see him last time round (cause he bailed out of Primavera) but his whole live show didn’t exactly seem tailor made for festivals and seemed like it would’ve gone down a lot better at his own shows. 

Also just wouldn’t at all surprise me if he bailed out of Coachella. It’d be more surprising at this point if he actually plays.

100%, he loves to cancel.

I understand Goldenvoice enjoy getting the real exclusives - (Frank, Ye, Beyoncé etc) but it does expose them to a huge risk of them losing a headliner late in the game.

But still able to get capable back ups.

Sam Smith's American tour kicks off a month after Glastonbury - got to imagine that makes an appearance on the farm from them a bit more likely. Other Stage headliner?

Already headlining lots of european stuff in June. Rules them out of doing some late summer uk festivals i guess so more likely for glasto.

Will 100% be at big weekend

Doing the o2 the week after G, might turn up at the theatre and Circus.
