Alvoram Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 With that lineup somebody a little more contemporary has to be the 3rd one right? Rihanna, Eminem... Does this rule out Elton, or slide him into the Legends slot (where he absolutely should be anyway.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you surely can’t say those two are dreadful and then suggest Eminem. Riri and Beyoncé would be great though agreed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Not seen a single lineup so far at any festival that’s got me excited. It’s looking really weak across the board. I’m sure Glastonbury will be great but this stinks of a non-vintage year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justcalledtosay Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Happy with this. Means one night i won't be bothered about being at the Pyramid for the headline act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of alright lineups but as you say a lack of excitement and big acts. To be fair, all three of Glastonbury’s headliners that year nailed it. I doubt we’ll be saying the same thing about next year’s trio though, no matter who the third one is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass II Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm in for GnR, only saw them once years ago in the car crash Buckethead era. Never seen them with the full lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass II Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Can somebody explain to me why an artist as iconic and popular as Elton John, who sold out Hyde Park in minutes and has been on a massive stadium/arena tour for the last few years would do an hour in the middle of the afternoon? Come on people, he's headline or nothing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sime Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Would watch G&R. Wouldn't watch AM. So if they do both play that frees me up on the AM night to watch someone else. You can't really lose out at Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Doesn’t seem an overly popular duo from the early posts on here …. Dread to think how it will go down on fb / twitter … although barely anything seems to go down well on those platforms . It’s gonna be quite a different year for me as I’m quite a pyramid dweller …. Hoping now for Rihanna , Elton or Dua in the 3rd slot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crimson King Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 May well be in the minority. But GnR at Glasto is what I dreamt of in 1996. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely be watching them if they play. I remember missing Slash when he played before, so have always wanted to correct that one day.

Nothing then... 🤷♂️ But since you asked, because that slot is now billed as a 'headline slot' anyway, (even if we all know it's not,) because he IS a legend, because his voice has not been it's best, because it would be a great singalong. Fits the slot well IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_tim Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Happy with that. Not a massive fan by any means but someone I'd like to see but never gonna shell out £100+ for one of their own shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits the slot well IMO. They've never had an act that size do it before. Even the likes of Dolly and Kylie are nowhere near as big. He's far too big for that slot and there's absolutely no reason to think he'd take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking a bit like 2018 which had a lot of similar names across the board playing everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also wouldn’t because it’s Elton, simply far far too big to play the slot . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therefused Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Guns n roses were absolutely incredible at download in 2018, i sort of understand the sentiment, and theyre not the same band they were 30/40 years ago obviously, but im sure they would still go down a storm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
