Headliners 2023

[CaledonianGonzo]

Spot on. We've just seen three solid days of it after they announced Elton John.

I'm surprised to see all the hate for Ed Sheeran on here. He's a mainstream pop singer that constantly gets played on Capital FM and performs the most uninspiring radio friendly music - so he's right up the street of a lot of people on this board.

Ah, on this board people don't denounce artists as shit because of their music, they denounce them because of them being men.

Generalisations are bad...each and every one of them 😉

I’ve a broad taste in music and even if something doesn’t really resonate with me, I wouldn’t immediately declare it to be shit and can often find something in there to at least see why others might love it.  It’s subjective and I get that. However there are a small number of acts who I can find absolutely no merit in whatsoever and find almost unlistenable.  It genuinely surprises me when people declare love for them and I do question it when they do. It’s not me trying push my opinion, rather trying to understand what I’m missing. 

Have you ever got an answer? I can’t imagine what it would be. If it’s not for you it’s not for you.

Wow, couldn't have put it better myself.

You sure?

I'm pretty sure some of the artists they've advocated are the same ones you've bemoaned.

These days you get arrested and thrown in jail for liking music made by men.

Isn't there some youtube comments section of a clip from  'Are you being served?' where you can post this kind of stuff. You'd fit right in.

You've completely missed the joke.

Polarisation and extreme positions are pretty much the online model of the last couple of years, though. It’s Godwin’s law writ large. Ed Sheeran is either absolutely amazing and incredible, or an actual aural genocide, and there’s only two positions to take with no shades of grey anywhere in the middle. There’s no middle any more, so pick your zone and get to it! 
 

PLUS, it gives people the chance to be a bit more lucid, descriptive and interesting in their slaggings-off. I don’t think even 5% of the hyperbole is actually intended, it’s just people being entertaining. I might just be speaking for me here to be fair. If I actually did bump into Gary Barlow I wouldn’t immediately headbutt him, I suspect I’d just politely ignore him. But it’s not quite as engaging to say  ‘ooh, if I met that bland singer that plagued the radio in my youth, I’d ignore the heck out of him’ 🙃 this is a forum, it’s meant to be a bit more interesting than an endless stream of people going ‘that’s not for me, ta’

Yeah fully agree. I've always loved that music invokes a bit of passion in people. The idea of everyone having to politely say everything is good and fine is so bland and uninteresting.

As much as I’d love this, don’t see it happening. Going to see them at Twickenham the weekend before Glastonbury

I didn’t hear that it was their last tour. Do you have a source?

Even if it is, could certainly see it running into 2024.

They’re not playing Glasto 2023 and are touring in 2024

They've not said that. I guess we'll see but there's certainly no indication from the band that this will be it. Yet.

Dream booking for me. No one I'd rather see on that stage. Sadly, I think they're destined to forever swerve the farm.

I don’t know they are, I do know they’re touring in 2024, I do know they’re leaving the dates free.

Might be the last one. Same for Metallica. Neither will say it but can easily allude to it. DM will for sure tour into 2024, same as always. Just a matter of what they choose to do. Either it ends in Germany or Los Angeles.

What does this mean? I’m not trying to be rude but I literally do not understand why anyone would type this as it means absolutely nothing to me. (I have a friend who sends similar texts and it infuriates me).
