Elton who everyone has wanted for years? So basically…. Talking about GNR again. 

Everyone?

He’s been one of Most wanted headliners at Glastonbury for years.  
 

Sorry… not everyone in the whole world… you’re right, I’ll try and rephrase it better next time.

it is a bit all white male privilege, I thought Glastonbury would have been actively avoiding that .

 

I hope the above is wrong  

 

 

Isn't it the in thing just now to not classify gender???

 

 

(don't worry, joking, I don't want to debate that can of worms)

The 3 above acts all have a serious claim to headline. Been debated to death so no point repeating the obvious. 

 

Personally I'll give the Arctic Monkeys a wide berth because I've seen them several times before and I don't like the new album. So its a easy pass.

 

I cant wait to see Elton. Its going to be brilliant. Will be packed though so go early.

 

Will also be at Guns n Roses. If the crowds a little down in numbers for a headliner then superb. More room for me to enjoy it.

Elton certainly does.  

AM and GnR in isolation do as well but having both doesn't feel *that* inspiring to me however I'm sure their fans and those who watch them will have a grand ol' time. 

Personally I don't mind if the Pyramid headliners aren't all dream bookings as I'm usually elsewhere.  Since 2010, I think it was only 2017 where I caught all 3 pyramid headliners and that was only because I couldn't be arsed leaving the group on sunday for Moderat and Justice, which is a regret I will have to live with - though it did end up causing an awkward moment later that night as I was telling someone in Shangri La the regret I had, only to turn around and be stood next to Ed Sheeran.

How good were Moderat and Justice

 

I think that was one of my all time best nights

Stop.  I haven't even been able to watch it back because it would only make me feel worse for missing them.

I can tell myself that I've already seen them a few times before and it's no great loss but damn, it's up there as one of my biggest glaso regrets.

One of the best sets in my 25 Glastonbury's, insanely brilliant

You have no idea what's been going on behind the scenes with regards to securing female talent that's on a level to headline the pyramid. 

Also - fighting gender inequality with more discrimination is poor form in my opinion!

If they knew they were going to see the cure at Glastonbury then most people would have put on a playlist in the run up 

And people going to see GnR will presumably do the same

Think of it as a life lesson. One that you shall not repeat.

I have never been so glad that I am in work and unable to watch a video.

That was a party. Loud as a mofo too.

So now its complaining about a 3 hour GnR set full of hits while Macca did 3 hours last year where half of the set was solo material which bored plenty of people I imagine til it finally got to the meaty part.

Wrong!

I think 7 solo tunes, 7 Wings tunes, 22 Beatles tunes. From 38 songs played.

Unless we're counting tunes like Band on the Run and Live and Let Die as "boring solo material" now? 

[Gnomicide]

This info needed a deep dive.

The other 2 tunes were a Quarrymen tune (basically a Beatles tune) and a very famous Bruce Springsteen tune.

As someone who hasn't read 375 pages of thoughts on this year's prospective headliners - is the general consensus of Monkeys, GNR and Elton not far off locked in? 

Does seem reasonably crusty to me but imagine it'll be made up for by having a more diverse mix on other stages (pop, dance or hip hop acts on Other, potentially?)

That's about the size of it.  Posters here with some industry contacts and a history of calling stuff correctly have stated as such.  Be a massive curve ball if it isn't.

GNR already had a member of the band say "Glastonbury is gonna be iconic", they're in. 

Be hugely surprised if AM isn't the third but I welcome a wild curveball

This ‘no diversity’ Slash slander needs to end. Brothers and sisters know where it’s at.

Nothing tells you that you're going to love it like watching people who make a side hustle by pretending to love things.

I don't think we have the same definition of crusty.

Of course there could be a more contemporary definition I'm not aware of.

Its essentially a Klan rally at this point. 

They should rename the Pyramid "The Nathan Bedford Forrest" stage.
