Metal at Glastonbury 2023

[NorthernSoul52]

You'd never get 'em at Glastonbury because they are undoubtedly a band who would chafe at anything below Pyramid headliner...

But speaking as a fan who feels they are punching above their weight as a live draw, I'd take an hour of Def Leppard third down on the Friday.

1 Animal
2 Foolin'
3 Armageddon It
4 Love Bites
5 Let's Get Rocked
6 When Love and Hate Collide
7 Rocket
8 Bringin' On the Heartbreak
9 Hysteria
10 Pour Some Sugar On Me
11 Rock of Ages
12 Photograph

(I would also say, as a fan, they'd struggle to keep momentum across much more than that at a Glastonbury show.)

I think if there was a big enough calling for it, it'd be there. But there isn't, so maybe deal with it? 😼

Speculation the name of the hypothetical game, to be fair.

Svalbard are doing festivals in June. Could see them on the farm as well as Employed to Serve off the back of their Gojira tour. Looks good for the gender balance for the festival too if that’s something they are wanting to right.

Electric Callboy active in Europe in June. They are free the Saturday and Sunday after a date in Germany so maybe they could show up. Would be great fun!

[Justiceforcedave]

Hmmmm looking at The Melvins dates again and they’d have to hop over from Europe on the 23rd then back to Europe on the 24th. Less confident now.

I reckon we should be in for a few curveballs for Glasto. There are a lot of bands touring this summer and playing Download but there’s always the chance of people not on tour popping up for a show.

If anyone fancies some Mongolian metal, The Hu sound heavy enough 

[mungo57]

Not metal but would love to see Ist Ist show up for an early slot any of the 3 days

[Deviceing]

Earache seems to have been further relegated to just Thursday now. We've got Skindred, Ho99o9 and ALT BLK ERA. Anyone spotted anything more (The Hu mentioned above)?

[NorthernSoul52]

Anyone caught Empire State Bastard in the flesh yet?

Oh wow, I've only just spotted this, sounds like one for me.

Their last album had some lovely textures to it, actually, they'd be a hoot. Not off of course this year, but it would be a toss-up to see them, alas.

Been listening to them recently, something different, I’ve been practicing Mongolian throat singing in case there’s a singalong.

How's that coming along? 😁

Yeah. Unreal at Underworld Camden. Not for the faint hearted

Nice, nice. I'll put my sweater vest on, nothing like that to get a man moshing.

Empire State Bastards for a bit of Biffy Simon 😁

Not the greatest year for it, I just can't believe I got to see Gojira at the farm in 19.

So good. Deciding to ditch my group for this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made at the festival, and totally worth absolutely wrecking my throat and voice for the remainder of the festival. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, wish I'd been around for that. Corker of a live act.

Sounds like a constipated devil worshipper

What a turn of phrase that is.

Anyone aware of any djs playing a bit of the heavy stuff anywhere?

I'm not sure of any metal played on the site, however there was a indie and rock bar (Taphouse bar) near Leftfield/ phone charging place that was new for last year.
