We love a divorce anthem dance party let's be honest. Seriously, I'd love nothing more than Bjork to do a greatest hits set, but as a huge huge Bjork fan she's never going to do it. The Bjorkestral shows were the closest I think you'll get. The last time she did something even resembling one was the Volta tour 16 years ago!

When she was at blue dot in 2022 she insisted there was no sound leak from anywhere on site. Apart from one small tent that was well away from the main stage and the sound was turned down in that, there was no other music from anywhere. Even the food stalls were told to switch music off yeah, I can’t see Glasto being inclined or able to provide that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted August 18, 2024 Report Share Posted August 18, 2024 She probably is tbh, but there's probably no chance they could afford her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrogLobster Posted August 18, 2024 Report Share Posted August 18, 2024 Probably more chance of Bjork doing a DJ set now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted August 18, 2024 Report Share Posted August 18, 2024 Saw her on the old NME stage in the early nineties. There was a mosh pit and I got kicked in the head. She was wearing a pink dress and it was cracking. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprefan Posted August 18, 2024 Report Share Posted August 18, 2024 8 hours ago, Acid_Haze said: She played Coachella last year, it was a bit out of the blue and she did actually crack out a solid few hits. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/bjork/2023/empire-polo-club-indio-ca-63b83a67.html Hunter, Jóga, Pluto, Isobel, Hyperballad, Aurora, You've Been Flirting Again. I reckon if she did something like this at Glastonbury it'd go down well. Not legend slot though, maybe headlining Other, or even West Holts if she'd take it It was an orchestral set. And she said she was gonna bust out some classics. Add in the drone show too. Cant have the drones if its not dark anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SZA looks like a future-thinking punt, Billy Joel makes the fest look completely out of touch It wouldn't. On here maybe it would, where people worship the likes of Nick Cave.

The Nal Posted August 19, 2024 Report Share Posted August 19, 2024 So after a very successful European tour, rumours of a 2025 AC/DC tour persist. They were great on Saturday. Would smash the Pymild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Bjork is absolutely suited to the vibe of the stage. Progressive beat-driven music using all sorts of global influences. She's tailor made for it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No - other or pyramid sub I'd maybe even rule them out entirely - two big shows to sell in near proximity which are clearly going to struggle! Wizkid and Burna Boy in the same category (well slightly different as its more their crowd is not really at glasto) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted August 19, 2024 Report Share Posted August 19, 2024 (edited) All the chat about DEI/representation got me thinking about all the ethnicities of the headliners since The Turning Point (Jay-Z year in 2008), so I went and investigated. All the members for each band/group/artists - all of the f**kers. It took some time. Some have mixed heritage mind you, so for example, in the case of Beyonce, she has black and Spanish heritage, I marked it in both. Who knew Chris Martin's mum was from Rhodesia? A state that doesn't even exist anymore! How's that for having diversity on the stage for 2024! Massive lack of Arabic and West Asian bands at the top of the tree. Appalling in fact, especially when considering that a virtual band like the Gorillaz have bloody done it. White Irish on the other hand are massively overrepresented if you factor in the British and Irish population differences. Disgusting. Not all the pie slices have their label, but you can find out more here - https://www.meta-chart.com/share/ethnicity-of-glastonbury-headliners-since-2008 Edited August 19, 2024 by MEGATRONICMEATWAGON 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
