Glastonbury 2023

[City Hobgoblin]

Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets could do a main stage headline

I think the criteria has to be can you name 25 songs of the top of 80% of the target audience heads. The Jam? Maybe not.

Yeah they're not exactly global mainstream are they .)
It's a tough spit to fill that 'legends one.

Thought Elton was epic & the best of this years performers. It was a brilliant set.
Also a mention for the Manic Street Preachers, who I thought were also excellent.

Like twice

Never liked them. Makes me a weirdo, I know.
Im on night 3 of watching Arctic Monkeys while half pissed up in my conservatory anyway. That was a great set and I wasnt really all that arsed about them before

Enjoy yourself Wally, I did exactly that last night. Monkeys were brill. What a drummer

Just watching Rick Astley and the Blossoms doing The Smiths, I saw a couple yesterday, but watching the full set now.

So very well put together, I'm not a fan of Rick Astley, but they both nailed it, really enjoyed it.

Did anyone else watch the set by Third World on iplayer?
Contained an unexpected ‘gear change’ just after the 45 minute mark that you just don’t see coming.
It was quite brilliant too & well worth a look before it disappears from the hidden gems page on iplayer.

Yep. Thought wife had switched it over

 

[Crooked_rain]

I'm going to give Queens Of The Stone Age a watch if it's on iPlayer

their music has never grabbed me even though a lot of my mates swear by them but I'm gonna give them another try

That'd be epic and would persuade me to go.
If only there was a way to know who's on when booking.

 

[blumoonrisen]

Never been but always wanted to, it's one of them bucket list things. Just too expensive.

I didn't see much of it, but what I did see I enjoyed. Arctic Monkeys on Friday night, Cat Stevens earlier today, and Elton John tonight was brilliant.

I don't know who the huge guy in the pink suit was who came on and sang a song with him, but he was enjoying his time on stage. Quite a personality.

In my mind, it's the happiest end to Glastonbury I have seen. Good on you, Elton. Two and a half hours of absolute pleasure.

Fucking hell how come some of the artists sounded crap ie blondie and Axl, thought Cat stevens Elton and the pretenders and Rick were worth paying the ticket price,

Astley murdered most of the set,but it was still a brilliant watch.

Elton John was a bit of a let down,gotta take his age and physical condition into account,but many of his songs were rushed and lacking the quality he used to display - a lack of an encore was also disappointing and clearly a surprise.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Lingerie and a whip? Yes please.

Elton John was a let down in the same way City only winning 3 trophies this season was.... He smashed it out of the park.
