Glastonbury 2023

If I was a betting man, rather than being someone bored at work, I reckon a reasonable bet for the next headliners would be something along the lines of Taylor Swfit or Harry Styles as the big pop act, Blur/Pulp (or Oasis if they get back together), then either a big hip hop act or a big old rock act like AC/DC (can't think of any others!).
I wouldnt be surprised if the headliners are Swift, Styles and Pulp or the Spice girls possibly the latter in the Legends slot.
 
I bet there's loads in that age group that couldn't name many more Pink Floyd tracks without the use of google.

Im 50 and at school/college there were about 5 or 6 of us who knew a fair amount of their catalogue but we all had older parents, so our brothers were 10 to 15 yrs older who were into Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull in the early 70s.

Most people who grew up in the 80s could name more songs by Bananarama, Wet Wet (fucking) Wet or Bros, than Floyd.
I know both songs by Bros,
 
GNR aren’t relevant - in their 60/70s and last album was 2008
No member of Guns n’ Roses are in their 70s.
You are correct the last album was 2008, however Duff and Slash rejoined Axl in 2016 and they have been playing sold out stadiums again since the 90s.
Are they relevant? Well not sure that really matters when they have enough credit in the bank and what I mean by that is their debut album ‘Appetite For Destruction’ is the biggest selling debut album of all time, the ‘Use Your Illusion 1 & 2 albums both released on the same day hit number 1 and number 2 in the charts around the world and stayed there.
Not particularly relevant, but everyone knows the songs.

Flicking through iPlayer, presumably the Nova Twins had a shopping trolley at the side of the stage to help them get their pedal boards home.
 
I did see that someone noted a gap in Taylor Swift's tour schedule over next year's Glastonbury weekend.

If it was her and Madonna headlining one weekend, they'd need to work out who got the Sunday night.
Yeah i think she is an absolutely certainty to be headlining. We already know the festival see her as headline material after the cancellation in 2020.

Madonna would be the Sunday Night slot.

She won't have had a studio album for 5 years and a hit single for 15 years by the time next summer comes around, she's only going to be doing the legend slot on a Sunday.

Why? The legend slot is in the daytime.
