Glastonbury 2023

Again for the people at the back…Oasis would not outsell Glastonbury…anyone who has been knows that you have your ticket before the line up is announced….it would be sold out before you even knew they were playing.

It was reported that the BBC had well over 500 employees at the festival. Covering regional TV and local radio. Many staying at expensive local hotels.

And yet zero footage available live or on the iPlayer of Sophie Ellis Bextor, hopefully phone footage on YouTube

Was it reported in one of the BBC hating right wing rags?

Not filmed because of "crew changes"

My money is on the ironically named GB News. An opinion and entertainment channel.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you ....The Damned.

They usually have a shite band on each year so these fit the criteria.

Just this thread shows how much the content was consumed, I think their Glastonbury coverage is some of the best stuff they do.

The other reason they have such extensive coverage is because they have worldwide rights for it too so if you’re a licence fee payer, then it’s really not something to have a go at them about.

Personally, that so much of it is available on the bbc is one of the few things I do like about Glastonbury nowadays, having stopped going a while ago. I watch it every year with my kids.

I'll only watch that if Lizzo can join in...

When do tickets go on sale...? Can I buy one for Thursday night only?

Asking for a friend, obviously...

Correct. Glastonbury sells Glastonbury. The acts are a bonus.

I'm not surprised, it's fucking huge. If you think they have to have a camera and sound crew, plus producers, directors, stage hand etc, etc for ever stage plus helicopter crews, roaming cameras and presenters. Would have thought that would be about right.

You'd have a good try though...

As much as everyone seems to love the Rick Astley singing Smiths songs, with Blossoms being relegated to being backing musicians for a solo singer, would anyone who bought "Ribbon Round the Bomb", pay to go to see Rick Astley as their lead singer singing those songs from that same album?.

Just watched Lewis capaldi. Fucking hell felt really sorry for the bloke. Crowd did a cracking job to lift him. :(

God speed.

The BBC coverage is exceptional, had a wedding over the weekend so couldn't watch much of it save for Elton last night but went through a lot of it today. That was a special performance from Elton last night although was a little deflated by the guests, he couldn't have really smashed it if he brought out a few bigger names. Incredibly odd Dua Lipa didn't show up to do Cold Heart given it was such a hit a few years ago.

Props to Candi Staton, still going at 86. Hallaljuah anyway is my favourite track.
