Glastonbury 2023

Would love it but haven't they turned it down in the past? Be sad for them to do it without fletch but reckon they've got one more epic gig in them.

They originally turned it down in the late 80's I think and then never got asked. Dave Gahan has said recently that they are now on speaking terms...so...watch this space. Trouble is they tour for a year and a half, rest for 2 and then record...4/5 year cycles. So it would have to be next year...

Elton was on top form, hit after hit and it helps having amazing musicians backing you.
No other act came close this weekend.

 

[The Black Shed]

Waiting for QOTSA to be uploaded onto iplayer, then plug in the headphones and listen to one of the world's finest kick-ass rock band. On a school night. Oh yeah I know how to live

 

[East Level 2]

Excellent set by Mr Dwight. Pity I'd never heard of any of his much anticipated guests.

I suppose for a band not playing Glastonbury is like being Harry Kane.

Funnily enough I never thought Oasis were a great live act, their Glastonbury set in 2004 was shite and they've admitted themselves that they've never really pulled it off as festival headliners.

I reckon they could do a good job now though because I think if they reformed and played Glastonbury, it would be highly anticipated and they have plenty of hits. It's not like theyre an active band 10 years past their prime and promoting some shite album like they were for the back half of their career.

I think if they did it now, it would be in a very different context and really good as long as they didn't sound awful

They were superb at Maine Road.

Me n the Mrs thought he was brilliant...a 76 year old bloke doing a 2 HR set like that was fantastic...2 hrs can't justify his back catalogue... absolutely loved it. The pictures of the crowd..Wow ..

 

[ctidcarl]

Fun game. Madonna?

That isn't a bad shout -
She, like Elton, has a huge catalogue of songs
She, like Elton, has a huge fanbase covering generations, sexuality etc
She, like Elton, I'm sure, could have the crowd eating out of her hand - I saw her live at live 8 and she was probably the best artiste on the day

Haha, I bet he's never played there either.

They were mustard in 94
