I think at the next Glastonbury festival there might be a certain Harry Styles as a headliner, seems to fill stadiums across the globe, if not him,Rick Astley, surely part of an entertainer/showman is engaging with the audience, both do it in spades.Suede
Pulp
James
Blur
Madness
The Cure
Def Leopard
New Order
All have as wide if not wider catalogues as Oasis, also at least 6 of them are better bands too
Tuearts right boot

Thought so...thanks. ( surprised Ray Cooper's still with us......)The band contained three long term members who have been with him since the early 1970s - Nigel Olsen (drums), Davey Johnstone (guitar) and Ray Cooper (percussion) with the only exception being the late Dee Murray (bass) who was obviously missing last night.
Your going back to about 2010 for that price. It was 205 in 2013.i could have sworn it was 190 when i tried.... either which way. i wouldnt trust my memory.

Wonder how much the traders with pitches pay?the only year i applied for a ticket, about 6 summers ago, i got one. Other circumstances meant i had to turn it down, which was annoying. It's hard but far from impossible.
that year was definitely under £200, the £345 this year seems pretty mental
For me, the best headliner was Guns n’ Roses-yes I am a tad bias.
Critics and Glastonbury goers turned their noses up at them when they were announced- however they pulled it out of the bag-yes Axl left the majority of his vocals somewhere in 1993, but he still had a little power & rasp. I think the general consensus amongst a lot of people were that they were better than expected-myself included.
I feared the worst and even mentioned I was in the brace position before they hit the stage.
However it was all good, pulled a great crowd (festivals can be hit or miss as it’s never your crowd) a great selection of songs, and the band was tight-Slash in particular is getting better with age.
Sorry Elton, you were excellent last night, but Axl is my hero.

I think there's more to being a headliner than just being popular though. Otherwise we might as well predict BTS and BlackPink as the next headliners. In generally, you're supposed to have a certain level of critical acclaim, but there's obviously also a huge preference for rock and indie. The third day headliners is often a pop act, but usually a legend of the genre rather than a big current star. The likes of Ariana Grande or Bruno Mars are unlikely to headline any time soon, and they fill stadiums easily.I think at the next Glastonbury festival there might be a certain Harry Styles as a headliner, seems to fill stadiums across the globe, if not him,Rick Astley, surely part of an entertainer/showman is engaging with the audience, both do it in spades.

Yeah, I went in 2010 at it was £185They've been over £200 for 10 years.
Think it jumped up to over 200 after that
Mind you, they've knocked the price up 55 quid from last year which is some increase. But they'll probably go back to nudging the price up 15 quid or so for the next few years and before you know it, itll be over 400 ticket then heading towards 500.

I thought they were alright . I already knew Axl's voice isn't really there anymore so I wasn't going to be in for any disappointment. The band played well, slash was excellent and they had enough big tunes to carry it off. Crowed seemed to like it. I think they were worthy headliners, but nothing spectacular.
Elton knocked it out of the park though, I think he was the best headliner of the lot by some distance, even though I wouldn't necessarily listen to him in my spare time.
I think Arctic Monkeys and GnR both were solid enough headliners without being anything incredible.
