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,

No chance

Oasis would still bring in 20's/30's crowd, alot more higher than Pink Floyd would.

If there was a gig tomorrow in the UK and it was free... Oasis would draw the bigger crowd.

Not if the dead Floyd members were reincarnated…

Billy Ocean that’s who we need next year.

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.

Garbage!

Garbage!

A few hits in the 90's but nothing special, Man City bring bigger crowds than them :)

It wasn't till I moved from the Fens to Sheffield the other year that I realised just how enormous Billy Ocean is; still hear "Red Light Spells Danger" every week in a pub here. Hit machine.
