Glastonbury 2023

[integrale_evo]

There’s quite a few on the list I’d like to see, but again the headliners seem bland beyond belief. The 1975 are as wishy washy middle of the road as it gets.

[Jobbo]

I feel old.

Then you'll probably like most of the acts who are playing - they're older than us

Comes to something when Olivia Rodrigo looks cutting edge in the line up. Mind you, plenty I shall be watching in that list. Leftfield, Charli XCX, The Selecter being my immediate favourites.

[Gavster]

Not fussed about the headliners but a lot of support acts that are really interesting. I need to get to Glasto one day.

[Rich B]

My take on the main names:

1975 are dull as fuck, i don’t know who Olivia Rodrigo is and is Neil Young still alive?!

Given Coldplay headlined last time out, this appears par for the course...

[integrale_evo]

Oh, I know that. I just find it incredibly annoying. The beast headliners are the ones with a bit of bounce, excitement and energy.

But hey, it sells out every year before they’ve announced anyone so it doesn’t really matter what I think

100% what I thought when I saw it

[dinny_g]

Glastonbury trivia question.

Who are the only band to headline both stages in the same weekend ??

[Gavster]

Starting up again this year. I’m less fussed about the main stages, I really need to get my ass there one year as a lot of the stuff I’d like to see won’t be televised, I reckon I’d end up having around the smaller stages.

Yeah, get over to the Woodsies stage at 3.15pm on Friday for Shed Seven.

And Paul Carrack and Ralph McTell (among others) doing Bob Dylan covers on the Acoustic Stage at 3.00pm on Saturday. Actually that could be quite good.

[dinny_g]

Not much appealing on Friday but Saturday has Hothouse Flowers at 20:00 and Neil Young at 22:00

For Sunday, Chic at 18:00 are always good and then The Orb and Leftfield at 19:15 and 20:15 (but I doubt that will be televised)

Nothing I’m particularly interested in seeing. The surprise appearance is often good, heard lots of rumours. I’m going to see Iron Maiden in London on Saturday so I’ll miss most of it anyway!

I was looking forward to Neil Young and some 80's nostalgia until it twigged I was thinking Paul!

I saw Gary Numan on one of the other stages if you're desperate...

Neil Young can be a cantankerous old git so if he decides to play "the hits" it'll be amazing. But he's just as likely to play new unreleased stuff from his next album which no one's heard yet.

[Gavster]

Speaking of cantankerous the Brian Jonestown Massacre are playing one of the smaller stages and I'd love to see them if only for the potential drama and of course Anemone.

Ohh fuck that's just down the road from me and there's tickets available! I absolutely love Maiden live, seriously tempted to see if I can pick up a last minute bargain ticket on facebook.

Get yourself there! We can go for a beer before. I can’t imagine they’ll be doing many more tours after this one.

[Swervin_Mervin]

Well, there's Deftones on the Saturday. And Terrorvision are buried in there somewhere. That's about it really.

Prodigy, Leftfield and Wolf Alice possibly also worth a watch.

[dinny_g]

The BBC won’t be broadcasting Neil Young at all apparently - either live or on iplayer
