[Music] Bands/singers that would take Glastonbury by storm in 2023

[Is it PotG?]

Paul McCartney - as he did in 2022.

 

[Mancgull]

Unfortunately that’s not going to happen. Mark Hollis died in 2019.

I’d like to see AC/DC before they get too old.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Unfortunately that’s not going to happen. Mark Hollis died in 2019.

Sadly, kind of the point really.

I'd also propose Nirvana and Johnny Hates Jazz.

 

[A1X]

Ringo Starr

More seriously, and I’m sure it’s a bit too “pop” for some, but I think Taylor Swift could produce an incredible show. For someone a bit more old school, how about Queen and Adam Lambert?

 

[crodonilson]

Am amazed that in his storied career Elton John has never played Glastonbury. Surely at the very least he would be a shoe in for the Sunday afternoon legends slot and he's got enough material to headline a night.

 

[Mr Bridger]

I’d like to see AC/DC before they get too old.

This, seen them a coupe of times, great live band.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I've always thought this guy would be good headlining a festival this side of the pond with his band



Sadly, it ain't gonna happen

 

[Weststander]

Pyramid stage, headlining any of the 3 nights. Every year.

[Herr Tubthumper]

I have always thought Depeche Mode would be great although I’m not sure what their plans are given the death of Fletch.

 

[KZNSeagull]

The perfect Glastonbury line up which will never happen should be:

Dead Kennedys
The Wedding Present
Killing Joke
Cocteau Twins
The Smiths

 

[WATFORD zero]

I've never liked whiny student bands, but creepy Crawley's finest are different, aren't they

 

[Machiavelli]

Didn't they headline a few years back?

 

[studio150]

It won't happen, but

Paul Weller, with special guests Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler for the last forty-five minutes of the near three hour set.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

The perfect Glastonbury line up which will never happen should be:

Dead Kennedys
The Wedding Present
Killing Joke
Cocteau Twins
The Smiths

At least there's be plenty of room to move in the audience

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Ringo Starr

More seriously, and I’m sure it’s a bit too “pop” for some, but I think Taylor Swift could produce an incredible show. For someone a bit more old school, how about Queen and Adam Lambert?

Queen + Adam Lambert will never happen either. Brian May is famously pro badger and Michael Eavis is pro cull coupled with insulting Bri over the issue.

 

[Wozza]

Didn't they headline a few years back?

Yeah, 2019 - the last Glastonbury before this year!

 

[Wozza]

I have always thought Depeche Mode would be great although I’m not sure what their plans are given the death of Fletch.

They previously turned it down... because they wanted control over which acts came on before them. Ridiculous.

Saw Dave Gahan play there once, though.
