[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

[Dave the OAP]

In a climate crisis?!

Makes it even better ! It’s warmer

If you are used to me talking absolute shite while drunk to you on a concourse, if you are going to Glastonbury you can get ready for me to talk shite to you there instead.

 

[jackalbion]

Yeah, that happened to a lot of folk due to a 'technical issue'.

Several folk reported buying them AFTER a sell out was announced.

They really should run a lottery rather than put people through that crap.

Yep sold out at 10:09 and mine were purchased at 10:16, strange

 

[Stato]

Haven't been since 79, have I missed much

Sounds like you may have missed some roughage.

i'm less inclined to bother these days, seems like there's too much emphasis on geriatric pop

Anyone watching on BBC will get a certain view, for sure.

But the 'emphasis' can be on whatever you want at Glastonbury, given that there's 1000 acts across 50+ stages, running almost 24/7.

I missed out yesterday, one of our group did get through but got returned to the holding page after confirming the order. Not See Tickets finest hour. I'm amazed I've had tickets 8 times it's so flipping hard to get tickets far. I'm just glad Taylor isn't playing now, I'd have been uber gutted if Swifty was in with a shout of playing.

Try saying that at the afternoon Earache records curated a few years back!

She does seem to have a pretty big glastonbury sized hole in her tour, between two american dates.

 

[PHCgull]

I got in... just.

saw the first "sold out" sign at about 0945, got my deposit paid about 1020. unreal luck.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Playing Minneapolis on the Saturday night, so Swifty is all but ruled out sadly.

Thursday night on the williams green stage?

 

[Beach Hut]

Elton John headlining

 

[Mellotron]

Elton John headlining

His 4,000th farewell gig

 

[jackalbion]

His 4,000th farewell gig

Even the billing is some long and convoluted reason, 'his last UK appearance, on his last ever tour'

 

[Pogue Mahone]

 

[Hotchilidog]

A reassuringly underwhelming lineup, this may increase my hopes of success in the resale.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Very much looking forward to this.

From what's been announced I will be seeing Arctic Monkeys, Fred Again, Leftfield, Loyle Carner, Young Fathers, FBS, Ezra Collective and Hot Chip...if my schedule allows!

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Queens of the Stone Age are apparently playing too.

Unlikely. The line up may be underwhelming for you, but it is not to many.
