[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

[jackalbion]

Id love to know what you do for a living! Genuinely intrigued (but you don't have to answer of course)... travel the country taking in football games on daily basis all season... off to Glasto...

I work up in London so I can usually bounce off to non league games and I can work remotely. I get a big discount on travel because, well if you read some of my posts you can work out my job. Let’s just say while I’m elated about Europe, it will cause me nightmares in my job. My annual leave is down to the wire though I have to say after booking the European potential dates. I’m just a big believer in living life now while I’m (fairly) young, after the pandemic I realised what I missed and didn’t want to miss out in case it happened again. I always say I’m going to do less games next season, but I did 21 extra this year.

Great stuff - damn right live life while you're young.

Always jealous reading through the Glastonbury thread with a young family but hoping to go again when the kids are older!

So you think The Churnups are Foo Fighters? Thought it may be Pulp, who I’ll see At Latitude. Interesting.

Interesting use of words at the end of the second paragraph, I reckon it’s them now. I think the 4 TBAs have been worked out now, the one at the same time as Foo fighters will be a good laugh if they don’t float your boat. Still not sure what Saturday on Woodsies is but someone seemed pretty certain it’s Hozier which is a let down.

Looked through the line-up for a friend.

Noticed that DJ ABSOLUTELY SH1T is playing The Wow - 1.30-3am, Friday morning.

The great thing is they are really managing expectations.

You basically can’t complain at whatever they serve up.

This is the one year I'd actually go see the headliners instead of staying in the rave tents

 

[Randy McNob]

Arctic Monkeys are now a doubt as Alex Turner has Laryngitis. They cancelled their Dublin gig

A recap on the full schedule.

I can now have my traditional gripe that the EPG listings once again tell me who is presenting each programme but not the actual artists names. For all those people who base their Glasto viewing on what Clara Amfo and Jo Whiley are introducing

I didn’t have you down as a fan of Elton John.

I thought it was the Foo’s, kinda thing they do. I’ll be doing the same at Lattitude, looking forward to Pulp.

Churnups ARE the Foos. Decent source on this one.

 

[The Clamp]

Churnups are the Foo Fighters.

It’s that slightly unfunny but very likeable humour of DG. He’s such a Dad.

Also they have a new album to promote.

I still reckon they'll go ahead and play. I wonder if cancelling the Dublin gig was a precaution rather than anything else.


In fairness, they have been on tour constantly for the last few months with only a gap between their Asian tour and their Euro tour. They were fantastic in Hamburg.

Churnups ARE the Foos. Decent source on this one.

The post on their Insta account suggests so.

Most looking forward to The War on Drugs Sunday evening, hoping for a full live stream or broadcast.

 

[Reagulls]

Chemical Brothers DJ set on the massive spider stage (Arcadia) Friday night for me! as Virtual22 hoping for a full live stream or broadcast.

On BBC TV can we get to see any set in full live, any stage, via the red button?

The BBC films at five (of the 40+) stages. Some acts don't allow their performances to be recorded.
