Glastonbury 2023

No way he's doing the legend slot. Reg is headlining.

Last UK gig of his final UK tour.

He is playing a few European concerts in July.

What's happened with the Roxy Music booking? Loads of media outlets reported them doing the legends slot and eFestivals had them as TBC. Now they've disappeared from that site's rumours page.

Possibly a recent media embargo until they sell out their 2023 tour dates which are soon to be announced?

Surprised there's no significant female act in a major slot. Possibly Lizzo and The Spice Girls announced soon with Taylor Swift for 2024. All pretty uninspiring thus far for June but obviously loads of good stuff will balance it out. Kraftwerk headlining the Other Stage would be special.

Thought 22 was a bit meh aswell for the most part. But Im at the stage now where Ive seen Macca twice at the festival. This will be the third time Arctic Monkeys have headlined in my time going. Coldplay have done 4 I think? Starting to look a bit stale.

I found 2022 a bit tough, I must admit. I thought it was a bit "Meh" with some highlights. One of the gang bought a heavy flag which was a pain in the ass (Flag too heavy, poll too tall - Wouldn't recommend it). And we hadn't been in 3 years and a few other minor things. Were out of practice. Will pick it back up.

But we still went for tickets of course for 2023 but couldn't get them (For first time in 15 years) Will still try for the resale of course.

Can't see GnR playing. It would be GREAT to see them on top-form headlining Saturday night Pyramid but too much of a risk I would imagine. What are the odds of them turning up on time and in form?

Arctic Monkeys? Yeah, they seem likely. But I agree, they will prob have a female headliner. And they need that - Not as some gender-equality stuff but simply because it works. It brings a new crowd. I mean, I'm not a big Taylor Swift fan - I have nothing against her. I applaud her success and, in fairness, she is willing to experiment. But I wouldn't go to see her in concert. However there is no doubt that she would have absolutely stormed Glasto in 2020.

I wouldn't be overly concerned about the lineup yet. If I were to get tickets for 2023 I would love to see Elton John. If for no other reason than he's Elton John and has a tune or two 😀. And it's his last touring date (Yeah right). The Monkeys? Wouldn't be the biggest fan but would depend on what else is on elsewhere.

To those who haven't been there before and are MAYBE a little underwhelmed by this potential lineup, I say this: There is more to Glasto than "The Pyramid" and "The Other" stages. And more than the headliners. Some of the best fun can be had at West Holts (Did anyone catch "Brass Against" last year?) or The Park or other, smaller venues.

And I know I SHOULD be saying "Oh that's muck, hand back your tickets" to help my case 😀. But yes, it could do with a bit of a shakeup. Just a bit of a kick in the pants but to the Glasto Virgins: Don't be put off if you don't like the headliners, there is lots to do and sometimes you'd be amazed what you can see just by having a mooch around.

looks like guns n roses are headlining

Almost certainly the Arctics on the Friday.

Haha.. Fair enough! Oops!

Yeah GnR are much more professional now. He's dosent even storm off stage any more. Have to admit they far exceeded my expectations when they reunited for Slane that time. Axl must have had some sort of vocal therapy because his voice sounds great.

I think they'd be perfectly fine headliners, people are constantly complaining about the lack of guitar bands at festivals these days but GnR certainly fit the requirement.

just heard on tv that Blondie guitarist let it slip that they have been booked for Glastonbury

Arctic Monkeys and GnR nd loads of others confirmed. Lana Del Rey and Wizkid headling the Other.

e: QOTSA were on a list put up by the Guardian, but have since been removed.
