Glastonbury line up is a nightmare!

[EachandEveryone]

At first glance I was relieved as it looked like there were no acts I needed to see appart from my future husband Jarvis. And it was perfect, about five acts I wanted to try and see but no urgency. Elton obviously is one. I will not be in tip top condition this year and Im grateful just to be going but, honestly looking a it properly its full of clashes. Kelis V Artic Monkeys V Wizkid!

who would you be prioritising? https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up/line-up-2023/

Fed again, Young Fathers (wow wow wow), Loyle Carner, Leftfield, Max Richter, Alt-J, Thundercat, Glen Hansard, Hobo Johnson, Sherelle, Paranoid London, Folamour, Max Cooper (for the visuals). A few clashes but these would be my top picks.

Agree, Young Fathers were incredible when I saw them a few weeks ago. Mind blowing, beautiful, emotional. Just wow.

He really doesn't. We saw him at the O2 on Tuesday and I was worried about his voice but he was fantastic. Missed some of the high notes but generally great.
Two and a half hours and wall to wall hits.
He's pretty much had the same band since he started which is amazing.

Oops, quoted the wrong person. I was replying to this.
2Elton sounds like Vic and Bob these days. Sadly."

There's about 50 acts from a quick skim through I would be interested to watch.

When you see Billy Bragg topping a list, you just know it's going to be the shittest stage ever.

Although I like Yusaf / Cat Stevens. At least he can can still hold a tune. Although the best Legend ever was Barry Gibb - he was so genuinely delighted to be so enthusiastically received!

Billy Bragg tops that stage every year and I think you probably know that’s his stage that he is well involved with all the bookings. And it’s for like minded people. Just walk straight past it.

I've been twice, 1987 and 1995 (that was a stellar year, the line ups were insane).

I could have gone this year as a worker, so free in exchange for putting in a few hours a day. I turned it down as apart from Elton John, Queens of the Stone Age, Guns and Roses and Royal Blood the line up is shite. It gets worse and worse. Yes I didn't even bother for FREE.

Absolutely this.

I mean, I'm sure I'd find some real gems somewhere but clearly not on the main stages.

It was Glasto 1995. The gig choices were heartbreaking to make. I've still got my programme, written all over like a military operation of who to see when! Offspring blew me away. Every band that counted at the time were there. Great days. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/metro.co.uk/2015/06/26/glastonbury-in-1995-was-the-most-90s-thing-ever-here-are-13-reasons-why-5240528/amp/

Is Jarvis playing? I’ve just seen him live. He was IMMENSE

Oh that was so lovely wasn't it @AutumnCrow when he started talking about how people treated them as a bit of a joke and now seeing all those people singing along 🥲

I'd prioritise QOTSA above Eltons warbling any day!

Thanks for that article @SilentHedges could even see a couple of my friends bands listed who were on the Avalon stage that year when zooming in on the poster.
It was probably the best year I went.

Itd be Christine and the Queens, The Damned, and Candi Staton (hoping she's in better voice than Diana Ross) for me .... but that's a reassuringly meh lineup for me without tickets!

I'd be annoyed at having to choose between Hot Chip and The Damned. I think The Damned would win.

I'd be in for Toyah and Robert Fripp on the Sunday afternoon.

Saturday, I'd have an early night.

I've only been once..in 1982 #oldperson. I've just ordered the poster from the Glasto website. In those days you could get day tickets. I only went on the Sunday as I'd had Simon and Garfunkel at Wembley Stadium the day before.
My ticket was £8.

I found IOW really boring! Daytime line ups good but post 10pm really nothing more

And the beauty of Glasto is you can take your own booze and carry it into all aresa. No other festival does that. The food is fantastic also. The curry bus has seating and tables upstairs.

I just saw Pulp at my local festival, you definitely, definitely, definitely have to see them if 'The Churnups' do turn out to be them. The show they have put together is phenomenal.

I'm afraid Jarvis is my future husband though 😁.

Bearded Theory does

The Churnups are the Foos apparently. Pulp also one of the TBA’s.

Camp Bestival lets you take your own booze as well.

Shambala does too

It makes such a difference. Some places take it off you or you can’t drink at the stages.
