Elton John Glastonbury Bingo! Suggestions..?

487 replies

I need enough to have at least 40 (ideally).

I have, so far, numerous songs, and suggestions for who the mystery guests will be.

I also have names of people who'd potentially be mentioned or spotted (as there won't be commentary during the set, just before - it's not as easy as it is when doing, say, Royal Wedding bingo!)

Each card will have a mixture of the obvious and the not so obvious.

However, hive mind, more suggestions would be great - I have 32 so far, but can also omit some if other better one's come up. There are five of us to make cards for.

Current list is below...

  1. I’m Still Standing
  2. Legend
  3. Harry Styles
  4. Paul McCartney
  5. Britney Spears
  6. Final
  7. Promises to be different
  8. Lady Gaga
  9. First time at Glastonbury
  10. Final UK show
  11. Rocket Man
  12. Kate Bush
  13. Special Guest
  14. Royalty
  15. Honky Cat
  16. The Bitch is Back
  17. Border Song
  18. Tiny Dancer
  19. Showman
  20. Ed Sheeran
  21. Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me
  22. Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
  23. Candle In the Wind
  24. Your Song
  25. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
  26. I Guess That’s Why They Call It The Blues
  27. Dua Lipa
  28. David Furnish
  29. Collaborations
  30. Circle Of Life
  31. Sworn to secrecy

I am really enjoying this. Elton is terrific! I remember seeing him at Wembley Stadium in June 1984 (dear Lord, I am so old...) - Nik Kershaw was performing too, and Kool & The Gang as well. Paul Young was meant to be there but had to pull out because of throat problems, I think. Elton was amazing then, too.

He’s really showing what a Glasto slot should be in giving the people what they want. All credit to him and the songs that have truly stood the test of time!

@Niftythrifter He’s putting so many “headliners” to shame with this set! Exactly what a headline set should be - all killer, no filler and giving it all you’ve got!

What do we think he’ll end the set on?!

Dh is insistent that this is Sacrifice. I’m not wanting to end the night in an argument

He’s right! Some kind of sacrifice mash up!

DillDanding · 25/06/2023 22:37

It's awful, but we are loving it!

I'm not sure we're watching the same thing!

mrpenny · 25/06/2023 22:40

NIGEL AND RAY!!!! Xxx

Anon9898 · 25/06/2023 22:41

Would of loved taron Egerton to come on

woodstocky · 25/06/2023 22:41

Was Dua Lipa not available or something Confused

HangerLaneGyratorySystem · 25/06/2023 22:41

Sorry who's this?!

Squidlette · 25/06/2023 22:41

Jackiebrambles · 25/06/2023 22:40

He’s right! Some kind of sacrifice mash up!

I told dh that the title is sacrifice, not cold heart. Now I get it.

Isn’t the drummer Nigel alson ??

Ray Cooper!

Couldn't think of his name until Elton just said it but OMG he bashed his heart out for 2.5hrs straight when I saw him!

nunsflipflop · 25/06/2023 22:41

At last, he mentions George

tigger1001 · 25/06/2023 22:41

Am not a huge Elton John fan, but have to say he's been incredible tonight. An amazing set

the80sweregreat · 25/06/2023 22:41

Shout out for George Michael
Happy heavenly birthday George
❤️

Bluebells1970 · 25/06/2023 22:42

Aw George...... Sad

Niftythrifter · 25/06/2023 22:42

I would like Kylie to do this slot one year! I think she’d knock it out of the park too!

JobzaGoodun · 25/06/2023 22:42

Called it 😍

the80sweregreat · 25/06/2023 22:42

Love this song

groupery · 25/06/2023 22:42

What’s the final song going to be? Surely close now?

rocket man

Hugasauras · 25/06/2023 22:42

It's Cold Heart with Dua Lipa and it's Rocket Man and Sacrifice as the most noticeable two and two other Elton songs too.

HangerLaneGyratorySystem · 25/06/2023 22:42

Awkward?

MardiBras · 25/06/2023 22:42

George - I might be crying now

the80sweregreat · 25/06/2023 22:43

GM and him fell out once

Countdown2023 · 25/06/2023 22:43
