Elton John Glastonbury Bingo! Suggestions..?

487 replies

JemimaPyjamas · 25/06/2023 15:05

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

Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes

Original Sin

I’m already wincing at how strained and crap his voice is going to be. He better get some good guests on to disguise it.

RelaxedPigeon · 25/06/2023 16:27

I saw him live last week and his voice was far from strained and crap.

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 25/06/2023 16:28

Putting the camera on David and the boys

YellowAndGreenToBeSeen · 25/06/2023 16:29

Yeah, I saw him last summer and he sang brilliantly.

Funeral for a friend / love lies bleeding

Rick Astley (well he's been everywhere else this weekend - I love him!)

JemimaPyjamas · 25/06/2023 17:04

I have discovered new found awe of Rick Astley!

Shouldn't that be I'm Dill Danding? Or at least that was what it sounded like last time I heard him sing it live.

Sorry Elton.

IJustHadToLookHavingReadTheBook · 25/06/2023 17:06

Checking in!

I reckon Paul McCartney might turn up and they'll mention John Lennon, maybe have him on screen from when he played with Elton in New York.

Funeral for a friend / love lies bleeding

Rick Astley (well he's been everywhere else this weekend - I love him!)

He did this in the middle portion of his recent tour.

IJustHadToLookHavingReadTheBook · 25/06/2023 17:08

Would love to hear 'Sixty Years On' but it doesn't have a very festival vibe.

GellerYeller · 25/06/2023 17:14

As PP said, George Michael’s 60 th birthday so maybe some tribute. Would love to see Andrew, Shirley and Pepsi with him!
My money is on Britney and Sir Paul though. Or him bringing out everyone you can think of at the end, Band Aid style…

SlightlygrumpyBettyswaitress · 25/06/2023 17:28

Bunny and the jets will go on for 5 mins longer than you can bear.Chance to get a drink though

Hintofreality · 25/06/2023 17:36

Sam Smith gyrating on top of his piano, in nipple tassels and a studded cod piece, during “Circle of Life”

”Your Song” dedicated to David and their kids.

Crying during “Don’t let the Sun go down on me” for “dearest George”.

drpet49 · 25/06/2023 17:43

Anyone but Rick Astley. Can’t stand the smug git.

chipsandpeas · 25/06/2023 17:54

if Axl rose is still kicking about glasto maybe they will remurder bohemian rhapsody

Piscesmumma1978 · 25/06/2023 17:59

My daughter is convinced Eminem will be on with him!

I'm hoping Harry styles will make an appearance 😍🤞🏻

JemimaPyjamas · 25/06/2023 18:11

Cards printed and made - thank you everyone for your suggestions! It's been great x

His husband said it was 4 people he had said he’d love to do a collaboration with, I also assume it’s not anyone playing Glastonbury this year.

could be someone doing BST ie Springsteen, , take that, billy joel, Gwen stefani etc as they are in the uk right now. It’s pink playing tonight so not her. Or maybe adam lambert /queen

I’m not sure Elton can carry a full two hours any more, so bringing on 4 acts will be a strong support for him, they sing, he plays piano.

Wtafis · 25/06/2023 18:18

What time is his set?

massiveclamps · 25/06/2023 18:24

Crocodile Rock
I reckon he'll ask Michael Eavis up on stage
Might do Don't let the sun go down on me with GM singing on screen

JemimaPyjamas · 25/06/2023 19:00

I’m getting excited now!

Olly Alexander
Pet Shop Boys

Just guesses, Pet Shop Boys would be great !

Gateappreciation · 25/06/2023 19:18

What about a duet with the person who played him in the film?
