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

Saw him in the mid 90's at Wembley stadium, it was when he and Billy Joel were touring together
Billy was ill so we got 3 hours of pure Elton - he was fab!!

Vitriolinsanity · 25/06/2023 21:34

I'm in fucking bits. He's smashing it.

His kids!!!!!!!!!!

HipHipWhoRay · 25/06/2023 21:34

Vitriolinsanity · 25/06/2023 21:34

I only wanted to see Billy Joel so got a refund!

WingBingo · 25/06/2023 21:35

I love this. He’s owning it.

such a massive crowd.

DustyLee123 · 25/06/2023 21:36

That guitarist reminds me of Jack Harper from On The Buses .

fireplacetiles · 25/06/2023 21:36

Can anyone that's been tell me, from the back of that massive crowd can you see/hear anything of the stage? Are there screens and speakers at the back?

We were not upset at all when the announced Billy wasn't on!

Teabutnotasweknowit · 25/06/2023 21:37

His voice was ropey at the start, definitely improving now. Philadelphia Freedom takes me back to my parents' juke box. Happy days.

Im going for Rod Stewart as a surprise guest.

I'd be fucked off trying to see through all the bloody flags and 'hot girlfriends on shoulders'.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 25/06/2023 21:38

In addition to getting a refund I saw him first time at Wembley 1975 when he admitted to be a c*nt for the way he performed.
Saw him twice again but only because he was on a double bill with Eric Clapton and finally on his own at the RAH because my husband wanted to go.

Piscesmumma1978 · 25/06/2023 21:39

I think he's brilliant!! One of the best of the whole weekend 😍

Vitriolinsanity · 25/06/2023 21:40

My last time live was Vegas.

He had me at 13 with I'm Still Standing.

Massive EJ love tonight.

Figgygal · 25/06/2023 21:41

The flags are Pissing me off at home and I didnt pay hundreds of pounds to see fuck all

We literally turned round on the way when we heard BJ was ill and scared the life out of the babysitter when we walked back in.

fireplacetiles · 25/06/2023 21:41

The Gabriel's have been my new highlight this year- their set was brilliant!

Cant see Brit appearing really, I love her but she really doesn't seem very well

VaddaABeetch · 25/06/2023 21:46

He’s not good on his feet??

his voice has defo improved since start. So many memories for me. My eldest : sisters 11& 19 years older loved EJ,

Piscesmumma1978 · 25/06/2023 21:46

I don't think Britney is mentally well enough either. She's just posted a photo of a diamond peach on IG though 🤔

VaddaABeetch · 25/06/2023 21:46

11 & 10 years older

Me too! It was absolutely epic - one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

I read somewhere that she was spotted in Mexico earlier today...

Coronationstation · 25/06/2023 21:48

I’ve got money on it all getting too much
for him at his age and he’ll have a cardiac arrest on the 3rd verse of Candle in the Wind and not even mouth to mouth by Harry styles will manage to revive him.
