To ask if anyone else went ‘who?’ When they announced the Coronation concert line up?

Who are these people?! I recognised Take That Olly Murs & Lionel Ritchie. And Katy Perry. Not a clue about the rest. Could they not attract better acts and more renowned presenters?

Yes quite a few ' Who's ! '

Hellocatshome · 07/05/2023 20:07

A lot of big names turned them down.

Badtasteflump · 07/05/2023 20:08

Ha agreed, presumably the 'big names' weren't interested. Personally I'm only watching for the scenery and Andreas Bocelli.

Lang Lang is an extremely famous pianist. I think Steve Winwood was listed, wasn't he? I'm familiar with him. Not sure who else I missed.

CeriB82 · 07/05/2023 20:08

Take that
katy perry
olly murs
lionel ritchie
the girl with the weird voice

it stopped there

Pete Tong Ebitha Classics!!

CeriB82 · 07/05/2023 20:09

oh Terfel too. But I don’t like his singing

but i know him so doesn’t really count.

ToWorryOrNot · 07/05/2023 20:11

I was offered free tickets.

I said no thanks 😂

Lovingitallnow · 07/05/2023 20:12

It was such short notice though wasn't it? I wonder is there a load of rules as well.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 07/05/2023 20:15

Three of Take That and Olly Murs - ooooh 🙄

mnahmnah · 07/05/2023 20:18

Yep. I knew the same as you, plus Pete Tong.

I assume the ones I don’t know are higher culture that I’m not familiar with, or known to the yoof!

mnahmnah · 07/05/2023 20:19

Oh, and Andrea Bocelli of course

Figgygal · 07/05/2023 20:19

I think its a good eclectic mix

Me too!

I can’t think of anything more tedious, plus I was told there’s no seating!

BoobyDazzler · 07/05/2023 20:21

How weird does Mark Owen look too. I don’t think I’d recognise him if I walked past him in the street and I used to fancy the pants off him!!

MeinKraft · 07/05/2023 20:22

Surely Brian May has to make an appearance at some point

BarelyLiterate · 07/05/2023 20:23

It’s bizarre that they have chosen American artists to top the bill. Shouldn’t they all be British or Commonwealth?

girlfriend44 · 07/05/2023 20:33

Scraping the barrell. Olly Murs.

Haha surprised how common this is , I was offered some through work but also didn't want to go as I'm not a royalist. Just as well as the line up seems really odd and not very enjoyable at all

usernother · 07/05/2023 20:40

No, I've heard of most of them. Only 2 I don't know. They have to try to get a really diverse line up to appeal to everyone.

Nicole needs to stop raising her arms so high. Lots of boobs there!
