TimR Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 So you've been put in charge of booking the next Glastonbury acts. Who would you pick? Not just acts you like, they have to have wide appeal, but obviously you get to pick so will be heavily influenced by your tastes. Quote
TimR Posted June 25, 2023 Author Posted June 25, 2023 Elton John's going down a storm. I'm not keen on EJ songs as I've had to play them in shows and there's far too many chords for my linking. So luckily it's his last gig so he's off my list by default. Quote
Lozz196 Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 I’d like for the headline slots on the Pyramid stage Fri - Taylor Swift/something modern Sat - The Sex Pistols (if they’d reform of course) Sun - Jeff Lynnes ELO 1 Quote
LowB_FTW Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Def Leppard, Larkin Poe, MonaLisa Twins, Terrorvision, Is The KLF still together? if so, them, The Proclaimers, KT Tunstall, Aimee Mann, Thunder, Fiona Apple. Main headliners would be Def Leppard. Mark Quote

TimR Posted June 25, 2023 Author Posted June 25, 2023 I think the headliners have to be fairly mass appeal now. Quote
Raslee Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 Eclectic mix: Parliament/funkadelic (P Funk), JTQ, Roni size, Rudmental (currently watching), Damien Marley, Dreadzone, Gong/Hillage, Ozrics, Dua Lipa, Vibronics, Snarky Puppy, Cory Wong, The Fearless Flyers, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, Led Zepplin, Afro Celt soundsystem, Orbital, Chemical Brothers, Warpaint, Dr .

Damnthatlazlo Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 I think you’re looking at Taylor Swift/Rhianna something like that for Friday. Coldplay for Saturday and then maybe Madonna/Depeche Mode for Sunday. I generally don’t bother with the Pyramid. My wife doesn’t handle the crowd that well, don’t think the kids would like it. If I do go next year, it’s going to be a very different experience. 🤣 Quote
tegs07 Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Pyramid Friday: Depeche Mode Saturday: Dr Dre (with Eminem and Snoop Dog). Sunday: U2 Other stage: Friday: Loyle Carner Saturday: Pixies Sunday: Massive Attack (with Horrace Andy who would have already performed on West Holts) and Stephanie Dosen).

SteveXFR Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Pyramid headliners: Bruce Springsteen Alice In Chains Flaming Lips Other Stage Headliners Idles Rancid Future Islands Park Stage Headliners Tad Savages (ill persuade them to reform) Garbage Quote
pete.young Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Bonnie Raitt for the Sunday afternoon Legends slot. Quote
Doctor J Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Having become detached from popular music awareness around 25 years ago, I'd expect a decent modern festival to be full of names I don't recognise. Any lineup I'd come up with would read like something from the last century and it shouldn't be that way. Many of the bands from my era are mediocre live, these days, even when playing the old music from back when they were good. They shouldn't be at the festival, anyway. I need a time machine festival 😂 5 Quote
chris_b Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 Me, in various bands, headlining each night on the Pyramid stage. 2 1 Quote
cetera Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Jeff Lynne's ELO Pink The Doobie Brothers Earth, Wind & Fire Kate Bush - but she'd have to do some old classic hits Edited June 26, 2023 by cetera 1 Quote
Bassassin Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 My ideal lineup would consist of bands I have absolutely no interest in, as I despise festivals & this would provide absolutely no incentive to be stupid enough to go. Fortunately, Glastonbury seems to manage to do this every year anyway, with no assistance from me. 👍 1 Quote
