[Music] Bands/singers that would take Glastonbury by storm in 2023

[Normal Rob]

I'd be happy if Leftfield just came out and performed the whole of Leftism. Twice.

 

[Wozza]

Probably Rod Stewart and the Faces

His 2002 slot usually crops up in "worst Glastonbury appearances" lists, and his singing at the Jubliee was truly painful, so don't hold your breath for this one!

 

[DavidRyder]

Drive By Truckers
Broken Social Scene
Guided By Voices
My Bloody Valentine
The Wedding Present
Bob Mould
Throwing Muses

Good shout - or 50 Ft Wave

 

[DavidRyder]

Muse
The Cult
Massive Wagons

 

[Clive Walker]

The way Glastonbury is going it will be Steps in 2030.

Good, my wife would have made me watch it

Or even 'Kristin Hersh Electric Trio' as per Komedia in May, bit of everything .

Damn, missed that!

 

[DavidRyder]

REM

 

[Pevenseagull]

Damn, missed that!

You certainly did.

I reckon it's the 12th or 13th time I've seen her in some iteration or other. As good as ever. In proper fierce mode. Few tracks from the recent TM and 50FW albums and a heavy take on a selection of all back catalogue.

...and not a lot of blinking.

 

[Pogue Mahone]

I thought about them too … the Bristol scene.

The thread closer:

Faithless.

They’re far more than Insomnia, the perfect trio, crowd pleasers and some.



Sister Bliss is incredible.

For a quieter moment they also have one of my favourite ever love songs.

Oh, FKA twigs. A shoe-in for West Holts (or bigger) next year.

…and not a lot of blinking.

But a fair bit of making circles with her head?

Yet to see 50FW, not so easy these days being stuck in Dubai, but have seen her solo a dozen times or so. And Throwing Muses about 30 times back in the day!

 

[Brok]

Dunno about next year, but I can see Emma Raducanu 'doing a Kylie', and taking the world by storm at some point.

There again, she might be crap at signing, who knows...

 

[Official Old Man]

Andre Rieu. Always gets the crowd dancing.

Or maybe not....

 

[227 BHA]

Neil Diamond

 

[Wozza]

Neil Diamond

2017.

 

[Weststander]

Cucurella on vocals! Is there anything he can’t do?

 

[boik]

I'm by no means a fan, but I reckon Gary Numan could do it. He's got a legion of dedicated fans but enough songs that the public know.

Not sure if they've headlined before but the specials would smash it even without Jerry.
