[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

[Is it PotG?]

Becky Hill was having the time of her life and gave a really good show.

Did she do "Ernie (The Fastest Milkman in the West'?

 

[Frutos]

Quite looking forward to Elton tonight - he puts on a hell of a show, and I suspect no stop will remain unpulled on this occasion.

Erm…..

Elton guest predictions...

Britney Spears
Rina Sawayama
Dua Lipa
Maybe Eminem or Lil Nas X or Jake Shears.

Kiki Dee plus the ghosts of George Michael, Graham Taylor & Lady Di?

 

[patchamalbion]

Fred Again, Maneskin, FBS, Rick and Lana Del Ray have been my favourites thus far - if they’d allowed LDR to continue it would have been tough to beat

 

[pb21]

Red Eyes by War on Drugs is such a tune

Whole set is TBH.

Dave Grohl, he seems to have been on everyone else’s

For me Rick Astley playing drums and covering Highway To Hell is sorcery at its best

the guy is a mega god

 

[BN9 BHA]

Elton John on tv soon, I’ve just seen this bingo card and putting together one of my own to mark off comments my wife will make.
So far I’ve got -
Saw him at Live Aid…..He’s definitely a showman…he’s good on the piano FFS

I may just go and play ball in the garden with the dog.

 

[BN41Albion]

Loving Candi Staton - great to watch before Elton soon!

I cannot deny my opinion of him has changed over the weekend. Really hope the Blossoms and him tour the Smiths Review

 

[Silverhatch]

Rick Astley fast approaching NATIONAL TREASURE territory

 

[A1X]

Just been catching up with the Lightning Seeds set on iPlayer, great stuff

I don't understand why they weren't given a bigger stage at Glastonbury.

Brought the house down when they first did the Smiths gigs in 2021 (I was at the second one).

A guaranteed winner for festivals. Could have easily been Pyramid Stage.

 

[Beanstalk]

Lawrence Fox

He’s on Facebook live, drunk again, burning pictures of Elton And David Furness looking happy together in protest tonight I’m afraid.

 

[Jam The Man]

Yep that was the best set of the gig for me.

Secret set innit. Wasn’t billed even if it was one of the worst kept secrets this year. Took the same spot The Killers did in 2017 so actually quite a big spot for them to get.

Most looking forward to The War on Drugs Sunday evening, hoping for a full live stream or broadcast.

Massively biased but for me they absolutely smashed it, terrific set and best of the weekend imo. Only slight tinge of sadness was they didn’t do Thinking of a Place which is probably in my top five best songs ever made but at over ten minutes long I get it’s a huge chunk of their slot.

Elton walked on like a bloke who’s been desperately avoiding the Glasto loos for a week

 

[Kosh]

Cat was awesome, beautiful arrangements with the keyboards in particular sounding absolutely lush … and yes his voice (has altered, aged) but very well imho… interesting and brave set too… dipping into every part of his career… the crowd clearly lapped it, as did I.

As for the rest, not my cup of tea… no Ritchie, no Kosh
