[Music] Glastonbury Festival 2023 - the thread

[wunt be druv]

I really didn't expect to enjoy that as much as I did...fantastic stuff! Mind you it gives the organisers a real headache for next year...how on earth do you follow that?

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Good god that was just OUTSTANDING.

personally I thought that was the best thing I have seen at Glastonbury.

Knew every lyric of every song .

What a talent that man is.

 

[Frutos]

Absolutely fantastic set.

Up there with the all-time best of Glasto for me.

 

[Jam The Man]

No notes were hit in this vocal performance, but many were wounded.

Fun though.

This is true.

My favourite thing I saw from Glastonbury this year was Fever Ray.

But then it would be.

 

[Beanstalk]

I absolutely love that Paul McCartney was spotted at the side of loads of acts this weekend and rumoured to be the special guest at almost all of them but was actually just there to hang out and enjoy the festival.

Glastonbury is nuts.

It'll be Taylor Swift, I almost guarantee it. She's in the UK June / July next year on her world tour and has a suspiciously free weekend coinciding with Glastonbury. Now it could be coincidence, and she's planning on playing a cheeky round at St Andrews or attending the Isle of Wight Steam Railway gala, but I suspect not.

Just catching up with Cat Stevens on iPlayer. Wow, his uniquely beautiful vocals are still there and what an amazing little song catalogue. Love him. He should have greater recognition.

Morning Has Broken was used as a hip modern hymn at my infant school in the early 70’s, cute memories.

Loved Elton ! But, Is it just me or is he turning in to Austin Powers ?

 

[DFL JCL]

QOTSA! What a band! Blistering set.

 

[Munkfish]

Incredible I’ve been to several Glastonbury’s and almost always avoid the headline acts. But that was one for the ages. That will be talked about for years. Absolutely brilliant. What a back catalogue.

Making up for 2020. Or:
The Rolling Stones
Beyonce

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

People who aren't Elton John fans are now Elton John fans.

I was thinking earlier of artists I really don't like, who I could easily put together a 1 hour fantastic greatest hits playlist.

Elton John
The Carpenters (well....I actually love the Carpenters)
George Michael (albeit...)

Just Elton, then

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

CMat - I wanna be cowboy babe….

sublime,
wow, that’s a bit of me

 

[HH Brighton]

Can’t read the whole thread but the Young Fathers set was unbelievable

definitely. This was his Queen at Live Aid. An absolute masterclass.

 

[Stato]

Morning Has Broken was a hymn long before Cat Stevens recorded it.

 

[AstroSloth]

Best back catalogue in music? Certainly up there.

I agree.

Queens of the Stone Age have got the best back catalogue in music. Every song a hit.

Taylor Swift all but confirmed. When 2020 was cancelled Emily Eavis said she’d agreed to play it next time she toured the UK. She’s kept both possible weekends free next year.

The rumour is Sam Fender/Taylor Swift/Madonna. Sure it’ll be as fantastic as always.
