Glasto 2023

is it though?

There are some older people i like, but i'd have absolutely no interesting in seeing them live as they are passed it.

If i was a massive g n r, when they were big in their prime - why would i want to see that the other night?

I like lots of artists who were in their peak before I was born but I'd still really like to see them live.

I was a big Oasis fan growing up, but that was just after they split. If they ever came back together I'd want to go see them.

Compare a modern Metallica concert to this, night and day difference. Im not even a Metallica fan either but saw them with a friend a few years back and it just lacked intensity. I can't think of many bands who kick ass live more in their older years than when they were younguns.



To be fair this is one of the most legendary sets ever

Bet it absolutely honks of BO in that crowd

Mad crowd. Proper bit of history to it as well

Nicked from Reddit, but accurate I feel.

Stereophonics have probably had more hits than most British rock bands, 12 top 10 albums 7 of them No 1

There is a massive thing missing in that crowd that blights anything today.

Mobile phones.

People went to gigs to actually watch them back in the day. I get the feeling that many people go to Glastonbury to say they have been there these days.

God I'm old.

I'll bet Glastonbury does too!

If there isnt a vague hint of BO, urine and excrement in the air can it truely by classed as a proper gig?

Much less so though. Lots of people use wet wipes and deo at festivals. Can't imagine many in a mosh pit even do that outside of festivals...

What say you @Joey66 ?

Is modern day Glastonbury better than when you went to Woodstock?

Rick Astley was absolutely brilliant.

The manics were still the manics - class.

Enjoyed Lizzos performance.

Elton was alright, but prob the right time to be hanging up the glasses.

The rest - pretty meh.

Couldn’t be arsed going if you paid me - sooner watch it on the tellybox now.

I can remeber the Levellers headlining Glastonbury in the early 90's. It was a great festival around that time. Pretty much every act was either a Rock/Indie/Alternative band or a real folksy bluesy band.

I’d love to see james given a 2 hour headline spot … purely for my own selfish reasons

Best player I never got to see.

New Order is a great shout tbf. Think they'd need to get Hook back on board though. They have the Joy Division catalogue to fall back on too which is probably better than their own stuff IMO. Great live too.

Did you catch Peter Hook and the Light at Isle of Wight recently?

I mean, Hooky doesn't have Ian or Bernard's voice but he put on a great set for 90 minutes doing all the old Joy Divsion and New Order classics.

Getting Hook back with New Order again has to be the Holy Grail....unlikely, but it'll happen before Waters and Gilmour ever get back together!

How is that not a contradiction?! You said no one 70-79 should ever headline.

Honestly you need studying for science when you snuff it.

Science doesn't stand a chance, the mother ship will be back to beam him aboard.
