BlurI was thinking about other acts that could hold a crowd and E.L.O came to mind, they have a pretty decent collection of songs.

Saw Blur on Saturday night. They were amazingBlur
Again not a huge fan, I dont know enough of their stuff to think yes or know.Blur
That was just a snarky comment from his husbandElton's first song last night was the first time he had performed it in 10 years apparently.
Heh. Yeah. I can relate to that. It’s really interesting the way they consume stuff so differently to how we did. My son (14) is exactly the same with his PS. Could play Fortnight or FIFA online with his friends all day and all night but zero interest in any single player game. He goes to the cinema occasionally, watches films round his friends house but isn’t really into anything he watches. Not the way I was at his age. He couldn't care less about music. His sister (12) kind of likes music. In a very general way. But neither her nor any of her friends are passionate about any one artist. They just have passing interests in whichever tune is the soundtrack to the latest Tiktok dance. I think the way they listen to music means they probably won't ever be fans of any one artist. Couldn't be more different to their parents at the same age, whose whole sense of identity was wrapped up in their music of choice. Maybe that will change as they get older and Taylor Swift whining about her ex will connect with them at some deep, emotional level? It's not looking that way for now anyway.my 15 year old likes nothing at all. Has a slight interest in MCU, as he used to be my +1 but has now dumped me. He watches the odd one on Disney plus.
Doesnt have much interest in Man Utd although does still wear their tops. Even music I dont even know what he likes. Whatever it is he isnt a huge fan of anything. No TV shows and even video games. Outside of FIFA and Fortnight would never play a single player game like Last of Us etc...
I actually dont know what him and his mates even talk about
was it, seems to have been picked up by many as true, Sky for one and my local Greatest hits Radio station.That was just a snarky comment from his husband
They’re the perfect Glastonbury band I reckonAgain not a huge fan, I dont know enough of their stuff to think yes or know.
I think there is validity in your argument about demographics but Elton John is not a good example. He's kept very active over the decades and collaborating with younger stars on his old songs like Dua Lipa. Not just give permission for them to cover his songs. So that's how he reaches a new audience of young people.Highly doubt that honestly. There will be a split in the demographic which favors one side or the other after a certain age. You say people know more Elton songs but he's literally been around for much, much longer.
I'm 29 and I could barely name more than 2-3 Elton John songs but could easily tell you 10 Taylor Swift songs.
I guess I'll contrast that with my 12 year old girl, mad as shit BlackPink fan, verging on obsessive (tbf they are pretty good in places she's got good taste) mad for Marvel, Harry Potter etc, could tell you anything you'd want to know about eitherHeh.

I'd pay to see it.The Blossoms and Rick Astley doing an hour of The Smiths was a nice surprise.
Quite agree.Axl Rose is dreadful
Hmm I might have to rethink my plans for next year. What a pile of nothingnness.early odds for next year.
- Taylor Swift -1/1
- Coldplay - 6/4
- Dua Lipa - 2/1
- Rhianna - 4/1
- Sam Fender - 5/1
I saw Sam Fender last night and he was decent but he only played 15 songs and two of those were covers, there is zero chance he'll be a headliner next year. I'd not be confident in Dua Lipa having enough to headline yet either, needs at least one more album of hits. I'm fairly sure Emily Eavis said they've two female headliners booked for next year already, So Taylor and Rihanna could be decent shouts. I doubt they'll have Coldplay again so soon after the last time. My mind has been set on Springsteen but that may just be wishful thinking.Hmm I might have to rethink my plans for next year.

What a dead and soulless list. Rhianna is hot and that’s about it! God help Glasto 2024 if it’s hanging on that lot. Get the drugs in!early odds for next year.

Exactly, I have never gone to Glasto on the basis of any act / artist beyond my first visit in 1994 to see Orbital.Anyway, if you've been before, you'll know that the headliners are just a bonus, the real enjoyment is elsewhere!
You seem to know a hell of a lot more about new music than me (or, indeed, anyone on the caf!) so was looking forward to working through your list.
Well to be fair I'd be liable to get totally distracted by something else I'd unexpectedly wandered into and not make it anywhere near the headliner.I saw Sam Fender last night and he was decent but he only played 15 songs and two of those were covers, there is zero chance he'll be a headliner next year.

Reported for homophobia.You seem to know a hell of a lot more about new music than me so was looking forward to working through your list.
Ground to a halt on this one It's.... absolutely terrible? Sort of "Kylie does Eurovision" poppy nonsense. Is she well respected as a musician?
I unfortunately can't choose what songs they upload to YouTube, but I would say this is one of her weaker songs. Her set was incredible though, a lesson in not just performing, but putting on a show. She also called out that prick from the 1975 for being the racist piece of shit he is halfway through her set and then played a cover of Limp Bizkit's Break Stuff, which was simply iconic.You seem to know a hell of a lot more about new music than me (or, indeed, anyone on the caf!) so was looking forward to working through your list.

Lets be honest, they are running out of nostalgic acts to rely on at this point.Hmm I might have to rethink my plans for next year. What a pile of nothingnness.

Me too, but read today that Jonny Marr is really pissed about that set because he wasn’t informed. He’s apparently spoke to the relevant people and “sorted it” whatever that means. So I think any hopes of RA and the Blossoms touring with that are out of the window. But apparently Morrisey loved it so who knows.I'd pay to see it.
Yep. Her debut album from 2020:You seem to know a hell of a lot more about new music than me (or, indeed, anyone on the caf!) so was looking forward to working through your list.

That's weird. They toured together in 2021 performing Smiths songs, so not sure why he'd have an issue all of a sudden.Me too, but read today that Jonny Marr is really pissed about that set because he wasn’t informed.

Same here.I've enjoyed it more this year than I have in a while. Cat Stevens was the high point for me
Yeah, I loved that. They did a great job. Rick seemed like he was having the time of his life up there!The Blossoms and Rick Astley doing an hour of The Smiths was a nice surprise.
That's a lot more interesting. Video is gas tooYep. Her debut album from 2017:
The broad and buzz-y term hyperpop applies here. Thus this mix of Britney and Korn:
Taylor Swift would probably be alright but you'd have to pay me to watch the rest. Get Pulp headlining.What a dead and soulless list. Rhianna is hot and that’s about it! God help Glasto 2024 if it’s hanging on that lot. Get the drugs in!
I could see that being a great party. Saw them a few times all those years ago and it was always a great show. Fast forward 20 years and sprinkle some nostalgia on an already cool gig and you got magic.Taylor Swift would probably be alright but you'd have to pay me to watch the rest. Get Pulp headlining.
Apologies, he's an idiot who makes racially motivated jokes about Asian people on podcasts. My mistake.
he's an idiot but he's not a racist ffs
Yes, you're mistakenApologies, he's an idiot who makes racially motivated jokes about Asian people on podcasts. My mistake.
Those viewing figures are well deserved but not too surprising - with Elton, you get Elton (apart from that one song by the Chris Isaak/Lana Del Rey lovechild last night). With Macca, you are generally just waiting to get through the solo stuff before he does another Beatles song.Apparently 7.6 million watched Elton last night, McCartney’s Saturday performance on BBC One had a peak audience of 3.9 million last year.
A record 21.6m people, over a third of the UK population, watched the BBC’s Glastonbury TV coverage this year.
