Glastonbury Line-up 2023

The Hu!

I find it slightly disturbing that I've heard of so many of the acts on there. 

Also: Sniff and the Tears. If their setlist reflects their recorded output it will be several versions of Driver's Seat interspersed with other songs that no one can quite remember.

They're absolutely brilliant!  You won't see anything else like them.

My eldest daughter (12) is quite excited about it. 

She was taking the piss out of me, as I was saying it’s the first year I can remember where there are more acts whom I don’t recognise the name of, than do. 

Says it’s a true sign of me getting old. I’m inclined to agree. 

I really enjoyed watching some of the highlights from last year. Will do the same this year and hopefully find some new stuff I like.

It will be interesting to see how the operatically trained singer Caroline Polachek performs live, as she's got the goods vocally, but her recorded music has high production values due to the nature of the genre. I've heard her sing live while playing the piano in a studio setting, and she sounds great.

The problem with Glastonbury is there are not enough stages

…and they definitely need more bands at Download.

I don't often watch it so I have a question - will the Avalon Stage make it onto the telly?

I'd quite like to see Vintage Trouble.

BBC website says 'Pyramid, Other, West Holts, Woodsies and Park stages.'

In theory the roaming cameras could catch bits of other stages I guess but as they won't have clearances agreed to show stuff in practice it will be limited to people in wacky outfits and/or gurning at the camera. They also have the campfire performances so conceivably VT might rock up a short unplugged set but I feel that's unlikely.

I haven't been since the mid 90's. Just looked through the line up and it looks like too much walking for me. Acts I would like to see there this year if I could be teleported between them, and time travel existed are, in no particular order -

Texas

Guns And Roses

Elton John

Steve Earle

Lana Del Ray

The War On Drugs

Queens Of The Stone Age

Rick Astley

The Teskey Brothers

Richard Thompson

Badly Drawn Boy

The Arctic Monkeys

The Damned

Neville Staples

Beans On Toast

Billy Bragg

Yusuf

edited to reflect that I'd put Elton John twice. I should've put Steve Earle twice

If anyone goes could they look for my hat which I lost in 2005. It was blue. 

Holey cap, 2005 was 18 years ago...

Really looking forward to this as I don't have much on this weekend. Hopefully most big acts have full sets live or on demand.

I've been watching some of the past hilights on BBC2. Their idea of a hilight seems to be the cheesiest, most wince inducing moments of the last 20 years. But I suppose it just reinforces the idea that once you are there you can create your own festival and that the headliners aren't the be all and end all. 
Just noticed that The Chicks are on the main stage and we might see them live at some point so hopefully that'll be shown.

I had no idea who that was in the listings. I’d watch them but as I won’t be there and it’s not a filmed stage I probably can’t.
