Glastonbury 2023 Music Chat

Arctic Monkeys and Guns N' Roses will top the bill at this year's Glastonbury Festival, organisers have announced.

The rock bands join previously-announced headliner Sir Elton John, who will play the last UK show of his farewell tour at Worthy Farm in June.

Other acts on the line-up include Lizzo, Lana Del Rey, Lil Nas X, Manic Street Preachers, Wizkid and Blondie.

Yusuf, also known as Cat Stevens, will play the "legend slot", previously occupied by Kylie and Dolly Parton.

Headliners are probably worthy but almost everything below is a B grade. Need some bigger names on there.

Sir Elton was absolutely fantastic! Hit after hit. One of the best Glastonbury performances I've seen. What a way to bow out.

Banger after banger with Elton so one of the best headline sets in last decade comfortably.

Cat Stevens was the usual perfectly placed afternoon sing-a-long and hopefully Blondie sounded a bit better actually at the venue than on tv but again Debbie Harry is even older than Elton John.

Elton John's set was great. Easily one of the best gigs I've seen on live TV.

My friend went to see him in Glasgow a week before Glastonbury and said she had doubts beforehand but was blown away by how good he sounded.

Not an Elton John fan by any stretch of the imagination but thought he was excellent last night.

I watched a few acts over the weekend. I thought Arctic Monkeys were very good and I look forward to exploring one or two of their albums I haven't listened to. Elton was great. As was Cat Stevens.

I have tried to find Lana Del Rey truncated set on i-Player but other than a couple of tracks she is nowhere to be seen which is strange.

Guns n Roses were terrible and there were some fantastic moments during the Lewis Capaldi set where he lost his voice and was visibly struggling but the crowd helped him complete his set.

Saw Elton the week before Glastonbury. He was excellent. His Glastonbury show looked just as good from the bits I caught on TV.
