It's an important festival with a rich history, but I believe that even a really weak Gn'R show won't do that much damage if at all to ticket sales. Bingo. Not trying to be disrespectful, but no one outside England cares about Glasto. Seen some folks on here suggesting this could be “one of their biggest gigs ever” and that is the absolute wildest take I’ve seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMachine Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Will say it again - this gig will be late-stage career defining in the same way their appearance at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert was. Massive night for them tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In every way. The attendence numbers, the mainstream media coverage here, the worldwide music press, it's unquestionably one of the most respected festivals by musicians. It may not be as revered by fans or people in other countries, but in a music industry sense, there is no more important or prestigious festival than Glasto. Therefore it is one of their biggest gigs ever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the band know it, musicians know it (hence why the Foo Fighters are currently playing a surprise set), music fans know it, a d anyone looking at the facts and figures around capacity knows it......but that won't stop some people denying it. No idea why! Annoyed they're not there maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure...but there's a lot of stuff out there that shows it has a big effect on artists...especially if it's a set for the ages... There will be a massive press wave, good, bad, ugly, whatever....I think some underestimate this....it'll get a lot of people googling "who are guns n roses" - believe it! A lot of people will remember them tomorrow, be there for them but also discover their music for the first time tomorrow... The UK is known as one of the if not thee best music country, look what's been produced here...it's a friggen big deal, I can't believe they're actually doing it, I'm really pumped. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/billie-eilish-diana-ross-olivia-rodrigo-sam-fender-and-more-reap-glastonbury-rewards-as-they-see-huge-uplift__36757/ https://www.musicweek.com/media/read/pyramid-scheme-glastonbury-delivers-big-sales-boost-for-headliners/076716 Edited June 23, 2023 by colonizedmind 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see our boys side stage and hopefully they are there to negotiate that Dave cameo tomorrow! Also lovely tribute to Taylor too...

When you've got foo fighters doing a 'secret set', a band that normally easily headlines festivals in their own right, happy to do a set in this position in itself should tell you why it's so big. It's equally as important as coachella, rock in rio, etc... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
