The best artist(s) to never have played Glastonbury?

[Ted Dansons Wig]

GG Allinn

....coming on to duet with Taylor Swift

[beodeejay]

Rory Gallagher.

[Space Shanty]

Rory Gallagher.

Absolutely.

He would have been incredible.

Don't think there's anyone else I'd rather have seen live more than Rory

GG Allin always reminds me of this scene from the CKY DVD's where Chad Ginsburg from CKY (the band) gets drunk & visits his grave.

[ErnestWorthing]

The beatles. I win.

Sorry to resurrect an oldish thread but it only occurred to me today that Carole King has never played Glastonbury, which seems to be a bit of an oversight.

I know she's not the most prolific performer but she was on the road in Oz as recently as 2013 and pops up every now and again for one-off performances. She still got a good voice on her and the musical 'Beautiful', about her life, has just headed over to the UK from Broadway, so there is also clearly still some interest in her.

How do we persuade the Eavis' to get her booked for the legends slot next year? When it comes to songwriting, she is clearly a living legend.

Nice little BBC4 programme here if anyone's interested.

It has to be them unless I am unaware of a lower slot at some point or are being thick.

Green Day? Maybe. See them stuck to R&L.

Not to say they shouldn't.

I don't think they should though.

[Justiceforcedave]

I kind of acidently walked around on their stage a bit.

One of my favourite sets of 2013! So good.....although I'm not sure where Murph was?

This needs to happen at Glastonbury this year!

[Tdiz]

Taylor Swift

[Martin Ashford]

Grateful Dead. No band epitomised the spirit of the festival better than the Dead. No wonder they were always desired and it's still a crying shame they never did it.

[Gnomicide]

Dumpy's Rusty Nuts

I'm only happy when I'm riding me 'og!!

I think you've nailed this thread on the head. Unfortunately they seem a little money orientated and not willing to cross the Atlantic.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Grateful Breadheads

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Erm, surely If they were that money grabbing they'd have taken the 3 million dollars Bonnaroo offered them to headline...

Her and James Taylor, that tour they did the other year looked fucking amazing. I'd bawl like a baby.
