Lionel Richie is the Sunday Legend then folks!

Oh, what a feeling, when I'm dancing on the, er, mud...

[showmethestones]

Anybody dancing on the ceiling about this news?

[ItsBadForYa]

I could help but smile when I heard the news.

Glastonbury is generally a place where not a single fuck is given, and no more is this apparent than at the Sunday Legends slot.

How many faces are going to be touched-up for "hello"

[Big Vern]

Fits the Sunday legend slot perfectly! He was in The Commodores ffs! Over 100m records sold, making him up there as one of the biggest selling artists of all time and we get him on a lazy Sunday afternoon!

He's got the hits, what more do you want! Bring on the sun!

Seriously underwhelmed by this mind. I'd have preferred Smokey any day.

[A Guy Called Matt]

A damn good start........................ all night long, all night

[glasto-worker]

well I will not be rushing down to see him - waste of space

[ColdSideofthePillow]

Bringing along a clay head... For effect

[Amy Lawn]

Well that came out of nowhere!

[Beaver89]

News out of nowhere and so so happy about it. The other rumours were great but great to be blindsided by something equally awesome

[JoBalls]

This is an excellent choice for Sunday Legend in my opinion. I'll be there basking in the glory of it all!

[Keithy]

I'll forever have Vic and Bob in my mind when I think of Lionel Richie. Dancing on a Sealink

Fits the legends slot , yep I'm cool with that. I grew up with my parents playingMr . richtea in the car on the way to Cornwall, so for the nostalgia I'll be there :-)

Love a sideswipe announcement for a Sunday afternoon :-)

[H.M.V]

Not my cup of tea!

[bucko]

i've got a vision of a very large paper mache head on top of the pyramid with dry ice pumping out from its ears.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Perfect sunday legend.

Bit cheesy with tunes people know.

[Bisque]

I'm happy with this! I'm not going to be able to get The Sealink version out of my head all even now.

[justperfect]

Is anybody else curious of the timing of this announcement.

[Amy Lawn]

Easy like the Sunday afternoon legend's slot.

[kalifire]

Wow, didn't expect that! Lionel comes under a 'great fit - not sure if I'll see him, though' category. He's certainly got great stage presence, feeds off the energy brilliantly and has the hits. His legendary status is unquestionable, but there'll need to be no clashes.

are the local sunday tickets still on sale, it might be to help them sell.

A kick in the teeth for #Team Barry

I dunno if that's a gold standard booking.
