The Legends spot

[CaledonianGonzo]

Van is due to play after seeming to drop out a couple of years back, but he's too much of a torn faced bawbag to do Sunday teatime.

Neil Diamond only did it a few years ago.

[The Nal]

Van faxed in a Sunday teatime gig in 2005. He could do it. And he sounds a lot better these days.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Winslow's point is a valid one - it looks like someone pretty good is lined up, so need to muddy the waters.  And I say that as someone who had a ruddy blast the time I saw Neil Diamond.

That said....if they put someone like #RightBaz in the teatime slot and D-Rozzle is actually headlining West Holts later that night you would not hear me complaining.

Far from it, in fact.

[justperfect]

Diana would demand the glory of a pyramid appearance or nothing.

[The Nal]

Yeah a longer greatest hits special guest laden West Holts headliner would be better but she gets nowhere near the same amount of exposure from that. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I know, I know - it's a pipe dream.

Will have to 'settle' for Erasure instead.

Haven't gone through the whole thread but I would love Rod Stewart.

The punters at IOW will let you have him.

[Gnomicide]

But will he bring Bert with him?

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

if Rod hadn't already delivered a universally derided headline set he probably would be near the top of any shortlist for this, if he was willing to do it.

He's so banjaxed that I'm not even sure that's him singing on his new album.

It looks at first glance like she's wearing a codpiece.

Philipa?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I saw that in FOPP on Saturday.  It does seem to be an official release.

Wouldn't buy it, but you can bet I'd stream it.

In fact, I just checked Spotify and it's not on there - but it does appear to be there as a bonus album on something she released this year called Pure & Simple.

I did google this before posting and saw that he played in 2002, a year I didn't go.  Am a bit surprised at the set being universally derided, but then I guess so were Gorillaz and U2 and I enjoyed both of them….

Aerosmith might be fun too, in the Motörhead/ZZ Top slot.

Aerosmith are playing their last ever UK show at Download. So don't expect the to do Glasto

[Badlands]

Saw Reg last night tinkling his ivories at the local enormodome. Whilst he's never likely to take the gig, he'd be perfect fodder for the spot.

Saw him at Radio 2 Festival in Hyde Park in September. Really enjoyed it. Still seems to put everything into it.

I’d give him a healthy 7 toupees out of 10. Not really much of a fan and tagged along with the missus and family out of curiosity more than anything but I had a canny night. His band seemed tight enough and he’s got some stonkers in his set. Though it must be said he’s got some stinkers as well.

[Hugh Jass]

Saw Reg last year on his annual jaunt around the UK's provincial football stadia. He's still got it.

Cher a great shout
