I am surprised that people think she wont draw the crowd of lionel? I assumed she was a much bigger draw.

Exactly my thoughts. I love them both from my parents listening to them while I was growing up. But Supremes bigger than Commodores and Diana bigger than Lionel. She'll easy get the same size crowd and I'd be surprised if it's not bigger. Imagine the flash mobs going round for Chain Reaction like they did for Dancing on the Ceiling!!!

That's global vs. just the UK.

Maybe I'm wrong....dunno.  I was wrong about the size of Lionel Richie's crowd.

Where's @dnasrb with all the Diana stats?

Theatre and Circus ususally post a dance up for a legends slot tune, wonder what'll be this year ?

Kylie definitely had a major crowd crust, I have just to the right of the right hand sound stage and had room to dance.

Just for demographics, my mates and me are 26-29 year olds and we are all dead excited, more so for Miss Ross than Kylie.

I've never heard this term before, big fan.

This is my absolute dream of a legend announcement... we were so disappointed when the rumours around Diana being legend in 2017 were untrue, she was the hubbies art project many moons ago when he did O level art!  And it's an absolutely brilliant booking for the big 50.... now just to get a ticket :o(

Generally associated with Levellers gigs

I am dead excited for Diana - so many classics, great booking!

I have a rather fetching disco number I actually bought on the farm in Oxfam. This doesn't stop me looking for something even more bling and better. Gonna be legendary! ?

I’d say Taylor playing Sunday is the bigger risk to Elton. I can’t imagine him in any other slot. 

Not even Saturday night? It’s alright for fighting so surely it’s alright for Elton.

Thanks for the Chain Reaction reassurance - it was a number 1 in the UK, Ireland and Australia and a number 95 smash in the US.

That's kinda what I was thinking. She was always going to play that song anyway.

I think the legend slot is always great. Except ELO. They were terrible

Lionel still the best set I've ever seen at glasto, was torture for me having to watch kylie on TV last year

ELO were fantastic, it’s the crowd that were awful.

[glastofun]

Also, Love Hangover! The full 8 minute version. Now that is a tune!

Baby Love.

[gigpusher]

I have to be there for this!! I love The Supremes and Diana Ross. I have said before that I avoid the legends slot unless it's some I really like but they have come up trumps this year. 

Please, please, re-sale!!!!

Oh dear, I can imagine my packing this year with cocktail dress netting from here to the acoustic stage ,

[cdm22]

One thing's for sure, Chain Reaction has been playing over and over again in my head since 8 this morning! 

[doogie]

Seems she's got a new album out in 2020

That ice cream guy must have made a fortune this year.

I think they thought it might be the end of the road after the plastic bottle ban. Ohhhh no...

[Earth_pig]

I think it will be great! Maybe not as slick as kylie but good fun.

 

I was looking at her setlists and it doesn't look like she has been playing chain reaction at her shows?
