Celine’s dates make her look like an early contender but I can’t help but think Kylie, Diana, Celine all in succession might be a bit optimistic? Surely we are due a bloke/band eventually?

Celine would make me incredibly happy but I question when the festival will shake it up a bit. One more in line with the ELO booking?

You mean more like the least successful booking of the last decade?

No just that while the legendary female pop stars streak is extremely impressive it’s not exactly sustainable as there isn’t an unlimited source of them left. I just wonder if we are due a year where the legend isn’t exactly “massive massive”.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Probably - the pool isn’t exactly endless, particularly with Elton now firmly out of it and in the headliner camp.

Manilow and Cliff are probably their best two remaining options.  Carole King has the hits but it would be more of a low key Paul Simon-esque set than a party vibe.

(I've not counted but I think more men have done it than women overall).

I think you’re over thinking it, especially with legends as you don’t know how long they’ll be around for. If Celine Dion is available they’ll book her regardless of who went before.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Celine would be a reasonable option, but she's pretty young still (same age as Kylie) and would be a fair bit more divisive than Kylie given she's associated more with overwrought ballads than fun times.

Hava Nagila to finish (one for the obscure Carrot stand up routine fans there)

Carole King!

It’s a shame she’s a touch averse to playing live. If she’s half as good as she was in Hyde Park in 2016 she’d be great. But looking at set list she’s not done a full length show since.

Baz would be my vote as well. 

[Gnomicide]

Celine Dion is just Jane Mcdonald with a bigger budget.

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Personally I'd hate it, but Cher has to be in with a shout. 

Manilow would be the perfect one, I think. The teatime slot has taken on a life of it's own in recent years. Fancy dress, party atmosphere and a huge crowd has become a staple for that slot, arguably since Dolly. Manilow and Cher fit the bill perfectly in that sense.

[Losing my hair]

Kate Bush please.

[Slugy]

Has to be Hall & Oates, wall to wall bangers.

 

Or let Roddy Stewart have another crack at it, if he would take it ofc.

[nikkic]

Bangers a plenty 

[Haan]

weird al, he has a movie coming out

[Hugh Jass II]

This is the setlist we deserve:

• Wild Boys
• Planet Earth
• The Reflex
• Ordinary World
• Notorious
• Save A Prayer
• Rio
• Girls On Film
• View To A Kill
• Hungry Like The Wolf

Pad it out with a couple of new ones or deeper cuts and you have an all timer.

Bring back Stevie Wonder!

Apart from Elton John, I can't think of another true legend more worthy.

[Nelson100]

As it looks like Aerosmith are out for this year it would be great to get them into the legend slot in 2023.

+1 for Stevie returning one year. His set in 2010 is actually one I’m pretty sad I wasn’t at. I can’t see it as likely but it’s one I would absolute love to happen.
