Because We Want To on the P would be iconic and it’d have the added bonus of sending Lawrence Fox into a meltdown. What's she going to do for the other 70 minutes?

Now then son, I had my very first "Glastonbury moment" to Jeff Lynne when I first went in 2016. I therefore am obliged to defend him.

I expect once it's released it'll be the next Rocketman/Bohemian Rhapsody and she'll be very on trend and announcing huge tour runs. A legend slot would fit in with that sort of retrospective career vibe. I can't see her doing the legends slot as part of a normal album/tour cycle as she's normally very much in to looking forward not back. As if we are talking about Madge like she isn't a headliner.

NorthernSoul52 Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Madonna goes to the top of the Pyramid or the Legends slot, but even then, the latter would be a hard sell for her, I imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's fair. I do think the legends slot is essentially a fourth headliner at this point (see the poster) and certainly the slot that attracts the most viewers on BBC I think? But like you say that might be a hard sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to be sharing secret content like the 2022 line up poster. Hehe. I just meant the way they bill the legend on the top of the poster, I think that started in 2019? It must help them with booking people for that slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't recall Jeff Lynne's ELO getting the treatment for example. Then again, Kylie Minogue and Diana Ross arguably among the biggest they've had with international appeal.

The sentimental nostalgia of the Legend Slot is the polar opposite of her self image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 Maybe this has been covered already, but just heard on the radio that apparently the Eavi have voiced interest in getting Billy Joel for the legends slot before he packs it in. This based off anything or is this just pure speculation being presented as fact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balti-pie Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 i saw Billy Ocean at a Hop Farm festival in Kent, and he was bloody great. This might be about a decade ago (ish) but yeah, hes really engaging, has a pile of bangers, and would be very up for the kind of camp atmos that sunday afternoon entails. If Billy Joel doesnt do it, id be very content with Billy Ocean, of all the other Billies (Piper can naff off, obvs) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
