Yes, the B-52s with their one top ten hit from 30+ years ago are exactly the stuff the legend slot is all about...

Next year Chesney Hawkes...

They've got some cracking tunes...

B52s in the Pyramid and I'll be all over it - but they're not a top row name.

Imagine getting to see Cher and Reg on the same day. It'd be way too wild. The whole place would be hyper.

That would be bloody amazing

You'd still get folk on here saying it was weak and stuck in the past though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It'd be extraordinary.

But even Elton and Duran Duran on the same day would be all time larks.

[giantkatestacks]

Duran would be exceptional.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Actually, this reinforces that for me  and on paper Reg is the best Sunday night headliner since Stevie 13 years ago.

Any recommendations on where to start with Duran Duran as a newbie? 

Imagine it’s one of those bands where I’ll know the songs without realising it was them

They're a singles band. You can't go wrong with the compilations. 'Greatest' is pretty definitive.

Is there Duran Duran info??

If you ignore the fact that Kendrick headlined last year, then yeah sure.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I did ignore it.

[nikkic]

Kendrick was great, in fact it’s the best set I’ve ever seen. 

But Reg is up there with The Stones and Stevie Wonder as all-timer bookings. 

I think only Madonna falls into that same category of those who are left to do it. Prince obviously would have been too.

Would love B52's. Maybe not legend slot but if it's a farewell tour somewhere on the farm would be immense. 

Speaking of 80's bands how about A-HA? 

B52s would be very nice. Dunno about legend but maybe just before or in that Friday afternoon position Sheryl Crow/Crowded House have played?

Don’t think so. We’re all in the dark.

And twice as good as that if they managed to get Duran Duran.

Definitely not Legend slot, not sure how big a crowd they’d get so I think you’re right. I saw them, maybe their last UK tour, and it was a bit uneven I thought, so can’t see them getting a prominent slot.

Belinda Carlisle maybe ?

[Jose Pose]

Are the B52s the one the Flintstones soundtrack?

Billy Ocean has 5 (maybe 6 at a push) certifiable we’ll know bangers, but then he’s probably need a fair bit of padding in a set. It’s weird because he just doesn’t seem like a big enough/fashionable name, but he’s certainly got as many bangers as someone like Dolly.
