2023 legend slot

[WestCountryGirl]

Billy Ocean for the legends slot. Not a household name with the youths but his set would be stacked with bangers**.

(**Having said that, I just looked at his setlists and it appears that he does NOT play Red Light Spells Danger at every show, and that is a travesty.)

Mariah would take one look at the fee on her phone in the bath and delete the email without even responding.

Hard truth. If Glastonbury can’t afford Madonna, Carey is a pipe dream.

Previously I'd have said she's a bit too mellow for what the slot is now, but if they're really struggling she's active in the US and has the GSH:

I WOULD LOVE THIS. She sang so many bangers

Even setting aside their lack of suitability for Glasto, sounds like Pantera won’t be playing many festivals…

Cant blame em really. I used to love Pantera as a lad, but Phil is such a monumental fucking idiot i cant help but go off them. I'm interested in the reunion from a musical point of view (Zakk Wylde replacing Dimebag is a stroke of genius) but i wont be paying for a ticket, im not giving money to Phil under any circumstances. I think them being dropped off festival bills is an appropriate course of action.

Really? If you’ve got that in your arsenal you use it at every opportunity, surely? One of the best songs ever.

Dionne Warwick would be perfect for it. Might not have the same appeal as Kylie/DiRo etc but such a great catalogue of songs that almost everyone would know. Could be wonderful.

Could Pantera do it?

 

What?! You lot started it.

Already being cancelled across Europe for Phil Anselmo being a massive racist!

Billy Idol is supporting Iggy Pop as part of Generation Sex in early July. 

I tried googling if they had more dates but some of the results I was getting for Generation Sex Tour Europe were not the sort of thing I wanted to click on.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Generation Sex?  That's pretty edgy though.

Billy Ocean tracks are always on my Tik Tok feed with people dancing in supermarkets etc so he could be more popular than we think. I reckon he has six 'bangers' so with a couple of fillers he could do it.

Love to see Erasure do the teatime slot. A lovely sunny afternoon on the pyramid field, listening to Blue Savannah.

Don't be like that, @Crazyfool01!  You could easily reprogram your screens to says STEPS instead of ELTON!

Would love this so much. Or just stick them on the Pyramid anyway if they don't quite have the name recognition for this slot.

I'd love Erasure to play one year, i'm sure I read an article from Andy Bell saying that they've never been asked. Seem's very odd given their back catalogue, and lots of pop acts getting the nod on the farm these days!

[TheGoodWillOut]

Get the tartan out shangalangsters....It's Shawaddywaddy

[fullfathom5]

Eurythmics / Pulp / Duran Duran ???

 

 

[Pipine]

It does seem odd Erasure haven’t played, they have a huge back catalogue of hits, they’ve always been excellent fun live and they’re still putting out new music.. some of the new tunes are really good. A greatest hits set would go down a storm surely.

Ringo can do it, be a laugh!

I like this angle. If there literally wasn't a suitable act to fill the spot this year and Glasto were scraping the bottom of the barrel for someone, who would you pick? 

 

Immediate edit : just realised this is pretty much what the thread has been doing for the last few months.

To be fair to yer Erasures, they've had more hits than the 2 I remember.

But they're not big enough for the Legends slot.

They need a slot on the farm though. They'd be amazing!!

[ProperTea]

What are the chances that they just sack this off in 2023 and don't have a legend/someone in the 'tea time' slot? I don't think we've ever been this in the dark..
