Shiny silver jacket for the win

I know very little about Duran Duran. How do they stack up in terms of size? Would they be one of the bigger legend slots or on the smaller side?

They're a lot of fun, and John Taylor is one of the most proficient bass players in the UK at the moment, giving them a funky edge.

Someone on another forum I'm on says that Cat Stevens and Blondie are playing. They thought that Blondie would be Sunday teatime, but I'd imagine it's Cat Stevens if it's between those two....

Cat Stevens would be epic. Seems like he wants to as well…

He'd Be one of Michael's most wanted.

Rod's version of First Cut Is The Deepest is the one we want to hear.

[Freddyflintstonree]

So from Rod is a lock last week, we now have:

Rod

Blondie

Duran Duran

Cat Stevens 

All in the frame? 😂

And one of mine, nice sunny afternoon on the pyramid field with cat/yusaf reeling off hit after hit. Nice.

The Yusufster would certainly be a solid booking for the 'Waahhhh - too many people are enjoying themselves at the Legend Slot and I don't like it' opinion havers.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Cat Stevens Scores On The Doors

Pros

Fits the Radio 2 Sunday Soothers aspect of the slot

Decent smattering of classic jams

He's a performer that should definitely be up on El Pointo in some context

Hopefully still has the pipes

Cons

No party bangers

A few guaranteed lulls

Vibe will be circa the Paul Simon level

May repeat his call for the fatwa on Salman Rushdie

If anything not enough acts call for Fatwa on the main stages.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Arctic Monkeys audience will be doing it towards the stage after the 6th or 7th mood piece from off of The Car.

Nah, they're gonna do one from The Car, one from TBHC, and sandwich the whole of AM in between.

Yeah, amazing how this myth gets perpetually repeated in here, they play hardly any songs from the last two albums.

Hell no. I'll be giving that a mega swerve.

If anything they don’t play enough from those two albums.

Like CalGon they’ve been recycling the same material since 2013.

(Sorry CalGon that was too perfect a line not to use)

"Holding out for the right slot" sounds like Duran Duran want Pyramid headliner or Legend status, or possibly even just the former.

Wouldn't book them to top the Pyramid with all of the other acts available on-hand, but would have them as a legend. Believe their US run with Chic and Bastille wraps up just the week before, so they'd be tour-drilled, undoubtedly.

1 The Wild Boys
2 Hungry Like the Wolf
3 Notorious
4 A View to a Kill
5 Union of the Snake
6 Come Undone
7 Ordinary World
8 Planet Earth
9 The Reflex
10 White Lines (Don't Don't Do It)
11 Girls on Film
12 Save a Prayer
13 Rio

i take it as the former, if they've not been they might not be aware of the legends slot.
