2023 legend slot

[Olshansky]

Do we think Duran Duran could show up elsewhere than the legend slot?

Did someone say En Vogue are in the frame now? 😄

From the sounds of things they only want to play if they get a big slot, so presumably headliner, or possibly Sunday legend, so if they’re not doing either of those slots this year then it’s probably safe to assume they’re not playing.

A shame.  I could see them headlining West Holts, maybe opposite GNR.  Split the 80s crowd

Shania Twain just said on the John Bishop Show that Glastonbury is on her bucket list and she's been asked before, but just hasn't been able to make it work yet. 2024?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah it's coming then at some point.

Not legends slot but has Seal ever done Glasto? Big American tour ending start of June, rereleasing his debut album. Sunday Afternoon TV slot?

Sunday headliner is Elton John, therefore the Legend Slot could be someone that's done a collab with Elton before, so Gary Barlow?

Take That have their own dates this summer. No chance Barlow would take on such a massive gig solo in the midst of that.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Everyone remembers the other great Sunday Headline / Legend Slot collaborations like The Cure and Kylie Minogue

Dammit. Please let me live in hope.

Can somebody catch me up? Do we have any idea who this could be, beyond the fact that Rod’s dates sort of fit? 

Yusaf I think is a possible.

Really hope so. Still the best male artist’s voice I’ve ever heard live.

Seal hasn't done it, but I wonder if people here know what links him to duran duran? Seal came to fame with Adam tinley, 'adamski', and Adam's brother known as tinley pruduced and  was a sometime member of duran duran.

Hes just posted this - recent footage from last year and he sounds great

But.....well.....there are some fucking caveats

Are we saying The Verve were ever or never? I'm confused, sorry!

As CalGon interpreted it.

My communication skills leave a bit to be desired at times.  I think they used to be better - but (in all seriousness) I can't actually remember!  I tend to blame some tablets I take every day, but it's conceivable that my misspent youth/adulthood may have played a part 🙄

Ah, thank you - my apologies!

Yep I would say so and that could be a lot of fun.

That would be an excellent pick. Saw her at a Radio 2 thing a few years ago, and it was something of a hoot.

Just to change the direction of the thread a little...who could be a realistic alternative to be programmed against Rod?

Last year we had Fontaines on Other, Nubya Garcia/Snarky Pup on West Holts, Clairo/Amyl and the Sniffers on JP and Caroline Polachek on the Park. 

[Zoo Music Girl]

Does Seal do Killer by Adamski in his set? Would love to see that. Would be cool to see him either way actually.

I mainly listen to rock/metal and hip hop - take that with Robbie is the best gig I have ever been too!

That line up alone would suggest there’s not much thought into who goes against the legend slot. 

None of those would be deemed a big enough draw when up against DiRo.

That's what worries me.
