It's also worth noting that Kylie's career in the charts spans 4 decades (1980's - 2010's), while the Spice Girls' spans 4 years (1996-2000).

I'd also point out that Kylie had previous unfinished business with the Festival which added to the overall package.

I'm pretty confident in saying that if she hadn't been booked for 2005, or if she'd not been forced to pull out through cancer, then she wouldn't have been given that position in 2019. She probably would have got the nod eventually, but not for at least another 10 years.

George Michael is the legend slot that got away, definitely. 

He would have packed out the entire field.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Agreed - George Michael would have been a solid gold classic.

+1 for Billy Joel.  Would be top bombing, just think of the setlist possibilities...

My Life
An Innocent Man
Movin' Out
New York State Of Mind
She's Always A Woman
River Of Dreams
Scenes From An Italian Restaurant
Piano Man
We Didn't Start the Fire
Uptown Girl
Still Rock & Roll To Me

Even though it wont happen - Abba would be the one.

[willgooneday]

Maybe far too recent but Bruno Mars? Or would he headline?

Vienna. Fucking Vienna.

Piano man on the pyramid would be unreal.  Does Joel often come round these ways?

Good point. I also forgot Tell Her About It.

Would be the perfect Legends slot, an hour of wall to wall killer and no filler.

No idea tbh. Also got no idea what he's like in terms of ego, perception of Glastonbury and all that good stuff. But it's not necessarily one that anyone would have expected Diana Ross to be up for a few years ago, so who knows?

Was just thinking the same. He would have been epic. 

[The Red Telephone]

Possible?

Aerosmith, Spice Girls or Cher for next year i think. Could very much see Cher or Spice girls in the Legends, with Taylor headlining the same day.

Would LOVE Billy Joel

What about someone like Andrea Bocelli? Never see him as a name mentioned! Imagine "Time to say Goodbye" being belted out 

Others:

Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks (not sure on this one, as i think they will always hold out hope for full FM), Celine Dion, Roger Waters, Madonna (more likely full headline), Eagles (again headline more likely), Sting/ The Police, Ozzy, Bon Jovi, Phil Collins/ Genesis, ABBA

Got LOADS to keep them stocked for the next few years. 

 

Or it will be Coldplay.... 😬

Neil’s been to work.

The odd time and he plays stadiums. Cant see him playing a tacky legends slot.

Hardly a surprising list on the (SR) though. I could have come wit that lot...

Would be a headliner surely? One of the last of those sorts of headliners on the cards. 

His songs are still pretty well regarded by younger folk into their 20s.

And put stages, days, and even times on most of them..

Would love this!

[Obiginnaw]

Have we ruled out Rick Astley? Might not quite be big enough but Christ how many people will go simply for NGGYU ? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

More of an Avalon-style booking.

[willgooneday]

Banarama?

He’s big mates with macca and the boss so if anyone can convince him it’s a good gig it’s them two.
