2023 legend slot

[TJGthree]

Mariah Carey is definitely someone who would fit the bill, and also is currently available. 

[Euphoricape]

John Lydon seems to be very active this year. Has a new P.I.L. song coming out and apparently could be doing Eurovision.. Would absolutely love to see him, definitely a legend.

Yeah but he's a lovable twat. His more recent political views aside, 100 percent top geezer.

I’d love to see Annie Lennox doing the legend. I’d walk on broken glass just to hear sweet dreams.

Adam Ant
OMD
Midge Ure
Kim Wilde
Jimmy Somerville

All those have had plenty of hits, but can you seriously imagine any of them sharing top billing with the likes of Elton, GnR etc?

The legend slot is normally filled by, yes, an act that's had hits, but must still be a big live draw - at least play arenas and the like of their own accord, rather than headlining a 80's cheese-fest bill.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You're suggesting Midge Ure isn't "Fourth Headliner" sized?

And while it donates money to charity, it's a tiny fraction of what it brings in, it's by no means a charitable event. And it doesn't need massive "profits" on paper as it doesn't have shareholders, and the people that own it own the land it takes place on, and pay themselves a huge fee from the festival to them for renting "the festival" the land. 

Maybe Madonna would agree to play one year if the Eavis' donate half their personal festival income to charity...

What's your source for this? 

I think half of what you claim is exaggerated at best.
