2023 legend slot

[CaledonianGonzo]

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:

Don't care.  This would be ace!

First gig I've noticed booked for the renovated Wolves Civic. Been a long time.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but Kylie was announced early, before other gigs (like Werchter) got out. Diana Ross, was she originally announced around her 2020 tour poster? Whoever it is this year might not have any dates listed around the festival, so they don't need to break the seal. Could be Duran Duran, could be Mariah given she's willing to accept a slot other than the top of the bill, as per that vegas lineup.

Maria Carey would make a lot of sense, in the same way I became convinced it was Stevie Nicks. But she’s definitely got that couldn’t place her anywhere else on the bill aspect about her.

DiRo had a tour announced with a GSH. Can't remember I Kylie was a one off. 

Both were pre Christmas announcements though. Kylie in December, DiRo in Oct for 2020 and Nov for 2022.

Would she do it?

Doesnt seem one for low fees or non headline slots regardless of how they dress it up.

I’ve no idea, probably not, she’s just one of only very few bookings that if they were announced they’d have me thinking, yeah that makes a lot of sense.

As with my referee to Stevie, I was convinced it was her and then it obviously wasn’t, so it’s likely to be the same thing.

She didn't take top billing at lovers and friends. Surprisingly she is below Missy Elliott

He last played as sub-headliner in 2015, he does always play the more popular material from his solo era as well as a couple of Jam and Style Council numbers, but he definitely doesn't have the "play the hits" mentality needed for the legend slot. 

I know, just wishful thinkng.

It's one of those weird LV day festivals where most people show up for 30 minutes, wouldn't read too far into it - but Missy is still big!

Booking Pulp for that slot would be no different to them calling Primal Scream or the Manics in future years.

There are enough slots for these sort of acts as it is.

Pulp are a weird one as while musically/tonally they don't fit the slot, Jarvis himself sort of does - his presenting work and such post-Pulp have turned him into something of a national treasure.

She'd be fab and a real legend.

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

Pulp are a little bit more of a rarity with decades between their tours, Manics and Primal Scream have basically not stopped doing annual gigs and festivals since the 90s.

But yeah otherwise agree, doesn't seem quite right when they're a good fit for any number of slots across the festival.

That’s called a nightmare.

I'm still hanging on for Ozzy. 😁

His last date is a home game, Birmingham 24th June. 

Nobody can say that he isn't a legend. 

[The Nal]

Ten Sharp just released a greatest hits. 

100k in tears at this.

Again it'll be a miracle if any shows go ahead, he can barely stand up, Zakk Wylde even double-booked himself for a now-cancelled Pantera show

How about Billy Idol? 

I don't know if he's legendy enough but I'd love to see him there in some capacity. He has the tunes, and certainly has the stage presence for a great set. He'll have to steel back the sneer from Yungblud though...

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

I do hope Ozzy shows up somewhere on the bill...I'd be there. Don't think it'll be legends though.

I also think Mariah Carey would be a a good candidate for the legend slot, and she still sounds flame 😊

I’d love to see some of the reactions for a Sunday afternoon Pyramid crowd to Panterra coming on and opening with Fucking Hostile! 

[dreams_burn_down]

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