Good job you’re drawn elsewhere then… there’s quite enough of that nonsense going on already.

I disagree.  Their best of "All Over The World" is almost solid gold.  Outside of Horace Wimp and possibly Wild West Hero (which I still love BTW) there's no flab in it at all.  If I had to pick a top 10 from this, Mr Blue Sky wouldn't even be in it.

Unrelated but the song "All Over The World" references Shard End, which is a pretty rough part of Birmingham. It's also where I was born and grew up.

I havnt seen four pyramid acts in the last four festivals put together, so the idea of four in a row is blowing my mind a bit 😄 i'll be one of those pyramid field people camped out for the day with rugs that MUST NOT BE STOOD ON and a little picnic basket with pastry delights and cans of stout 👍 that would be an incredible run!

I mean I posted it as an absolute pipedream (Stevie mainly) but theoretically it could happen - Stevie as legend would be pushing it.

Lisette Melendez could get 100k moving to this

I tend to agree. And there's nothing on the set list from Eldorado which is a great album.

I can't deny that I'm intrigued by where you're pulling these from.

Look again...

That said, Time is an all-time favourite of mine. The first album I ever properly got into and I still listen to it. Love it.

Daft Punk were also listening, no doubt.

I see Gary Glitter is up for release in February. A crowd rendition of "Do you wanna be in my gang?" on a Sunny Sunday afternoon would be epic.

More of a JP slot than Legend

If people expect the legend to provide "wall to wall bangers" it would be a very short shortlist!

Looking back through the "legends", Kylie is the only one with anything close to a banger

[CaledonianGonzo]

You're repeatedly on record as not knowing or understanding what a banger is.

Or

the contemporary definition of a banger is ridiculous

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's a contemporaneous term - there is no older definition.

Fair point

[Ayrshire Chris]

Annie Lennox, The Eurythmics,  would be tremendous. 

[The Nal]

Lena Fiagbe has never played the festival.

Time for 100k people to get dancing.

As a Eurythmics naysayer (and an Annie Lennox in ghastly solo form wide berth-giver) has there ever been a squeak re. them touring since the the rock hall of fame rumours last year?
