Thinking like this is maybe not what the legend slot is. Its not meant to be album in full

glasto don’t really do album in full slots full stop i swear?

I’ve only seen one album in full at a festival and it was muse doing origin of symmetry at Leeds

Primal Scream did it on the other stage in 2011.

Some obvious exceptions here, but plenty to keep them going for a while:

(obviously gets somewhat tenuous as you move down the list as well)

 

Some excellent choices in that list!  This entire thread must generate some mirth around the worthy farm breakfast table!

Would Diana Ross have been on the radar in February last year, if she hadn't already been announced? (sorry too lazy to look up if she was touring or anything) 

[Gnomicide]

Reviving thew eFests naming a time slot after someone who did it once and sticking to it tradition, Alanis could do the Sheryl Crow slot rather than the Legend slot.

Yeah, she was touring with a GSH.

[Jose Pose]

She had the jubilee amongst other things 

[CaledonianGonzo]

She was also announced for 2020

That show was mint. Shame they've not release a good album since Black Holes.

Allow me to be the first to suggest GnR for legend slot.

Seriously though, whenever I see a top four of Elton, GnR, AM and Rod written down it scans so badly, feels way off the mark to me.

[BenG92]

I've only really skimmed the thread, people seem WAY too sure on Rod. Do we have some concrete info that I missed?

Female legend seems far more likely if we do have to contend with Yorkshire Bowie & Friends

I agree, it does feel like a curveball is coming our way. My gut feeling is it will be more on the lines of say Lizzo headlining and GNR subbing

Please pay no mind to this, it is a highly speculative and random guess

Saw that at Reading.

Muse may have lost some respect over the years, but to bring a unique show including never repeated visual/stage production to a single (double? Is Reading/Leeds one festival or two?) event was pretty special.

Tranquility of Solitude would like a word....... I suggested this on Jan 18th. Took some abuse for how ridiculous it was, which led to an interesting debate on whether or not there was any venue sizes between tiny and stadiums, and whether or not Lionel Ritchie played in pubs.

He just announced a date in Ireland on the Tuesday before Glasto.

It’s more the lack of evidence for anyone else that now puts him at the forefront.

I think their post was sarcasm, which tells you everything you need to know about the suggestion.

I'm joking 🙂 many many people have suggested it since on this thread! Makes me laugh whenever I see it pop up.

Yes, I think the “seriously though” may have been the clue.... but thanks for the clarification.

Lol, come on now, you definitely thought they were being serious. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It may feel off to some people, but it's still 3 huge headliners and someone who's an ideal fit for the Legend Slot.

Yeah, I got that. But just you all wait until it’s announced. I fully intend to be insufferable for weeks on here! 🤣

Does my reply strike you as a serious one? You still needing that hug?
