2023 legend slot

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's definitely up there.

Dolly Parton to Yoko Ono is also one one of the great vibe shifts.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Probably a thread in that if anyone can be arsed.

Had a listen to Cat Stevens, recognise some but not a big fan. It's nice to do the Sunday a bit more chilled especially with the headliner that night being so sought after and likely busy so not complaining at this one

Did anyone stay in the field?

I don't see Cat Stevens as a legend-slot legend. A legend for sure and a legend who needs a big slot but not the legend-slot, slot.

Two different fields to be fair - as I assume was the Tony Bennet / Sonic YouTube double bill.

No, both on the Pyramid. Followed by Bob Dylan, Nick Cave and Pulp headlining.

I saw them back to back too.  Both incredible in their own way

I was underwhelmed by them on the other stage but perhaps the pyramid will add the necessary magic to bring the party 

I loved it. But then I'd always wanted to see them.

Great pop song writing and have always liked Clem Burke's drumming.

Would deffo be up for seeing them again.

Cat Stevens into BlackPink would be the most deranged double bill in the history of the festival but I for one am fucking down for it.

Here for it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I used to have a face - but sitting here now in the pub with it all melted off after I told my brother it was probably Cat Stevens.

[Superscally]

Nick Cave into M*mf*rd was pretty mind-blowing. Not that I stayed for the latter.

Is this because you are, in fact, Cat Stevens?

[Drinky]

I don’t think it’s realistic to expect Robbie as any kind of surprise. He’s getting top dollar for these bookings this summer and even with the regular Glastonbury profile-boosting calculus, he’s not in the frame. Next summer will be a different story.

I think this year has Cat written all over it

[gazzared]

Not gonna lie I didn't know who cat Stevens was until all this talk, listened to him today and I already know about 6 songs without realising. Maybe I need to remove "music" from my bio 🤣 but I would definitely enjoy a more chilled out Sunday legend slot compared to the recent bucket list crowd mayhem to see Kylie and Diana Ross .

My working theory is that if you're drunk/tired enough on a Sunday afternoon, and the weather is good, we'll accept bangers regardless of how they are served.

The same will have to apply on the Sunday night too.

im at 2 ... might need to do a little more listening 

[kalifire]

I know a few but it’s doubtful I’d be there. Bring on the undercard! 

[Gnomicide]

I've raised the Cat Stevens question with the younger generation, not a fucking clue.

 

Still holding out for Smokey Robinson 'ere.

The slot itself will help get a big crowd, but I genuinely dunno what his name recognition is with these TikTok zoomers that they have now.

name recognition might be low,song recognition would be high.

I can confirm that both are low.

To which the response I got was "yeah, but the covers are batter".

the production on 'tea for the tillerman' is outstanding! if you don't know it intimately you've missed out.

[slip-slop-slap]

Why/have we ruled out Rod Stewart? Missed that

It certainly blew the minds of the Sunday picnic brigade waiting for Mumford. I saw parents covering their little darling's ears in disgust. Mummy, what does fuck mean?
