Outside shout of Yusuf Islam would be great 

I would love this if he put out the hits. Really hits that “oh I didn’t know they did that that one too!” criteria you need in a good legend slot.

+1 for Carole King. Pipes still the biz for an 80 year old too.

Had a reply to this. 

She’s been asked to play (not sure which stage) but turned it down because of the fee. 

Unsurprising, but a pity nevertheless

A curveball that isn't big enough, likely...

But Roger Hodgson would put on a few tunes.

Hell yes. Stack load of bangers.

Tapestry in full please and thank you.

Haven't been on here for a while, but just seen people talking about Cliff being the legend. To quote Sister Michael from Derry Girls: "Have you lost your actual minds?" 😯

[Mezhyp1]

would Duran Duran quite qualify for this yet?

There’s a very good reason Wimbledon has a roof these days.

Would be one of the ones that could tempt me back to the Pyramid stage for a legend slot!

Would be the most sedate crowd for a Sunday Legend since Kenny Rogers. But that’s no bad thing.

That was probably the last relaxing one. I am one of the people who doesn’t really like the hype of the legend slot. I think you should only go and see someone if you like them and not so you can take a selfie and say you saw the legend. 
 

The absolute best was Ray Davies when the football did the job of thinning the crowd out.

He also told me a story about Elton which isn’t ideal for those of us hoping for a final hurrah on The Big One.

There’s a few 80s acts who could do a great Legends slot. Tears for Fears have a few hits and Duran Duran could slay it. Problem there is they’re still releasing stuff and I think still see themselves as going concerns rather than having got to the ‘touring the hits round the nostalgia circuit’ stage.

Could a-ha do it, or are they too small?

Morten Harket definitely still has the pipes:

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

If folk can't handle Macca doing lesser known Beatles songs and Wings songs they'll struggle with Legend slot acts who only have one or two big songs.

[Isaact]

Depeche Mode is the 80s band that would absolutely kill it but given what happened with Fletch I'm not convinced that they will play another festival again.

They would be perfect though, they have more than enough hits. Although they are probably a band that works better at night rather than on a Sunday afternoon in the sunshine.

Enjoy the Silence would be incredible with that kind of audience though.

Madonna. I appreciate she seems to be a bit mad these days, but still.

Hits for days

Would be fantastic, would she be up for it or wanting huge fees though?

Essence of it is Reg describing the place as a “complete shit hole” and that he hates it with a passion. 

The one slither of hope is that it’s a conversation that happened years ago, so there’s a chance his position has altered. 

But it’s not the news we’d hoped for. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

At least let us dream for a week 😞 hopefully he’s changed his mind since or it’s duff info. Would be a bit weird for someone who just played BST to turn down Glastonbury for being too corporate.

The Reg Rollercoaster plummets down again 🎢

Definitely not.

Mind you, let's start placing bets for which provincial football stadium he's off to.
