2023 legend slot

[Meerkat]

I don’t know if she’s planning on touring or performing again but would love to see Britney in the legends slot, enough songs to make a killer set

this, from a very reliable source.

[Matt42]

Hmm. Can’t see them being billed as a 4th headliner tbh. Reckon this is more of a Jeff Lynne style booking.

[Hugh Jass II]

Surprised they would go down the ELO route again, but I love RM and Ferry and would be all over this.

Interesting

[JonSnow]

Oh that's a surprising move, similar to Elo disrupting the run of 'sing along acts'  Would definitely be there

[Zacko]

Incredible band who influenced so many after them, don't even care if Ferry's voice is shot, what a booking!

Not sure how well it'll go down generally, but this is great.

I've heard they're playing Avalon.

[Skip997]

Unlikely to watch them, but no complaints about this one

Wow, interesting booking! Change of tactic for the legend slot or forced by not being able to book the traditional mega novelty act?

[Quark]

OK that is interesting!

Ruined by the lack of Both Ends Burning.

Yup, running low on that kind of act now and what with Roxy Music reforming I’m sure they jumped at the chance to get them whilst they could. Great booking for me. Ain’t gonna pack out the field like some others but they’ve got the back catalogue to make for a great old-style legend slot.

Is it definitely the legend slot you’ve heard Neil? Because now someone’s floated them as an Avalon headliner I can kind of see it.

They are surely a sharp step below the legend slots we’ve had in the past? Unless I’m completely missing how big they are.

Can see how familiar I am with them. I know more about BF than Roxy.

definitely legend. avalon makes sense but they might play more than once.

they're a big classic act of the kind there's not many of, and a similar fit to ELO.

Wow, I'm surprised. Seeing them in a few weeks, will report back! They've got enough hits to keep the crowd entertained. 

[Armourman]

What a superb move. That slot has became a victim of its success over past few years and this year it was genuinely scary amount of people ( and more worryingly movement) Cracking act and sure to make a great show whilst not being novelty enough to draw in sightseers. 

[sadimmock]

This does kind of make sense. The novelty singalongs with choreographed bouncers were all starting to feel a bit end of the pier. Open it up, break the pattern and they have so many more options for the future.
