This is a long shot, but I'm reacting to the clue that the rumoured act would piss off some folks - what about Weird Al Yankovic? Was/Is he as popular in the UK as the States? I suspect not, but worth asking.  I saw him play a festival in NYC once and he commanded the biggest crowd of the weekend.  All those parodies of hits were massive sing alongs.  And he wore all the costumes, including the Michael Jackson "Fat" suit.  

Maybe in the cabaret tent.

Theyd fuck off everyone by not appearing.

[henry bear]

Or by appearing

[CaledonianGonzo]

By appearing only to throw a dead sheep at the crowd.

Far too expensive, the festival doesn’t have money to burn😉
 

anyway, bring on AC/DC for the legends!

I have info on who's lined up for the slot that I can't divulge. Which I get is super annoying.

They haven't been mentioned on here thus far and would have huge crowd appeal whilst pissing off swathes of the festival old guard. 

Just a tiny clue? I'm putting all my eggs in this basket.

Joe Perry is touring with Hollywood Vampires, Aerosmith are out.

Ah, shame. There were the most intriguing booking (rumour?) of 2020 or 2021 or 2022 or whatever festival it was that they were supposed to play.

Not even a rumour as they self confirmed themselves on their own email from what I remember.

[2loor2iller]

Damn missed this new revelation yesterday. And not been mentioned at all in the thread thus far? Very interesting…

I would’ve liked Roxy but it always felt a bit of a strange one for them and they would undoubtedly have pulled one of the smallest legend slot crowds in ages by a big margin. Hopefully they’re still there though - third down the Pyramid could still be a goer, perhaps on the GnR day as a bit of a dad rock run like they did with Metallica. 

[Festival Liam]

Hans Zimmer?

They said it’s not been mentioned before their post.  Even if it’s tall tales, I love speculation

Nothing, it’s almost certainly them

[OBface]

DISCLAIMER - I haven'r read this entire thread 🙈

Not sure why I was so categoric they hadn't been mentioned before. So sorry.

And please don't take that as they have been listed. But what I've heard isn't Roxy Music. Or Take That.

Only been back 5 minutes and I've caused havoc!

excellent work...

I can see them sitting around a table at the farm with this list.. "OK, we've been at it 7 hours.. and we are down to Alice Cooper, Ice Cube and Tommy Steele.. Let's have a final vote."

First time I've managed  tickets since 2017 and I've obviously gotten a little overexcited!
