henry bear Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Assuming it is Roxy Music for the legend slot, the people here that claim not to know a single song of theirs do have the option of familiarising themselves with their material. You might even enjoy it, and/or realise that actually, you do know some of their stuff after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Roxy would be a complete and utter meh to the vast majority of people under 40 - that’s not a wild take. the crowd would not be large I think i’m aware of love is the drug and thats it. it would be a disappointing legend for a lot of people, whilst being realistic and remembering its not possible to deliver a stone cold banger every single festival in this slot - as it depends who is touring and who will do it for the cash on offer. One thing i expect most people could agree on would be that it would look daft if they make the poster look like roxy music is the 4th headliner, like they have done recently, when their stock is simply nowhere near that high.

CaledonianGonzo Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 I suspect some people will deploy what many people are calling the "henry bear strategy" and actually just give them a listen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) An ideal legend is someone you know 3/4 songs from fairly well (at least) without spending a single second listening to them, but yes.

Oooh, so it’s wide open now? I do like Roxy Music but I do think that I would have swerved for someone else. Cheers for the update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect for the slot, imo. He is active in the UK the week before! Its never made more sense As for roxy well it was always a daft booking for that particular slot. They deserve a place on a main stage but the sunday legend was not right for them or the crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think anyone said "I don't know any Roxy Music song and I'm not going to listen to them", they just said "I'm not already familiar with Roxy Music, as I would expect to be for someone in the Legend slot." Anyway, the latter applies to me and I was never having them for the Legend slot, which looks to be right after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass II Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 I’m genuine disappointed by the lack of Roxy. Held off seeing them last month because of the rumours on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leath02 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 This feels like a slight non surprise @Neil do you know if the booking fell through because of the band? Or because Glasto decided to go with someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not referring to said Mr Williams, I can breath a sigh of relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
