I think Stevie Nicks is a strong candidate for the phone call , I suspect Madge is nailed on already

I mean yes, we don't actually know the phone call was about headlining. We just know a big American act was offered to them.

We kind of do. She was talking about booking the headliners when she said it.

Bonnie Tyler has a random one-off gig in Germany on Glasto Saturday

She'd be more lunchtime, unless they were really stuck for someone.

Would assume before long that Germany date sits in the middle of a string of dates, she's constantly touring Europe.

[Harmonic Prospector]

Maybe so, but she has similar listening stats to Cat Stevens and Blondie. She'd be in keeping with the recent dampening down of the expectations the legends slot has garnered over the last 10 years, and would bring it back to the Kenny Rodgers, Neil Diamond, Ray Davies level before the Post-Dolly era. Last years slots were an obvious attempt at that. I think we'd all agree that Eclipse Of The Heart and Holding Out For a Hero would be an awesome spectacle on the Pyramid. 

Having said that she wouldn't have been my obvious prediction if I hadn't spotted that random date the same weekend. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'd like seeing Bonnie Tyler there, but she's squarely at an Avalon sort of level.

Bjork?

I would love to see Bjork back at Glasto but it wouldn't be in the legend slot.  I don't quite know where she would fit nowadays but not there.

Would also have 95% of the field not knowing what any of her set is. Would still be good...because she is good, but no way for Legend. WH all the way.

did you see her when she played for her maj? embarrassing! (and i say that as someone who has played jones's early albums to death ).

Acoustic stage material IMO. She’s in her 80’s now and her voice is very weak

[CaledonianGonzo]

She could also easily do Pyramid earlier in the day - but I agree not really a Legend Slot shoo in.

At best

[Dark Star]

Would Joni Mitchell be legend category? If Carole King was able to headline BST then I certainly think Joni could, and would maybe expect high billing.
Be incredible to see either of those on the farm mind.

Joni at the Gorge was a very special occasion in a unique venue that didn’t need much travel. Two out of three won’t cut it for Glastonbury 

[angelin]

The acoustic tent would be amazing 😀

[The Nal]

Rumours stateside of a Sharon Bryant tour. 

Maybe shes the female legend Emily mentioned and the "big US star". 

100k at this. Lars and Suggs and Phil Jupitus hugging each other on the backstage platform.
