Legends Slot 2024

[Amy Lawn]

I know loads of people love them and it would be a hit but personally I hate them and think the vibes would be rancid if Spice Girls played.

Mel C & B can hang, but keep it solo. The other horrible posh chippy right wing ones can keep well away.

Serious suggestion now - would Joan Armatrading be big enough?

I'm not saying how big he is or isn't. I'm saying how big he THINKS he is.

He played mid afternoon in 1998 (think it was that year) - reckon he would be delighted with the legend slot!

Would love it to be Billy Joel - would be perfect for it.

I know what you mean. 

Same goes for Robbie Williams for me though. He'd be popular too no doubt but I'd rather be just about anywhere else on the planet than watch him perform.

no

She said in some interview a couple of years ago that she'd like to do it, but the festival wouldn't book it. 5th/6th on the Pyramid any day is the best slot she'd get, or else high up on the Park/West Holts/Acoustic.

Not seen the Eagles get much of a mention for the legend slot. They are still touring and playing. Think they'd get a big crowd.

I hate the f**kin Eagles, man

+1 to the Stevie train.

Thought she might have been a shout for last year too, but tour dates didn't work out.

Emily has made no secret that she'd love to get Fleetwood Mac on the farm, but with Christine's passing and Lindsey no longer involved, it feels as if a Stevie legend slot is the closest (and probably best) thing we can get.

Not a fan then I take it? hahaha

How anyone can Hate 'Take it easy' 'Life in the Fast Lane' or 'Hotel California' I will never know though. Incredible back catalogue of songs they have. 

The biggest issue they have though is the tribute band 'The Illegal Eagles' are much much better live. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

And that they'd want to headline and demand £££££ for doing so.

😄 Its a Big Lebowski quote, but one i wholeheartedly agree with- its the complete lack of passion and smugness i hate. 'I've got seven women on my mind'? bellend 😄

They are headliner or nothing. Massive and expensive. Sunday night headliner for the locals 

[Fred Zepplin]

Bon Jovi has the sing a long hits to make it a fun hour

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dead or Alive? Black Lace?  Chesney Hawkes?

That tune grinds me geats massively. I hate it with a passion.

Life in the fast lane is alright though.

The Eagles though, nah. Naff.

The Eagles are one of Michael’s last big wishes for the farm, but they won’t do it for the money on offer and they would want top billing, which wouldn’t be on offer either

Sod it then, I'm sold.

[Sack truck]

Eurythmics would be a banger packed set. Annie still has the lungs to give it some too

[selectedalbionworks]

Tom waits would be ridiculous.
