No it was closed for the stones definately as that was where I was sat before being helped to medical centre and blue lighted to hospital

I'd be curious to know at what point in the planning and build up somebody thought about Elton "this is going to be bigger than any headliner we've had before. We're going to need to extend."

banned i think? i asked about doing it once and was told they wouldn't permit it.

flying remote controlled things over crowds is a bad idea cos no one can be sure they'll stay in the air! 

Right on schedule

 

 

[Gnomicide]

I thought they extended the back of the field into Row Mead for The Stones but took it right out for Elton.

[Neil]

I was taught to fly my remotes by an experienced drone cameraman. Who impressed the dangers onto me. So I've never risked anything wreckless.

Post Stones:

Then for Elton, it was gone.

To be fair to the drone operator it’s pretty much impossible to miss Fatboy Slim at Glastonbury.

Has the Shania Twain rumour come from someone with inside information or is it just a guess based off of who’s around at the time?

[CaledonianGonzo]

The former.

Yeah it’s come from a reliable place rather than a guess. 

[stuie]

I’m still holding on that she might be on the lineup elsewhere, but she’s not the legend. Reliable sources sometimes have incorrect information… Chinese whispers etc.

Yeah - would be great if we had e.g. both Shania and Stevie. Just not sure it's that realistic...

she's not legend thats for sure - unless we are about to have a Glasto Rodeo - then you would have a perfect legacy act.

Yeah, I hate to categorise her for a particular "slot" (I think the festival has painted itself into a corner with some of those in recent years), but maybe somewhere similar to where Sheryl Crow played in 2019. That was a gentle hour in the sunshine. 

[FloopFiller]

Shania still gets number 1 albums and plays arenas here which Sheryl Crowe does not. I’m not gonna say it’s her for certain because what do I know, but I do think that if she’s playing it’s gonna be in the legend slot, a slot which she has been vocal about wanting to play quite recently. 

[Joey Peeps]

Or Stevie Nicks could be doing it but not in the legend slot. Might not see it as her bag? Unlikely probably but really want her to play. 

[Gnomicide]

Stevie Nicks?

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Stevie Nix

[gherkin8r]

Steve Nicks 

Steve Wonder

Nothing but Steves

Steve Davis

Seasick Steve 

(St)Eve

Steve Vai

Why is this thread still going? I thought the Spice Women were nailed on?

Haha - I WISH!!

[Long Season]

What would the chances be of a steely dan legend spot, albeit quite a bit of time between their manchester gigs and glasto. I think the general public kind of forgets the amount of songs they would recognise, even if from being sampled elsewhere. If not, they would make an incredible other stage headliner against Dua or Coldplay

They're brilliant and I'd love to see them again, but they're a long way from the typical Glastonbury legend slot so I can't see it (Elsewhere, vaguely possible I suppose).

Doubt it for the actual legend slot

Early afternoon Pyramid maybe similar to Crowded House? Seen someone suggest West Holts for them.

Would like to see them at the farm this year at some point seen as I cant justify the price of them Eagles tickets.

[Long Season]

Ah yeah, fair points. I suppose I've misjudged their size. I was surprised to see they were supporting the Eagles tbf as I've always thought the dan to be huge, though they would still definitely pull a huge crowd imo
