Legends Slot 2024

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Don’t think yer singer man from A-ha could reasonably claim to be above an 11am Pyramid slot after appearing on The Masked Singer. I confess to knowing nothing of the ego of the other two however.

Not seen it, but apparently the movie gives some insight.

Glastonbury is very much on Duran Duran’s bucket list

Surprisingly, these British pop legends have never played at the UK’s most iconic music festival. “I’d love to [do it] – we just need to get the right slot, that’s all,” says Le Bon. Though he doesn’t want to name the slot specifically, he will confirm that it has to be on the Pyramid Stage.

“We have had the chance to do it before, but it wasn’t playing the main stage and I think we’d like to be doing that for sure,” Le Bon adds. “I’m sure we’re in negotiations [with Glastonbury], and if not, we will be

Don’t think they’re that silly

If their hat's in the ring then I doubt the festival will be daft either..

Especially if there’s 2 female headers too.  Makes it much easier 

[Monty Pythagoras]

If its not Duran Duran I’ll be slightly annoyed!

Zero chance Duran Duran are headlining.

edit: oops thought we were in the headliner thread. Yeah. Legend a lot for them. Make it happen Emily!

A bit of a stretch as it was and certainly not post-Oscar debacle.

I still think Cher would be perfect - lots of classic hits over 50 years, appeals to range of audiences - ideal for dressing up on a Sunday. Can’t see her performing for much longer at her age

Don’t think this is even the right slot for them, but Steely Dan are probably always gonna be unlikely right?

Yeah I think they simply want too much money or a bigger slot than they’d ever be offered.

And in recovery from a stroke he suffered at Birmingham Hippodrome of all places. 

[O'Doyle Rules]

If you’re not offered (or will ever be offered) headline, foolish for Duran Duran not to take legends slot.

Clearly Grace Jones

Yes I know...

I've always imagined Jones in a WH headline set rather than Legends
