Legends Slot 2024

The extent to which Man! I Feel Like A Woman is going to off is gonna be close to unprecedented.

Is this the first time the ‘legend’ will have been subjectively not a legend?

Well if you're talking subjectively, you could probably find sometime somewhere to make that case for every single past act.

Legend

A very overused word

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's probably why it's not a term the festival came up with themselves and we're very late adopters of.

I'd say that was Kylie. 

It's probably down to the act's age. I may not like a lot of the acts that have previously played the slot but you could see why the term would be applied to them. Kylie was just in the Successful Pop Artist Slot.

With Stevie Nicks still seemingly rumoured to be coming over for BST would it not be Stevie as the legend and Shania just high up the bill or is it more likely to be Stevie main sub?

Given the 2 week gap between Glastonbury and her expected BST date, it's quite possible she won't be at the Festival at all.

Shania is more campy frivilous fun, so more likely for the Legends slot.

Could see Nicks on after her (or 3rd down another day). Doubt she'd be Pyramid sub.

Stevie wouldn't facilitate dancing security guards so probably not.

If these crazy bastards have pulled off the Shania - Stevie Sunday Special I'll doff me cap to them. Great work.

You saw the lineup last year, right?

Off topic but can I ask what it was like camping by Woodsies? I'm considering it this year

I know long walk to SE corner but not too bothered by that. I hear they had more late night stuff going on around there but can't seem to find out what it was or if it was any good. 

 

I think we've camped up that direction 3 times in total. We camped in the woodsies campsite area in 2014 and again 2015 (may have in fact been darble) and then literally the other side of the walkway outside the John Peel tent one year. I think the John Peel stage has now moved as well as being renamed so imagine things are quite different now to those years. Wasn't any late night stuff up that way back then after silver Hayes and beat hotel finished. As you say it's a long walk from the SE corner but I quite enjoy those hazy, meandering walks back to the tent.

You'll have to put up with having pricks like me around, so don't bother

National Treasure and all that, but not a musical legend.

Perfect fit for the Legend Slot, as evidenced by her smashing the almighty f**k out of it

No. And they have to start dipping into artists that are not 75 years old believe it or not.

Even though Chris Martin turned up and butchered her best song with a crappy acoustic rendition?

She's not headliner sized - by a long chalk.  She could easily fit in 3rd down after the legend.

Indeed. After Shania would be ideal.
