Stevie Wonder

[glimmers_of_hope]

He was fantastic in 2010. Really strong headliner if it really is him this year. I think I'd need to assess what the options are when the lineup comes out I'm not sure I need to see him again.

Hope he's better. Saw him the last time he did BST and he was really ill, made an announcement to the crowd and everything.

Purely speculation and optomism

I reckon they'll be there, I can see The Prodigy opposite Coldplay if that's true although I'd rather it be The National as that's one winner.

First Elton, now Stevie. Emily's going down a "former Bestival headliners" path.

Expect Wiz Khalifa to headline 2025.

So do I , prodigy I’m doubting as they play France Fri , and national Sunday rumoured so the only gap sat … so not sure they’d be playing sat . Lots of speculation . Anyway back to Stevie

God - programming Coldplay vs The National sucks. Dire scenes.

If that means Outkast in the future I'm all for it.

I'm not, their Bestival gig was appalling. Three stacks and Big Boi both admitted they purely did it for the money sadly.

I just called to say I love Stevie!

Is there a better double album than Songs in the Key of Life? Maybe second to the White Album, but it’s true genius.

Which I would be frequenting if this was the case!

Why are people thinking Coldplay Sunday? They were always slated for Friday, no?

Nope, originally Dua Friday, Coldplay Saturday, Madge Sunday. We now know Dua is Saturday so something has shifted, most likely Stevie’s availability causing it.

 This was in 2023, sounds in pretty good form to me.

Yes, sounds good but this was 2021, (the masks are a clue), hopefully he's still as good.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nuts to think he was only still in his 50s when he played last time....

Yeah @adequate8 who has delivered reliable info in the past said so the other day. 

[parsonjack]

Stevie, Dua, Coldplay in that order suggests GFL have struggled to fill a hole left by Madge.....

Is hardly call getting Stevie Wonder in struggling… just seemingly needed a bit of rejigging to accommodate him.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - credit where its due. We could be staring down the barrel of Liam Gallagher.
