Legends Slot 2025

[CaledonianGonzo]

You wouldn't want Iron Maiden to do The Rime of The Ancient Mariner as part of their Sunday afternoon Glastonbury Legend Slot?

[MilkyJoe]

Looks like Alanis could be a probable shout for next years ridiculously busy nostalgia booking if she doesn't get the official sunday teatime.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I reckon she's on the Pyramid somewhere - but more likely in a Sheryl Crow / Crowded House / Cyndi Lauper sort of slot.

Yeah, to be fair, the pyramid is the only stage I can realistically see her on if any lessons were to be learned from this year.

Actually have it on my predicted set for next year, but think a judicious cut may be hypothetically best.

 

Otherwise, let's have Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, The Clansman and Hell on Earth out there while we're on it.

Too random, surely.

If she was to play Other I think it would be through the day rather than headline. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Doubt they'd want a  repeat of the Avril Lavigne sitch quite so quickly.

Why? She's big enough to headline it i'd say

 

2 o2 nights last tour

Absolutely she's big enough to headline. As you say it would be very random though and I just can't see her in that slot. Could maybe see her as a Park headliner but it would be mobbed up there. Think as suggested above though she would probably slot in best daytime pyramid.

There's no way Alanis is doing Park Headliner 🤣

Have I lost track of the thread or are you suggesting Alanis M to play The Park stage?

Definitely Pyramid after the Avril Lavigne situation, a lot of people will want to see her, both fans and for the rarity factor. She's a perfect fit for the sort of act on that stage

I think she would be similar crowd wise to Avril Lavigne -   Nostalgia popularity -  I think it might be a very dangerous pick to put her on the park -  I would think Pyramid or nothing 

[efcfanwirral]

I hope Alanis does play, the rescheduled Jagged Little Pill show that I had tickets for ended up on Glastonbury weekend so I still haven't seen her

I agree she would be too big to be up at the Park. My point was in reply to her headlining Other as a possible not pyramid location. I was trying to get across (poorly it seems) that as a headliner I didn't think her music fits the other and would be better suited to the park. I wasn't suggesting thats where she should be and said earlier that Pyramid afternoon is the only place I can realistically see her.

No worries - id put her in the Cyndi Lauper kind of slot on Pyramid from last year, unless she is the Legend slot pick outright that I would not compain at.  I think after Avril they might be wary about putting acts in the wrong slots on the Otheer stage as its harder to crod control than the park, woodsies etc

Yep, that was my thought, Cyndi or Blondie sort of time would work.

I've said it before, I'll say it again - Bryan Adams.

See Billy Ocean is over here next summer. Would be a great candidate IMO. Looking at the dates though, it would mean he’s doing 4 gigs in 4 days if he’s at G on Sunday so unlikely.

Apart from the bit where he was accused of racism towards the Chinese, but by all accounts, yes. Be well down for a bit of Heaven and Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven. (Love me double heaven, sue me.)
