He'd be a tremendous pick for the spot.

But i have doubts if the info is correct. Adams is on tour in the UK in may playing lots of arena's. Don't know if he's in for festivals. He haven't done many the last 10 years.

Would love Bryan and can guarantee it would go down very well.

Word is going on Festileaks Bryan Adams will play Werchter Classic festival. What do we think of him?

Have seen twice and booked for next year again. Absolutely brilliant live and voice never seems to age. Always plays perfect sets too. Would be delighted if he gets booked.

Gives Mel C an excuse to turn up and do a turn.

Am I embarrassed to say that I would be well in for this? I mean it's going to be Cher but still...

Yes, seen him several times and puts on a good show. Lovely sunny  afternoon and the opening bars of Summer of 69. 😊. Great tunes for a sing a long, essential for a legend.

Dream pick for me would be Annie Lennox, but if it was Bryan Adams I'd definitely be there.  Seen him live twice and loved both gigs.  Genuinely charismatic frontman and entertainer.

Think I read recently that she’s retired from playing live, not that she’s done much, if anything, in years

[NorthernSoul52]

I think Lennox has a couple of shows left in her, but sadly, the G won't be one of them.

 

Stiff-person syndrome aside, given that if she is able to return to touring, she will - but Celine Dion. Surely - surely - out of the G's nominal budget, but also potentially one who could be credibly sold on it? One to mull.

She played just the other week with Joni. Admittedly you’d be a fool to turn down Joni but she also did the tribute to Sinead at the Grammys. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Definitely have mocked up a few Lennox setlists in my time.

 

Wonder if we will ever reach the point where the legends are double-booked after a prior stint.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I see Cher has a memoir coming out.  What with that and the RocknRoll Hall of Fame she's clearly in publicly visible limelight mode.  Reckon that next year's not impossible.

I'd be tempted to go in it for the long haul and get down near the front 😅

[FKA SOSOTWS]

Cher would lipsync it for 100%.

I'm not so sure, she didn't at the RnR HoF.

[angelin]

And she sounded so much better than Dua

Yeah but she mimed one time plugging her Xmas single on Strictly.

[NorthernSoul52]

Bit of mime, bit of throat. Sure she'll find a spot.

 

My problem with a Cher spot is the knowledge that at least half-an-hour will be spent telling you how great she is.

 

Which, when you get to that point in your career with a need to pad, fair enough. But it's an absolute momentum killer.

[SticklinchJoe]

I'm not a fan of all these fancy American acts. I'd be happy with Bad Manners filling the Legends Slot.

No being Legendary in the Legend Slot.

[Justcalledtosay]

Rod Stewart discussed elsewhere as a real possibility 😬

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would take that all day long.  Absolute king of boozy singalongs.
