I last saw him when I was a teenager at Bellevue, Manchester in 1978 - Blondes Have More Fun Tour. I would take a chance on seeing him again for old times sake! 😂 

At the old speedway track? Wow. That place was legendary. 
And of course, ole Rod was arguably at his peak in the late 70s too.

It was at Kings Hall, Belle Vue never been there since. Not much memory of the actual venue but it was a great show!

Just posted this on another thread too but Justin Timberlake is headlining Isle of Wight then Dublin 28 June and Chelmsford 4 July. Clear GSH. Could be do a Legend slot? Genuinely not sure.

Rod Stewart but he's just building a 00 gauge model railway on the Pyramid stage

Cannot add anymore reactions today, but outstanding.

No idea if he backs up much, and I'd have also assumed potentially too recent, too pricey and too controversial, though we've had plenty of those - to get the nod.

As long as he promised not to play anything off his last two albums, sure. But good luck suggesting that to him.

There would surely be a small protest against him, but much easier to do that with your feet and see something else.

Why, what did JT do?

[Dukey]

Any chance of Robbie Williams doing this? (Apologies if it’s been mentioned and ruled out already)

Yes was discussed but think his tour dates make it unlikely (from memory he’s in Europe before and after and possibly over a couple of the Glastonbury dates)

[Someoni]

I'm sure he has the Sunday free but is sandwiched on either side with dates in Germany if I remember rightly 

[wro_lap]

Timberlake is one of those acts who I think is nailed on to do this in like 10 years time

My stepdad was only just talking about that gig the other day 🥰

Released loads of sh*t songs.

That, and the DUI was a hit to a reputation already savaged by the Britney Spears allegations.

 

Plenty of people have gone off him, though plenty will stick the road.

[NorthernSoul52]

One that probably hasn't improved in standing to sufficiently warrant the spot since he last played mid-Saturday afternoon in 2010, but Jackson Browne due a return for me.

 

Saw him in Sydney last year, and he still has the juice.

Jackson Browne at Glastonbury would get my vote! My Dad’s favourite ❤️

Missed him in the UK the last time round, but I got into Sydney two days before for a flying visit. Ended up buying the morning of, and had a wonderful evening at the Super Theatre.

 

For those who find themselves in Sydney, I'd recommend the Super Theatre as a venue by the way - similar to Leeds's First Direct Arena in its bowl configuration, but a little smaller with a nicer slope to it.

He's played a few times, but last time was in a much lower slot than the Legend.

His new album has made going off him because of the allegations very straightforward. Just absolute crap, as Gnomey said.

The tide has been turning on him for a while. Some say he has been benefitting from the downfall of women throughout his career, Janet Jackson at the superbowl. His relationship with Britney (which came up again in her book recently). And in general he has been saying some odd comments. 

 

Plus he had his DUI which isn't a good look. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Always thought the Janet Jackson thing was a bit overblown tbh. He should’ve apologised but the industry blacklisting her is hardly his fault. The Britney stuff is indefensible tho. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Given his activity and Better Man's release, it is a miss not having Robbie for this, surely.
