f**king hell, from Rod to Neil Young is like someone choosing to give you fifty quid instead of kicking you in the balls.

 

This has reminded me of when I was walking to Woodsies last year, ahead of Kasabian. There must have been some daft Eminem rumour because I overheard:

 

'f**k me, going from Eminem to Kasabian is like going from Beyonce to Emma Bunton'

Lmao I'll take Baby Spice over Beyonce any day.

Definitely Legends slot, based on the info I've had.

 

Oh my.

At risk of getting this wrong, with Rod doing the rounds - I've been told we'll be Rockin' In The Free World on Sunday afternoon on the Pyramid Stage next year.

 

If that's true they'll be getting the greatest live performer in the history of music as the legend IMHO - they might as well retire the legend slot after that!

Goodness me. 
 

If it now turns out to be smelly old Rod again.. 🙃

This sounds highly unlikely.  He's not been well recently and AFAIK hasn't been near an airport since the pandemic.

The hell does that mean. Is he an anti-vaxxer? 😵‍💫

I think it means that, whatever his health issues are, being indoors with a very large number of people (so limited / recycled air circulation etc) is a bigger risk than being outdoors (with comparatively fresh air).

 

How fresh the air is on Sunday at Glastonbury is another question.

Fair enough.

Christ on a bike that's a bit of a contrast from Rod. Young would be f**king unbelievable.

It appears that the Crazy Horse tour got cancelled due to illness from one of the other band members, given that Young played live again later this year.

 

And he already has plans to come to Europe. Maybe he'll travel here by cruise, who knows.

I won't believe it until I see it. "Legend slot" indeed and Legend he is but worthy of way more than 1 hour and 15 mins on a Sunday afternoon.

If they manage to get Neil in for that then it seems a waste for him not to do 2 hours + in a headline slot. 

It will have been 16 years! 

 

From Shania Twain to Neil Young. 🤪

Indeed. If he played 'Like a hurricane', 'rockin' in the free world', 'Cortez the killer' and 'Powderfinger' that would be his 75 minutes pretty much done!

I’ve also never watched a “legends”, but if it is Neil Young, then for once they’ve actually got a legend. 
 

If it’s a nice sunny day and there’s nothing else I’d prefer, I might pop along 

You don’t think Diana Ross is a legend? 

[Fred Zepplin]

Would be over the moon if this is true but can’t see him doing the short set. 

[Avalon_Fields]

I’m amazed by the possibility of Neil Young for the Legends slot, would never have guessed that! Whilst undoubtedly a legend he’s hugely different from most previous legends, especially if it were with Crazy Horse. I’d be thinking a solo spot would fit better, but I’m a massive fan so for me it’s fantastic, unlike most I’d also be perfectly happy with Rod (Who would be much more like a ‘typical’ legend act).

Would you not class Diana Ross as a legend?

[NorthernSoul52]

Neil Young is a fascinating choice. Kind of a mad one too. All for it. 

[FloopFiller]

(It’s definitely gonna be Rod and not Neil guys, c’mon now).

Also hoping it's true myself. Bizarrely, I've never watched the Legends slot despite going 10 times. Neil Young I most certainly will watch.

 

No reason to doubt the info, followed up earlier to be sure.

reasons to doubt the info:
1) it would sound plainly ridiculous if it hadn't come from a good source

2) we already have info about Rod Stewart from multiple sources

 

Are you seriously expecting him to play?

[Jarski75]

I'd be happy with Rod for a trip down memory lane.  My Dad was a huge fan and I grew up listening to his music.  Might even be one I shed a tear at if it happens.  Epitomises what a Sunday afternoon legend slot is all about for me.  Good chance for people to don their wigs, tartan and leopard print leggings too.  His voice is a concern though
