Legends Slot 2025

[Scotdy]

I saw Rod at Glastonbury.

It was bad, really bad, probably the worst I've ever seen.

Don't build your hopes up, it will be disappointing, unless he does a Face's show with a few solo hits shoehorned in

Another year without Annie Lennox 😢

Now that I would go to see, she can still sing as well. Safe to stay in won't be there

Side question now we know who the Legend is. If you’re passing on Rod who do you want to be on at same time?! 
 

I was about to say Pulp but want them to be on the Pyramid so Franz Ferdinand or Vampire Weekend for me out of the more likely options. 

Likely to be a polar opposite, maybe some upcoming pop, alt or hip hop act. Maybe Girl in Red, Beabadoobee, Sigrid or Denzel Curry. Vampire Weekend wouldn't be playing that low down - they're more likely to be the band on Pyramid straight after Rod. Franz maybe but I reckon they'd go for someone with a completely different audience to Rod

How about Shy Girl?

Yeah maybe - though might be a bit too small for a teatime slot on the Other

I reserve the right to call out Sailing as the gash that it is.

Give me an hour of Faces stuff on the other hand

Agreed

The entire rest of the festival is TBA right now tbf.

 

true. Still though, not being close to the Pyramid makes it an easy walk for a good hour prior. Although maybe it stays rammed if Sabrina is after him on Sunday?

Hypothetically, a hodgepodge supergroup covering the Rush album Moving Pictures, but realistically, Weezer.

Now that would be a slight change in vibe.

A crowd churn to rival the infamous changeover from Lana to Robert Plant in 2014.

Cannot see them having Carpenter third on the bill, though it is where I would personally place her in my head.

I have this horrible feeling they’ll whack Turnstile on Other during Rod’s set

You should really all sign this petition.

Time to bin off the legends slot as a yearly tradition and only use it when they can truly book someone who fits the title. I wasn't wowed by Cat Stevens or Shania but Rod feels particularly low rent.

Wouldn't be my cup of tea but as others have said, you can't deny he fits the brief for decent legend slot act. 

Quite happy to see him, a real legend. The only thing I don’t like is his choice of logo on his bass drum😉😊

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I just find it funny how they continue to stubbornly ignore the Space Ghettos openly begging to do it every year.

Pray tell who gets your seal of approval for this slot then?
