They'll probably pull the big lever marked Robbie Williams

Sweet means site will be quiet elsewhere for something not shite.

Dream would be Simon & Garfunkel for me. Older acts such as Carole King or Billy Joel would fit the bill, Dire Straits if they ever played together again.

Spice Girls would be incredibly popular and as much as I hate to admit it Robbie would pack the field.

INABS all over the shop

[Superscally]

Won't be Duran Duran.

Won't be Take That.

Won't be Spice Girls.

Won't be Dire Straits.

Won't be Eurythmics.

Won't be Simon and Garfunkel.

thanks 🙂

Wouldn't put it past them having him headline nevermind the legend slot. Didn't he headline Isle of Wight last summer? 

 

He's not for me at all but I'm sure he'd be popular for the masses.

From what I've seen of RW and his famous ego, I kinda get the impression that at this point he'd prefer the legends slot to a headliner. It can draw almost as much (and sometimes more) attention / excitement, but carries infinitely less pressure or chance of a blowback. Feel like he'd absolutely revel in the role.

He's on record saying he wants to do the Legend Slot.

[Olshansky]

I want it to be Annie Lennox.  will it be?  probably not.  but she deserves it. 

If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Robbie or Stevie.

It's not a band slot. 😘

Never has been. 

All those bands listed there though, I'd bite your hand off for. 

You could have them as heads and subs at A festival and you'd be loving that. Give me that!

I will take that it's never been a band slot and raise you an ELO in 2016

 

Take That would be brilliant.

If it’s Robbie or Spice Girls I could be the biggest crowd ever.  Kylie was ridiculous and I think they’d both eclipse that

Been discussed before. It's not a band. Hasn't been in a real sense since 86 when Jeff Lynne disbanded it and since 2014 is now very much him with backing musicians plus one minor former member. It's like calling Liam Gallagher "Oasis".

Cannot stand Robbie Williams or Take That, and would be miles away from either - but I’d say he’s far more likely than they are. He’s played before, is desperate for the legend slot, and perhaps most importantly isn’t a tax dodging Tory prick and the most boring man on earth. 
 

ugh, I’ve stuck up for Robbie Williams in a conversation, I feel dirty 🤣 

anyways, TLDR: it’ll be Wobbie next year 

[EFC1996]

Not a big fan of Robbie tbh, but he has got the tunes to get the crowd going on a Sunday afternoon I can’t deny that

You’re right of course but it doesn’t mean it can’t be a band slot…

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - I'm sure Duran Duran will happen at some point.

Capacity is higher than Kylie's year so thats easily attainable. Add in the expanded grounds at the Pyramid field and theyll think about using the drone during that slot for a change.

Needs to be Snoop Dogg & Dr Dre and it would go off to holy hell

Cant ever beat the Tupac Hologram so why try.

If Tracy Chapman enjoyed herself at the Grammys and by some miracle could be persuaded, then I’d be there, belting out Fast Car and waving my lighter to Baby Can I Hold You

That's the dream booking for me well that or a Joni jam and I'm not sure that will ever happen on this side of the pond.

Another one I would be very happy with.

I think Emily has said something to that effect. I'd be quite happy for it to change though 😉

[manchestermusicreview]

Hear me out… Shakira?

If they're going to do a "big" one then Billy Joel please and thank you.
