The way the lineups have been going, and the type of acts they're putting in big slots, I predict the Venga Boys will be the legends😅

I was at download a couple of years ago, despite being a fairly big metal fan of many years I’d never been - but I finally made the pilgrimage!
was at the late night disco one night and ok, I understand all the emo/early 2000’s stuff is right out of my wheelhouse, fine - I know there’ll be loads of My Chemical Romance and other eyeliner stuff, it won’t be all Slayer and Black Dahlia Murder like I’d want - alright! fair enough, it’s still under the big loose banner of metal, or metal adjacent. 
what I absolutely didn’t bargain for at all was the entire tent going f**king tonto for the Vengabus. I instantly felt both a hundred years old, and a really long way right out of my comfort zone 🤣

Accept no substitute 

This is the stuff of dreams.  The problem is she'd either need to strip some of that to fit the Legend timeslot, or chuck in Sara and Don't Stop for a full headline set.  I think I'd feel short-changed with the former tbh.....give her Sunday night and the time to give us everything.

Has anyone suggested Marc Almond yet?

[sisco]

Isn’t it Chaka Khan?

Would love that as well, personally, but is he well-known enough for the Legends?

He should be invited to play Glastonbury, in my opinion no chance of legend slot. High up on the Park or mid-Pyramid. Many great songs on his recent setlists:

1. Adored and Explored
   Brilliant Creatures
   My Hand Over My Heart
   A Lover Spurned
   Bedsitter
   Gone With The Wind (Is My Love)
   Northern Lights
   Tears Run Rings
   The Idol
   Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart
   The Days of Pearly Spencer
   Jacky
   Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go
   Yesterday Has Gone
   Say Hello, Wave Goodbye
   Children of the Revolution
   Hot Love

Actually, that was pretty much what the interview with her said, right? 
 

Would be happy with her doing it, although I expect they’d want someone bigger and she’d be on beforehand.

Not sure why she'd do a Fleetwood Mac song she doesn't sing... There's also plenty of stuff you can strip, but i don't think you'd need much - wasn't paying full attention to my watch, but think all of that came in at 1.5 hours, with an end of set/start of encore break, and at least 20 minutes of her extended ramblings between songs.

Mariah would do bits.

[Gnomicide]

I almost with the fecking Spice Girls would do it, just to stop them banging on about it.

 

Almost.

 

Well, not at all really. Besides, INABS.

Bryan Adams or my preference, Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox, fair enough 

[Avalon_Fields]

I was thinking no chance for Annie Lennox, but I see it’s not impossible: “I’m not retiring from anything,” Lennox said. “I’m just stepping back because I spent decades on the road. And at the age of 68, I’m very fortunate in that I can do sort of one-off appearances now and then.

The choice of Mrs c😉. Having said that he’s got a fair amount of sing a longs, the pyramid field full of robin hood costumes. 😊

[Wooderson]

Another vote 'ere for Annie L.

I heard an awful story about him the other day, sure it can't be true..

I dunno quite a lot of the crowds are born way after that song and does it get much airplay to younger audiences?

Is it about drinking a pint on stage ?

[Madyaker]

I agree Robbie Williams is coming for us but next year feels a bit soon?

[Madyaker]

What about this guy?

Think most folk have heard that story, might be a bit of an urban legend 

[Glasto96]

Give it Sting.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Toto are touring this summer in Europe. Rumours there's another tour in Europe next year too.

 

Would love to see them on the Farm. Maybe too obscure for the Legend Slot?

With the exception of One More Time by Daft Punk, there's not another song that would go off more on The Pyramid than Africa.
