Who would you like to see play the Glastonbury legend a slot?

[ExcitedforGlasto]

Always a highlight of the Glastonbury weekend for me, but I was quite surprised to see it’s Shania Twain this year as it doesn’t feel enough time has passed since she hit the big time… but will keep an open mind and I did enjoy dancing to her music in my university days.

I thought it would be interesting to hear who are the favourites of past years and who would be your dream legend. Here’s mine:

Best legend: Dolly Parton
Dream legend: Labi Siffre

I picked Labi Siffre because he has so many hit songs, which have stood the test of time, are widely known and have been covered / sampled by many big names including Eminem, Madness. He is a beautiful singer and still got it despite his age (he is singing in the BBC documentary from last year with Yentob). He is a legend as he’s made a huge mark on music but I don’t think his name is well known.

Dolly was great.

I'd like Billy Joel.

Shania twain don't impress me much!

Dr Dre/Eminem with assorted guests. Lionel Richie

Ooh yes @NashvilleQueen I would like Billy Joel too. I have amazing memories of singing along to his songs in the car as a kid in the 80s. Olivia Rodriguez referenced him in one of her big hits so I think the younguns know who he is too

If the culmination of a total transformation into good health I’d love a Britney glasto set.

Eminem.

Madonna , belting out all the classics.

Haha see what you did there!

I’m keeping an open mind- could be a lot of fun

If the culmination of a total transformation into good health I’d love a Britney glasto set.

ooh yes

Kate Bush.

@Radiatorrung i think Lionel Richie done glasto a few years ago. 2015? I remember watching him

I think the poster is saying he was the best they’d seen

Cher would be pretty amazing I think.

Or Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music.

Can't wait to see Shania at Glasto (on TV).

Dream legend: Morrissey.

Oh yeah good call- and young people know her due to Stranger Things

Lionel Richie, Neil Diamond, Aretha Franklin or Boney M.

Depeche Mode for me, everyone in the crowd with leather waistcoats 😂 enjoy the silence

Duran Duran

Lionel was good…..think he was the year after Dolly

Stevie Wonder
total bloody genius (but not sure if he's still playing live)

The best ‘legends’ are often on the smaller stages…..we saw Bananarama on the Avalon Stage…..dancing to Robert de Niro waiting was the hilight of the festival to me! … we saw Keane on the Acoustic Stage and that was amazing….,equally on a par with Dolly, Lionel and Kylie on the traditional pyramid legend spot

Levellers, they so deserve it. They were Glastonbury for a while.

Cher is a great shout

Van Morrison

I don't think Boney M ever actually sang their songs did they?

Never going to happen but I can dream !
Led Zeppelin
