Glastonbury-who’s left to do the Legends slot?

[Ohwhatfuckeryitistoride]

Who is left, that is a legend, has enough absolute bangers to sing along to, doesn’t take themselves too seriously, is maybe a little camp(in the glam, fun sense)and is still alive (and is capable of singing still)? All the ones I can think of have either done it, are dead or are more headliner fodder. The only ones I can think of are Blondie and Neil Diamond?
And given that most legends are now ex legends, who would be your dream Legend?

Erasure
Depeche Mode
REM
U2
Bon Jovi

(I would love Pink too 😁 she is amazing in concert)

True yes.

I would LOVE to see Duran Duran do it 😀

Omg Sparks ..YES. I loved their slot with Kate Blanchett

Bonnie Tyler might like a go at it or shakin Steven’s !

Tears For Fears (and they’re locals. From Bath/Box).

”Shout”/“Mad World”/“Everybody Wants to Rule the World”/“Advice for the Young at Heart”….. all great stadium songs

or…. SLADE!

Yes to Slade! We saw them at the Reading Festival 1980. I think they were in place of Ozzy Osbourne.
They were absolutely fabulous and really got the crowd going.

Tears for Fears, good call. Huge hits and can work a crowd. Not a big headliner but a well known act. Depeche Mode are a stadium act in Europe so they would want a headline slot.

This would be the one time I’d go to Glastonbury! I still haven’t seen him live despite loving him for 40 years.

REM would have to reform. I saw them years ago at Old Trafford cricket ground. Brilliant gig.

I thought they were really bad at Latitude last year.

Not Duran Duran - and I say that as an ex-Duranie. Simon just can't sing any more (he wasn't that great to start with).

I'd suggest:
OMD - who are still touring
Talk Talk
Erasure
Tears For Fears

All talented bands with a strong back catalogue and mostly still active.

Bananarama
Madness
UB40

@PollyIndia Sadly, Donna Summer died in 2012.

Manilow 🙌

Agree with Depeche Mode. They've never played Glasto, apparently they've always avoided festivals as it 'its not the right fit for them'. Pity, because I think they'd be fab.

I think Robbie will do the next one.

oh dear, completely forgot about that.

Christina Aguilera
Bonnie Rait
Garth Brooks
The Eagles
Bon Jovi with Richie Sambora
Tom Jones (not sure if he's ever done legends though)
Madness would be epic
The Darkness
Billy Ocean
Spandau Ballet with Tony
Tears for Fears (one of the best gigs ive ever seen when they played at Newmarket races, incredible)
Boomtown Rats

Phil's son Nick Collins is now the drummer for Mike and the Mechs, and a mighty fine drummer he is too, they are a great band x

Paul Weller

Has anyone mentioned Eric Clapton? He is 80 like some of the others mentioned.

I saw Mike and the Mechanics recently and they were brilliant. Nic Collins (Phil's son) on the drums.

A full Genesis reunion (including Peter Gabriel) would be amazing but, as you say, Phil is not up to it.

Alternatively a Pink Floyd reunion but I think hell would freeze over before Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour would do that.

That’s very rude. Pink sells out stadiums when she tours so clearly plenty of people think she is good.

Billy Joel
