Sunday Legend 2016

[Thearg]

So who hasn't been mentioned?

Could Georgie Fame do it,I think he'd be good,I saw him 30 years ago but not recently,I know he still performs regularly.

[CTO]

Have we had Madonna?

Im sure she probably has been suggested but I CBA to trawl the thread to see where :)

 

 

[billum]

I've mentioned it in the other thread, but there are hints of the Beach Boys touring Europe next Summer - would go down extremely well on a sunny Pyramid afternoon

[Gucci Piggy]

I highly doubt she's read all our guesses, so I'd say it just rules out the ones rumoured in papers and stuff (if she's telling the truth).

Has anyone been properly rumoured other than ELO?

[billum]

I wouldn't be surprised if Emily has the odd glimpse at the eFests rumours page, reads out a few of them to Nick, and they chuckle gleefully at how far off we all are, and what they've got up their collective sleeve. (They make so little from the festival that they can only afford one coat between them in these chilly times).

I was thinking exactly this. Has Elton been rumoured outside of this site? I don't think I've seen much speculation in papers other than ELO, Manilow and Leo bloody Sayer. 

I still think it's Elton.

Lionel was announced on Nov 23 so theoretically we are into the announcement window as from tomorrow

I've seen a lot, lot worse than that.

Anyone mentioned the Quo yet?

[Comfy Bean]

I`m sticking with the Jacksons as my guess. Obviously a man down but they have the tunes.

even though i thoroughly enjoyed them at Bestival this year (they still got the moves!) they'd seem like a step down from the previous years legend acts imo

interesting that she thinks they haven't been mentioned much in the press. also interesting that she says it was a recent booking when Chris Evans seemed to think he knew who it was a fair few weeks back. imo, i think ELO will be there, but possibly on after the Sunday legend, and that's who Evans was whispering about

What about Joni Mitchell, Neil Young or Robbie Robertson?

Erm, since when have any of those three released a song that's come anywhere near to the legendary status of 'I Really Really Really Really Like You'?

Doesn't Emily or Michael always say that about headliners though? "It's none of the bands that have been rumoured" when most of the time it is someone that has been rumoured for a long time; apart from when Emily said it about The Who last time because nobody really because that rumour was binned because of the clashing tour date. Either way I wouldn't read much into it - it's probably just hyperbole.

Janet Jackson hasn't been mentioned and is "back".

unfortunately booked up over Glastonbury weekend *sob*

[Woffy]

Talking of being 'back', we're all happy and content, with minds firmly at rest that it isn't that Justin Bieber fellow, right?

I won't have any left at this rate, but If he plays, I'll eat my hat(s).

I've said it before, and I'll say it again... I really wish Tina Turner would start performing live again. That would be a fantastic "legends" booking!

No.

Saw them in '09 lunchtime on the pyramid. Perhaps the most predictable act I've ever seen - exactly how I expected them to be. Not bad, but not really my thing. I don't think they're really the stuff of legends though. I mean, they tour quite frequently, usually hitting up the Swindon Oasis leisure centre, so outside a hardcore following, they're not really Lionel or Dolly exciting. But I get it, the crowd singing along to' Rockin' all over the world' certainly was fun.

Hot in here, no?

Any thoughts on Dylan playing it next year? I have no idea what his plans are and I know he's past his best, but a setlist consisting of songs from 65-66 in support of the new Bootleg release would be unbelievably awesome in my opinion. I think if he commits to play that kind of set then he could EASILY own that slot.

Desolation Row on the Pyramid Stage? Oh my.

That's really not how Dylan works though, is it? He's not one for the nostalgia circuit or for faithfully reproducing his back catalogue. I can't imagine anything less likely, thank God. I love him to pieces for many many reasons, one if them being that he wont ever do something like that.

It's spoilsports like you that ensure we won't see a Pyramid field full of Dylan fans dressed up as tambourines, blue babies, Tom Thumb, big brass beds, Hollis Brown and wiggling bowls of soup.
