Just wondering who people think we should have in the Sunday afternoon slot. I thought this year Tom jones was one of the highlights of my Glastonbury,

Personally I would love to see Rod Stewart doing it, Maggie May on a sunday afternoon would be great

he was AWFUL when he played in 2002 (or was it 2003?).

But he - or rather his manager or someone to do with his manager - gave me a huge number of laughs before the fest, making posts pretending to be lots of different people who all thought Rod would be fantastic. Now I think about it, I'm not sure that anyone else posted anything similar.

2002 it was. Did you actually watch him Neil? I watched Roger Walters, and cleared off after that.

Beforehand I planned to give Rod three songs before deciding whether to watch any more, as (much with Bruce this year) I didn't think I'd ever be somewhere to see him again.

But after two dreadful songs he then said for the third "I dedicate this one to our boys fighting overseas" or something. I legged it (and amusingly enough, bumped into friends doing the exact same for the exact same reason :().

What about some other soul legends before they shuffle off this mortal coil like Smokey or Aretha?

Sunday afternoon slots have to be filled by warm 'cuddly' types who give everyone a nice warm feeling, so it has to be one of the following for me (who haven't played before):

Sammy Davis Jr,

Des O' Connor,

The Wombles,

Diana Ross,

David Cassidy / The Partridge Family,

Barry Manilow,

Donny Osmond / The Osmonds

Jackson 4 (if they're on the cash in trail)

Cliff Richard / The Shadows,

Bucks Fizz,

Brotherhood of Man,

Hollies,

Gerry and the Pacemakers

etc......

You get my drift.....

Dolly Parton and Stevie Wonder are both arena-filling major artists not Sunday afternoon "lets have a singalong" acts.

Glenn Campbell would be fantastic though.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
