All time legends that haven't played Glasto

[Paadzer]

If we are talking 'sunday' legends its

Bee gees (on reunion aparently)

[In transit]

I couldn't believe the quote about Paul Simon, especially as the only true legends left to play (and the most fitting) are S and G.

Lo and behold, a quick Google reveals it's NOT Paul SIMON - it's Paul Simonon!

What's wrong with you youngsters!

Yes - Paul on his own would be excellent as well - I'm lucky enough to have seen both solo and S and G together. PS is without doubt the greatest living songwriter (yes over P Mc and L Cohen - who are both wonderful).

BTW - Strummer at GB was boring and I'm sure the Clash would have been the same. One of the most overated bands ever.

Didn't Simonon play with The Good, the Band and the Queen at Glastonbury?

Has James Taylor ever played?

He is doing a tour with Carole King that starts in Australia in March and ends in Boston on June 19th. They have a final one-off stand at Tanglewood on July 3rd & 4th.

The backing band is stellar too: Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel, and Lee Sklar.

Maybe they could make a quick detour of Boston to the UK for Glastonbury?

Just looked at Santana's website, he seems to have a residency in Vegas for February, but, intriguingly has one show booked in for the end of May in Lisbon.Vegas thing might mean that he's all about the dollar for the moment, so GF might not be his bag cash wise. However he is a canny lad and might be persuaded about the benefits of a headlining slot at GF in boosting a flagging profile. Could be an outsider. I for one would be more than pleased.

Yep Kylie. She is still due a slot after cancelling a few years ago due to her unfortunate illness. I wonder if she might pop up for a bit of a comeback. Not my cup of tea personally, don't think she could pull it of without the stage costume changes etc. that define her big shows.

Another one is the news that Spandau Ballet are playing Newmarket racecourse Firday 25th June. I could quite easy see them filling the Shaky/Status Quo Saturday Breakfast slot or perhaps wrapped around the Sunday novelty slot, being filled by the great Andy Williams this year, if he is still gong strong in 6 months.

The Rolling Stones? Doubt they'll ever play if they keep asking for mega bucks.

[Magic Bus]

Carol King - PLEASE. Tapestry is one of the most legendry albums of all time. Saw her on a chat show last year or with Jools Holland (can't remember) and she was really good. She'd be wonderful!!

Stevland Judkins.

I'm biased, but to me that isn't boring. No more boring than an aging Paul Simon for sure...

[guypjfreak]

Santana?

[ivan]

Whitesnake !

Sting HAS played. Did a stunning and very memorable sunset slot on the Sunday at the Pyramid in 97. When he played Fields of Gold, you just couldnt help but fix your gaze on the far off Tor.

I was stood at the back of the field at my campsite watching the Police WITH the Police who were hanging and watching nearby. Brilliant and a beautiful moment

Steve Winwood was supposed to play just after but he had laryngitis and pulled out. Still gutted about that...especially the Kula Shaker replacement...whoopdif**kingdoo
