Ryan1984 Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Maiden? Could smash a headliner set after G&R showed there’s an appetite for riffs. Second the Carole King and Joni Mitchell shouts. Bryan Adams, Randy Newman and Billy Joel could also be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another eforum account Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Have Tears for Fears ever played Glasto? Given they where local (not now obvs), saw them at Longleat last year - not a headliner but a Sunday slot… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can blame Hop Farm festival for throwing silly money at him in 2011 to draw him away. Not sure who we can blame for 2015, I think he just decided it wasn’t for him. Such a shame, he would have killed it. Especially in 2011 with Beyoncé subbing as was the original plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t the story that he saw the backlash to Kanye’s booking and feared similar for himself so bailed? One day I’m gonna track down Neil Lonsdale and make him pay for what he took away from us.

yaniv297 Posted June 26, 2023 Report Share Posted June 26, 2023 Tom Waits is the best one, though can't blame the festival for that one, dude doesn't play anywhere. Wonder what kind of spot he would do? Legends spot? Part of me thinks he should be high as possible being, you know, Tom f**king Waits and a strong contender for the best musician in human history (at least for me). But on the other hand, he notoriously doesn't have any hits or singalongs (and the few he does have - mostly because other artists covered them - he never plays), and this will surely be the weirdest and most experimental legend slot ever lol.

MassiveGypsum Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 Re: Joni Mitchell - is there some version of reality where this happens now, given she has returned for a few isolated performances? Would this overseas festival be in her wheelhouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Fiona Apple. Unlikely though.

One of the greatest ever to do it but he'd never give someone else that much control. He still sounds great though Edited June 27, 2023 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
