Sunday Legend 2016

[Superscally]

Rod's alright. He'd go down great in the legends slot. Maybe not the size of Lionel or Dolly because of the fact he does play a bit, but most Glasto goers wouldn't have seen him previously. He's got a lot of big songs, probably a greater number of instantly recognisable than Lionel's and I'd be happy to go and see him. I don't know what the story was of him being not great at Glastonbury as a headliner previously, but I've read recent reviews that says he's on good form as well.

[Untz]

Rod doesn't quite have the cheese/irony factor of Lionel and Dolly or the creds to be a serious legend act. I dont think the field would be particularly busy if he played.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Difficult one to call. I think the number of roasters in the vicinity still half cut from Saturday night prepared to sway along to things like Maggie May and You Wear It Well mid-afternoon might not be tiny.

In the spirit of that special year, tickets will be priced to tie into that year and will start at £19.75

 

Fair play Bazza.

Please god not Barry manilow

[giantkatestacks]

A ray of light in the absolute torture that is not going next year.

This is what bumped #WrongBazza up to the top of the rumours heap a few weeks back.

Could it be magic?

No. It could be #WrongBazza.

No. It could be #WrongBazza.

 

Yep, may as well close the thread now. 100% him. No question.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I've gone from aghast at the prospect to there with bells on in the space of a mere blink of an eye.

Folks need to Don a raspberry coloured suit. brush their faces with some sort of petrifying lacquer and join #TeamWrongBazza.

[The Nal]

Could he be the 12.30pm Bazza before #RightBazza plays at 4.30?

 

Not sure #WrongBazza has the tunes to keep 90k moving for an hour? Or he could do the Bacherach slot?

 

Richie had Van Halen riffs and everything.

you'd be hard pressed to find many suitable 'legend' acts that have as many well known tunes as both Dolly and Lionel (right Bazza aside). definitely think Manilow has the material to do it. i'll probably be there, clashes aside (although i'm not nearly as eager as i was for Dolly and Lionel). he better play Looks Like We Made It

[Untz]

I approve of BazzaFest.

 

I'll be down at Avalon with #SoWrongitsRightBazza.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Oh #WrongBaz.

You came and you weren't the #RightBaz.

'Cos we wanted the one from the Bee Gees.

[CaledonianGonzo]

His name is Bazza

He was the #RightBaz

But that was 30 years ago

When he used to have a show

Now he's the #WrongBaz

But not for Glasto.....

[Untz]

Robbie Williams to come on as a special guest during Could It Be Magic as preparation for his own legend slot in 2020.

#wrongbaz makes me billious. A step too far for me.

[dentalplan]

That is obscene.

His name is Barry

He'll bring on Gary

His nose is very long

He must have a foot long schlong

But if he brings on take that

He'll prove himself a t#at

[Rumblestripe]

Looks like Manly Barrilow then? I note his "Last Ever Ever No Really It Is Tour" ends its UK leg on Thurs 23rd June at the O2 in that there London...

 

Ah well it will represent a chance to catch someone else, or perhaps a Goan Fish Curry for afternoon scoffs. Om nom nom.

My name is Debs and I am a Barry Manilow fan.  I was tricked into going to see him at the NEC when I was a teenager, and to my astonishment, he was brilliant and I have seen him whenever possible since then - he will be absolutely perfect for the Legends slot, and there are so many well known songs that it will be one of the best singsongs to date.  He's also a really, really nice guy and the crowd will love him..  As for any jokes about the size of his nose, he will be the first one to mention that.

Rod Stewart 2016 tour ends on June 21st.

I sincerely hope that it does.

Last night I wanted to kill myself when my friends started drunkenly singing "We are sailing" in the pub.

Can't imagine it would resonate any better seeing the actual song being played live.
