Bloody hell I had 2 minutes in the Nal vs Brian Ferry sweepstake. 

Less than a minute when you haven't even been posting much today. That's impressive!

He's right though.

[CaledonianGonzo]

With the benefit of hindsight I'd have probably preferred seeing Ferry to what I actually chose (Metallica).

[CaledonianGonzo]

Easy come easy go.

Metallica was a new experience - Mogwai seem to show up round here ~ once a month on average.

[tevaburger]

i'd love to run into Lars Ulrich and tell him that i left before they finished to go catch Mogwai for 30 mins up at The Park.

Mogwai seem to cancel shows in NYC...visa issues or something...once a year on average

When are they booking Santana? More appropriate for the Saturday afternoon a la Bacharach as it's not as popular. Would be good.

West Holts headline slot for Carlos and the lads.

John Fogarty would smash the legend's slot.  Loads of tunes everyone knows, Eavis is a fan, sounds perfect to me.

He definitely would smash it, but given how good he was last time, I'd have him headline West Holts. Can't imagine a slot on the Pyramid being half as good as that was.

Would love to see Cat Stevens do it

If the Spice Girls reunion happens would they be likely to take this slot, or are they too young?

it's just the three of em (Emma, Geri and Mel B) reforming now (calling themselves GEM) and no, they wouldn't take this slot, even if it was the five of em. i doubt Glastonbury would book em at all in all honesty

I think the rumour is they're playing next year's BST? So presumably they need a top up on the finances.

Oh and agreed - can't see them ever being at Glasto at all.

second this, his performance at  the radio 2 folk awards a few years back proves he's still got the chords and we all know he's got the hits.

Any chance?

Virtually no chance considering how rarely he plays the UK, but if he does play he is undoubtedly a headliner.

Is he? Bigger than Paul Simon in the UK? He's one of those artists that's a much bigger deal in the states than here. Look at the difference between the UK and US singles.

He's certainly old enough for the legend slot.

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's a difficult one to place, the Petty. I dunno where they would ever put him if he plays.  

He's kind of at sub level, but they almost never have those sort of heritage acts in that sort of slot, Leonard Cohen excepted.

The 2017 ThunderThumb campaign starts anew then.

Well, he headlined IOW a few years ago so I can't see him accepting less at Glastonbury. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

IOW is such an odd grab bag of a festival that I dunno if it's that useful as an indicator. This year's capper of a Stereophonics  / Faithless double bill is something that we're unlikely to see headlining Glastonbury.

Diana Ross, Elton John, Barry Gibb, Tina Turner

Thats 4 years of legends slots sorted right there

What are 'deep cuts'?

I keep meaning to ask.
