I'm going to ignore the post and reply to the subject, which is much more interesting, since I don't think we can rule anyone out until they die.  So I'm going to pretend you asked for artists who've not played yet without mentioning whether they ever will.

So, who hasn't done it yet?  In terms of big hitters, Elton John is the big one that springs to mind, I can't think of a single act bigger than him who's not already played.

I can't believe that nobody has picked up on how incredibly rude this post is

[Wooderson]

Here's 10 more:

Aretha/Tina/Diana (unlikely now)

Ween

Seger

G Welch

Santana

Duran x2

Clapton (oooh tough crowd in 'ere)

Kiss

SLAYYYEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR..........on the park

There's always going to be gap into which some acts fall, they don't really know/get/understand the cultural significance of the festival and/or they're not willing to take a reduced payday. That, i reckon, accounts for 90% of the missing acts. Bands like Santana, they ain't cheap, and why would they reduce their fees? Glastonbury means nothing to them

Save some of the stash for Glastonbury

It's suburban magic innit.

I think Steel Panther would actually go down pretty well. Not sure how the BBC would react to them however.

Has Billy Ocean ever done it? He's touring around the time this year and just seems like he would be a great fit.

pretty sure they did it in the late80s/early 90s ... tho perhaps I'm mistaken.

Childish Gambino needs to happen

My Bloody Valentine. 

Doubt they'll ever get back together though tbh. Kevin Shields is too much of a musical hermit. 

would be amazing... would need them in a tent to get the full noise experience

[rumpola]

The Presidents of the United States of America.

Eric B and Rakim

Ice Cube

Daft Punk 

Kraftwerk

Busta Rhymes

Ray LaMontagne

UB40

The Walkmen

Lynyrd Skynyrd

Creedence Clearwater Revival

 

I'm not 100% sure if these haven't played the festival in the past, or if they are still performing, but I would love to see any of them at the festival at some point.

And Creedence Clearwater Revival have sort-of been done by John Fogerty.

I wasn't sure about Daft Punk but I am gutted I've missed John Fogerty (if he appeared after my 1st time in 99)

They could have. Only thing I could find online was from this site saying they were rumoured for 1999.

They did play Reading 92 so theyve defo done festivals over here before.

Talking Heads haven't, but David Byrne headlined Jazzworld in (I think) '98 ... which included the raved up version of 'I Zimbra' just like in the vid below...

 

I know Michael is a fan, so hopefully we'll get Byrne again one day.

2007 Saturday west Holts sub. Was drenched and freezing. It was ace. 

Edit - it would have been jazzworld but you know what I mean. 

I used to get Jazzworld passes and camping back in those days so how I missed it I have no idea. Probably something to do with being constantly hammered trying to forget how bad the weather was that year.
