Indeed, Other Stage opener in 2014, and they were great - could easily be playing mid-afternoon on Pyramid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought most legends were pretty new to Glastonbury (or at least haven't played for a while) - sort of more "wow" than having appeared a few years back on another stage? But I'm probably wrong.

I'm not sure they'd play the Legends slot anytime soon tbh, they're still producing new music (I know that wouldn't rule them out completely) but I think they're still promoting themselves as a contemporary creative band. I was more thinking of the 'Squeeze' / Jools Holland type slot after lunch on Friday/Saturday maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First rugby, now this. You make it harder and harder to like you dude. OK so it was ridiculous bombastic 80s nonsense, but then so was View to a Kill as a film. And if a theme should reflect the movie it's for, it was bang on!

Quark Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) I know who I'd rather watch. And that's not even in a post-modern ironic way. Cheesy 80s polished nonsense or not, I'd be all over a bit of Ordinary World after a cider or two EDIT: yes, OW was a 90s tune. The principle stands.

Good 'legend-slot' style singalong. Also, fact fans, Debbie Harry is older than Dolly Parton ....... (and that takes a bit of getting used to for us old men of a certain age).

I'm sure David Gray stepped in. I remember going from seeing one Sugababa in the JP over to the Pyramid to see the end of the other I'm sure, that was 03? Blurs into one. all while the real legends of the Sunday, Yes, were playing the OneWorld Stage (renamed for one year, rumour has it, because Yes didn't want to play ing on a 'Jazz'-labelled venue) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have three dates in March in the Caribbean, nothing after that, but assume they won’t rehearse fo just three dates I think they have the back catalogue and would get a good crowd, they would work well for the TV audience.

I'm a broken man these days, since the ELO debacle. If the band was called Debbie Harry's Blondie or Debbie Harry and Blondie then it might be on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i don't think you're wrong. Bands like madness, squeeze or the pretenders have all played recently so surely can't be considered for that spot.

I’ve never taken issue with that...have I? Anyhoo. So we can all agree it’s Kylie then? I hope so. It’ll be rammed and i’ll be elsewhere, but have zero issues with taking TLS / SATS.
