Don't tell the Mrs , but im going to Kyle just for a perv 

At least whilst you're harassing Kyle you'll be leaving Kylie alone to get on with her act. You'd be easy to spot on a hot day with ya long mac on.

Bloke on Twitter suggesting it should be Lulu (didn't she do the Avalon novelty act slot a few years back?), loads of "glad I didn't get a ticket" tweets but lots of positive ones too. 

Lulu was great fun at the Avalon. An unexpected highlight

I'd love to see The Wiggles, although I'm strictly a Nu Wiggles man. Just a shame you'd need to have a child with you to see them.

Too tired to function. Seeing the wrong faces.

Personally I don't think of Kylie is an old woman but still an amazing woman who should be headlining a festival no playing the ooo this could be the most important end to my career slot... 

Christ tbh if this is the way we are going I'd rather of had the rolling stones do the legend slot a few years back.. 

The glastonbury madness has spread from the crowds to the management

He can't believe that Kylie is old enough to play the legend slot.

Kylie! I saw her surprise appearance with Scissor Sisters in 2010 but always wanted a full on poptastic dance set by her on the Pyramid one day. I can't wait!

[FuzzyDunlop]

She cant headline & the set that gets the most exposure after a headline set is this.

Personally I think she's perfect for it

[CaledonianGonzo]

They had to start looking beyond heritage acts in that slot at some point and start considering more fresh-faced performers. And Kylie's as good a place to start as any.

I think Kylie maybe the youngest to play that slot, but not by much. She’ll be 51 next June; Tom Jones and Van Morrison were 52 when they played in ‘92 and ‘97, and Al Green was 53 when he did it in ‘99. Perhaps the difference is she doesn’t look her age?

[CaledonianGonzo]

That and that she started her career in the late 80s.  She's definitely the first performer of my generation to do it, as opposed to my parents.

It's not about how old an artist is though, her career spans more than 30 years.

I've got to put one thing straight here on performers vs musicians. A singer *is* a musician, end of. They make music, using their voice. Therefore Kylie, and Dolly, and Lionel are all musicians. Kylie may or may not also play *another* instrument, but that's fairly immaterial - she co-writes a lot of her songs (which may to some extent be a vanity credit, I'll concede, obviously a lot of that goes on, but she may well contribute something way beyond just performance of the song to enhance its creation)

And frankly, where would all the other musicians on a Kylie track be without her vocal performance on it? (Stock Aitken Waterman would still be massively famous and wealthy from their other artists, but IIRC their song without a separate singer didn't do so well either...)

An iconic 32-year career with 51 UK top 40s, 34 UK top 10s and 7 UK number 1s making her the 12th best-selling singles artist and the 3rd best-selling female artist in UK history. I'd say that's legendary status, right there. Age is irrelevant.

Spot on.

I think people get too hung up on the wording, for me the Sunday afternoon slot is one for a well known (usually poppy) artist to come along and play a few tunes that everyone knows and remembers from their youth  and can have a bit of fun and a dance to. Nothing bigger or more serious than that.

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's big and serious enough. It's often the highlight of the weekend.

^^ this!

I think those stats make her more than qualified for the legend slot!

She's going to nail it.

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

I do wonder if she'll get the crowd of some other legends. There isnt the novelty factor of other.

I dont mean they were novelty acts. I mean Kylie will have been seen before by a lot of the crowd & isnt a hetitage act in the same way Dolly for example is.

Ill be there & Im sure 60 thousand others will be too. Dolly got many more. I didnt watch Lionel, I was mooching about, but I think he did too from memory of seeing it on iplayer.

It'll be rammed.  She's been a cultural fixture for pretty much the last 30 years.
