Yeah, she's got a few good tunes but nowhere near the likes of Dolly and Lionel. Certainly not one that I'll be getting to the Pyramid for unless there's nothing else really on.

Is this the earliest news such as this has been "confirmed" by a "reliable" source (I physically shuddered a bit writing that about The Sun) in a way that suggests its definite? 

I'm in Zambia at the moment for a Uni conference and a bit of a tagged-on jolly. My friend has clocked how many times I check e-festivals in our down time. At breakfast this morning he was like "get off the forum!" - "but it's T-Day announcement day and someone just may sort of announced Kylie as the legend act!" I think I just lost about 100 cool points. Or maybe gained them. Hard to say.

Acapella Snippets is my new forum name.

Going on eFests in front of uni mates is risky business. Last year I was on it one evening in my room and my flatmate came in without knocking - closed that shit quicker than if I was watching porn, which is probably what it looked like I'd been doing tbh.

So basically you were caught Glastobating?

Does he still make eye contact with you?

Chris Evans gave Kylie a quick mention this morning on Radio 2 that should would be doing the legends slot, although he was only quoting the current bun.

As she is still making new music don't really see her as a legend, but then again what does make certain acts legends?  The last few years those that have done the legend spot just seemed to have fit the bill, songs, age etc.

Most of the people who play that slot are still making new music. Kylie just so happens to be making new music that people care about/bothers the charts. Can’t say I was much of a fan of her newest country-tinged stuff but if she picks her setlist well it’ll be wall to wall bangers.

Aaahaha..amazing!

My approach has just been full disclosure. I tell everyone about it, while fully acknowledging how crazy it might appear. It means I can go "someone on efestivals says" x,y,z about some glastonbury rumour and then suddenly everyone forgets how crazy they think it is and just wants the gossip 

Also, if they're coming to Glasto with me they need to know in advance that I'm probably going to try and drag them to the efests meet up (unless I get so drunk I forget) and be randomly shouting out "efestivals!" whenever I see someone in one of the outfits I've seen on the fancy-dress thread

My old school friends who I go to Glasto with know I'm on here; I relay all the info to them and one or two of them check the rumours page themselves. Everyone else, I say nothing.

I keep trying to persuade my friend to join ... but he thinks he gets it all from fb .... at least he doesn't get to see the fancy dress before the event though ... I keep that for efest members to get the sneak previews everyone else has to wait until the farm

Really, whats missing on it for you? I thought she ticked off most the hits and didnt spend too much time on the new album which was nice.

Ah they were having some tech issues and Kylie was having to fill for that bit iirc

Confide In Me, aka her finest work.

Ah...fair enough I guess. But where's Better The Devil You Know at?

That setlist looks so much fun! I'll be shaking my golden hot pant clad ass all over the place!

[Bradders]

Should have Slow in there too.

[themuel]

She was amazing at Hyde Park last weekend, so much fun. 

[kalifire]

Up on the rumours page as a SR now... have you had any other info, Neil?

Kylie Minogue on a sunny Sunday afternoon at Glastonbury would be fabulous.

[henry bear]

I’m sure the music will fit the slot - lots of singalongs, maybe Jason Donovan, all served with a large portion of vintage fromage to a no-doubt enormous audience, but to me Kylie is stil young enough to have more hits. The legends spot tends to be for those from the musical equivalent of the senior competitions in tennis or golf.

Essential.

[Gucci Piggy]

Probably one of them that I'll see if nothing's on, same as Lionel and Gibbo. Have no doubts it'll be good fun, though.

It's difficult, because if for example she never released another record but turned up in 15 years time with exactly the same setlist, it'd be hailed as a fantastic booking for the slot - and odds are she'll put on a much better show now than she'll be capable of doing in 15 years. But I know what you mean about the expectations of the slot.

Whole field writhing around on picnic blankets.

[Avalon_Fields]

It's a winner as far as I can see: there will be a huge crowd for certain,  a plethora of catchy hits to satisfy even the casual listener, a lively stage show,  a good sing-a-long vibe, and will have many dressing up in celebration of Kylie!

nothing specific, although other general bits and pieces I know lead me to think it's more likely correct than wrong.
