This is a great legend booking. I’ve gone from assuming Barry Manilow and assuming I’ll be elsewhere to absolutely thrilled. I was expecting her in 2017 so great to see they’ve finally got her. Also surely this is the earliest announcement ever? Was not expecting that this morning!

Diana Ross is the perfect legend slot booking. After being rather cynical of these things previously - the joy of Lionel and Dolly persuaded me otherwise. DR will smash it. Bigger crowd than Dolly? 

Will be the smallest of the recentl legend’s mega crowd IMO. By a comfortable margin.

What if Barry Gibb, Nile Rogers also popped out. 
 

like some sort of super legends slot

Nile Rodgers wrote Chris Martin's textbook on popping up in places.  He tried to turn up when I opened a new jar of coffee this morning. Be amazed if he doesn't appear for at least one track.

If Bazza appears for Chain Reaction too, you might see a grown man finally explode.

Be smaller than Kylie, but will be bigger than Geoff Lynne and possibly Bazza.  On a par with Lionel I reckon.

@SwedgeAntilles reminded me of ELO, had totally forgotten him/them. She should get bigger than that. Don’t think she’ll get anywhere near LR size though.

Think Macca is bigger than that, think he’d close the festival on Sunday with ME on stage and a video of the full Beatles and all that sort of thing. The Cure last year was a bit of a damp squib when they ended wasn’t it 

No. And it was this year.

I missed this year but are you saying Kylie was a bigger crowd than Lionel?

People were stood up to 5 tents back at the back of the field. It was crazy!

Dunno.  I mean, they're the same era, had a final song people know about the same time in the mid-80s, and if anything Diana's got more "known" tracks if you chuck in the Supremes-era stuff as well.

Aside from Hello and Dancing on the Ceiling, a lot of people didn't have loads of Lionel tracks in their minds before the set. A lot of people I spoke to were amazed at how many they knew afterwards.

Could go either way, but I really wouldn't be amazed by it being in the same ball park.
