They get mentioned, but to date nothing more. Personally, I think they are too big for the legend slot, and actually too new. Even Kylie has the best part of a decade on them. But the thought of them headlining is a bit depressing. I don't think they're all that bad, but if we go down this incredibly popular pop route then Robbie Williams, Girls Aloud and Little mix (who all have done stadia I think) could follow and then I think the character of the festival changes.

 

Fully Agree. 
My opinion, the Spice Girls could do that pop slot that Katy Perry did in 2017

Reg  is still trying to sell tickets for his tour, mind you at the price of them that’s not surprising.  I would imagine any Glastonbury appearance won’t be announced for some time yet.

they can't be going that badly, he's just announced another 2 shows for the O2.

Eltons tickets flew off when first announced and the amount of dates he's doing on the tour in the UK alone is insane! Even at the crazy prices they have been selling extremely well (I'm going to one of the Birmingham dates for £100 a seat)

A lot left for Glasgow , that’s where I was looking. Cheapest 170 quid.

If he's still got a lot to sell, that maybe boosts the chances of him doing the G.

Its The Kinks.

I'd kill for it to be Annie Lennox.  

She does't play much anymore (although she just did something in London i think?).  And she's surely a legend.

i'd say there's probably not so many left if the cheapest left are £170.

I wonder if Glastonbury would then be great PR for any remaining tickets for his tour? 

[Avalon_Fields]

I was at a Neil Tennant event today, he was asked if the Pet Shop Boys were playing Glastonbury and the legend slot.

He said they’d consider playing at the festival again, but they only play in the dark so that rules them out of the legends slot.

....doesn’t mean he’s being truthful of course

Barry Manilow now on BBCRB1 

legends slot...yes please ?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Does seem to throw a bit of doubt on the Shoppies.

Queen have the 27th free, you rekon they would fly Colgne, Germany to Glastonbury then to Zurich, Switzerland, I know Adam Lambert is no Freddie but it would be a good show

Would be great, but I bet they wouldn't do anything less than headlining. I'd be happy with them as headliners tbh.

Not sure if he's been mentioned before, but I'd enjoy John Fogerty on the legend slot. He doesn't have the same feel good vibe as Dolly/Kylie/Lionel/Barry, but he does have the hits. It would be more in line with ELO.

Following on from the chat in the Headliner thread who could be in the frame for next year?

Off the top of my head possible candidates could include...

Pet Shop Boys

Cher

Duran Duran

Barry Manilow

Diana Ross (travel permitting)

Shania Twain

Cliff

Who else?

Any rules regarding if they’ve played before or not?

Was going to say Diana Ross was a dead cert for 2017 at one point if I remember correctly

[kingcrawler]

Delighted with that

[UEF]

Chain Reaction featuring Barry Gibb, calling it now 

 

Come to think of it, that man’s written another big legends slot song in recent years... can anyone name it?
