Hold on a sec!

Why is Elton John apparently suitable for Glastonbury, yet Billy Joel isn't?

Makes no sense to me, I'd have them in the same bracket re type of music.

Genuine question

Totally awful basic music for people who used to buy one CD a year in Tescos. Don’t even get me started on that rancid Regan-ite anthem he did…

There's always been such at Glastonbury.

it shouldn't be encouraged though... To be honest this is just my personal taste showing. I find his music absolutely appalling and vapid. However there a lot's of other "just always there" artists that I would welcome. I guess everyone's millage will vary.

True.

I just see no difference between the two of them.

Smokey Robinson (still touring) and Al Green (not so much) are two soul legends I'd love to see in this slot.

Al Green has already done it.

I once saw Elton and billy Joel play a stadium gig together, two stages , they took turns knocking out their bangers then did a joint appearance at the end. An enjoyable experience.

Both superb choices. Would very much be there for either of those.

I saw Elton with Eric Clapton at Wembley doing the same sort of thing. Fantastic.

I was also there for that but Joel was sick so it was just Elton on my night 

(I was 8 at the time, have I misremembered?)

We saw the gig in Ibrox stadium, Glasgow 1998, tour was called face to face .   Joel pulled out of the Wembley gig

True, but that was a looong time ago. He's my favourite singer of all time so should pull his finger out! 

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Not, perhaps, the party people are looking for, and far from the artist she once was, but, for me, this would be worth the ticket price by itself.

 

[4AssedMonkey]

It’s definitely Steps.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Joni Mitchell is no Faye Tozer.

[chazwwe]

Joni would be a phenomenal choice, not a party but I don't think there would be a dry eye across the whole field. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sorry, but Joni is cancelled for going blackface on the cover of Don Juan's Reckless Daughter.

This thread is wild. Do we actually have any credible guesses apart from Roxy? FWIW, I put them on to see what all the fuss was about and recognised loads of their songs! Deffo way more than Kenny Rogers and I totally got into him and loved it.

I find the Spice Girls a bit cringe and I can’t see Victoria agreeing to get on that stage for fear of massively embarrassed herself. Having said that I agree that it would be a great booking and I’d probably end up there after a few pineapple tequilas. 
 

So either is alright for me - it’s Glastonbury and I love it.

My prediction is that GNR are on legends slot, Roxy music subbing a mystery headliner 😇

Doubt the festival would risk the inevitable lateness of GnR. Would mess up the rest of the stage’s scheduling!

That’s true. It must be steps then

How many have you done today ?

Where has Steps rumour come from?
