Not sure Legends is quite right personally just stick her on a decent pyramid slot. True of the half the names that get suggested. Folk like Willie Nelson, Don McLean, CSN, Burton Bacharach, etc didn't play the Legend Slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's at that Lovers and Friends thing in Vegas. I watched her at Brighton pride this year and she was incredible! Her voice live in person was insane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to hear all the old Police songs on a sunny afternoon Was about to suggest this. Trying to have a look at what kind of venues Dianna Ross played last year and the list is Lionel Ritchie (no), Peter Gabriel or Sting (Jamiroquai & Blondie both at Lytham festival too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd write him off. We just got Lytham tickets for that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"They" plead with you not to share videos and honestly, once you're in there it's so engrossing and impressive that 99% of punters realise that a video would never do it justice anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG92 Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 (edited) Do a Tool. Boot people out for trying to film 90% of the show but then let get the last one as it's unenforceable anyway. Absolute treat watching a band without a sea of phones waving around in front of you. Also quite fun watching people ejected for ignoring the literally thousands of signs plastered everywhere about not filming.

Beerqueen Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 Was browsing Spotify and saw that someone had a "Glastonbury 2023 Rumours" playlist and was excited to see 10cc on there and thought I'd missed a rumour. Loved them as a kid and they were excellent when I saw them a couple of years back and would be great at the festival (whether legend slot or not). Then I saw the playlist also had Bruce Springsteen, Rihanna, Robbie, Billy Joel, Muse and Blur - so I think I'll lower my excitement!

Jose Pose Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 The thing that blows my mind about Abba voyage is how long it’s been going, how far into the future you still can book for and how much tickets still are. An actual act could never sell that many dates for that much money, so I guess it’s more like theatre than a gig in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't checked this thread in a few days but his tour schedule of England v Wales at the World Cup to appearing on The Last Leg and then Butlins Skegness in the same week last November is pretty manic. Not least all on the one hit song. Though tbf he was quite good on TLL as a stand-in for an unwell Josh Widdicombe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Lol Creme perform with Trevor Horn and band a few years ago. Him, Matt Cardle and the singer from Marillion (not Fish) doing Horn written and produced songs by Bowie, Grace Jones, Seal, Frankie etc, but also 10CC songs. Pretty good show and perfect for an afternoon on the pyramid, no matter what day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
