MEGABOWL Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 I’m not a fan of the Legend slot personally but, having not given the Spice Girls a thought in years I’ve just looked at their singles and they would smash it to bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any act bigger than Spice Girls would likely want to headline. When did we last have a stadium act in the legend slot? Have we ever? Would be a massive booking.

Guy Incognito Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Spice Girls would be a great booking for the Legend Slot. I'd be elsewhere though. Missing Diana Ross was among the best decisions I made this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Yeah, can't remember ever seeing a headline act in the Legends slot. DiRo Kylie Barry Gibb Dolly Tom Jones ... Maybe James Brown? At a push... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Was right at the front for Tom. I've never seen a video of his performance and didn't know the crowd was so huge behind us. https://youtu.be/sT7VcSAtl7Y Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 This is the natural evolution for the legend slot though. Once they run out of typical acts to do it, it will become just a 4th headline slot. A headline slot that takes place during the day.

Didnt the spice girls last couple if tours just kind of disappear? You might as well say take that. Bizarrely i reckon Robbie could (25 year tour etc) but not Take That Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmarks Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Paul Simon. He would be a headliner at most festivals. Johnny Cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie_corrigan Posted July 12, 2022 Report Share Posted July 12, 2022 Mate went to see Duran Duran at bst and is convinced that they’d smash it out the park and after seeing the set list.

DiRo Kylie Barry Gibb Dolly Tom Jones ... Maybe James Brown? At a push... Kylie was supposed to headline 15 years prior. That still counts for something as I doubt nobody wouldve thought she didnt deserve to headline with the set she put on. And that Duran Duran set has been the same thing theyve been doing for the last 15 years apart from slotting in a few newer tracks from albums theyve put out.
