Been listening to Roxy again based on this discussion. Sorry but the amount of bangers they have is simply ridiculous.

That’s not what I said is it. I said if the criteria is now - has some poppy hits and will draw an enormous crowd, it now opens the slot up to another 50 odd acts.

But it isn’t is it? To qualify for the Legends slot you also have to, and this is the tricky part, be a legend. 
S Club 7 aren’t going to be doing it anytime soon

So the Spice Girls are legends then? What is your definition of a legend?

[shuttlep]

would Guns and Roses count as a Legend?

 

I am struggling these days to think of anyone alive who would do it. Obvs Tina Turner would  draw the biggest crowd of the weekend, alas she doesn't want to do fuck all any more. cant say I blame her

[henry bear]

Spice Girls very much fall into the category. Hugely iconic, huge sales (best-selling girl group of all time and one of the best-selling British groups since the Beatles), multi award-winning. The fact that I, and many others, can’t stand their music is irrespective

But do you really?

There are fart less true legends in the game than most would think, and most of them are dead.

I can only think of one actual legend who has played that slot - Johnny Cash, and that may have been before it was a specific slot.

So basically, you personally have to like them before they can be deemed a legend. 🙄

Diana Ross is a certified legend. I don’t think you can doubt that.

[4AssedMonkey]

Actual "Legends" by any definition you like that are still performing and would NAIL this slot: -

• Billy Ocean
• Annie Lennox (inc. Eurythmics catalogue)
• Billy Joel
• Duran Duran.

Can't think of any more really.  I'm not sure I'd put Bon Jovi or GnR in that bracket.  Anyone else is probably headliner or nothing - Elton John, Depeche Mode, Fleetwood Mac etc.

Still think it's Steps.

Nope.  Me too.  And Mr Eavis by all accounts.

[Andy0808 v5]

Kidz Bop for the legend slot.

[downtherabbithole]

Abba would be the ultimate legend slot. Below them you'd have Cher, Tina Turner etc... Below that tier you'd get acts like Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Robbie Williams and Spice Girls. Obviously Fleetwood Mac would only be headliners, but them in the legend slot would be the stuff of dreams, no pun intended

I’ll be there too

[Zacko]

Duran Duran is the easiest win for this slot, and they would completely and utterly smash it, but see themselves as headliners only (from what I've read on here)

[Ommadawn]

Peter Gabriel is touring next year but the dates don't really fit.

Bob Dylan? Joni Mitchell? Neil Young? Van Morrison? Rod Stewart? David Gilmour? Not to suggest I think any of them will be doing this slot any time soon, but there’s plenty of artists who could readily be described as legends.

Van Morrison can get in the fucking sea, the miserable, old, anti-vax, conspiracy theory nutcase!

Agree, but still a music legend.

Nah, I got told yesterday by a good source that there's some live stuff planned over the next year. No idea how extensive but it's the 25th anniversary of Spiceworld.

To be honest I hadn't realised they had played together as recently as 3 years. 

These two were clearly not feeling charitable about it.
