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… Edited November 11, 2022 by sadimmock Typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited November 11, 2022 by sadimmock Making myself look less of a twat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffWanderer Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Smokey Robinson (still touring) and Al Green (not so much) are two soul legends I'd love to see in this slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranquility of Solitude Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 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.

chazwwe Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 Joni would be a phenomenal choice, not a party but I don't think there would be a dry eye across the whole field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Girl Posted November 12, 2022 Report Share Posted November 12, 2022 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.
