Occasionsally this an interesting lesson in acts who were one hit wonders in Ireland but made no splash whatsoever in the UK.

au contraire Robbie Nevil's debut album got all the way to 93 in the UK!

Since we can't have Prince I say we get the next best thing, namely Bobby Nevil

How about Richie Kavanagh?  not sure Nal will share that one, but must have caused a stir here too

Bob has never played the festival. He'd have 100k bopping to this. Security doing the wavy hand dancing bollocks. Peeps pissing into bottles down the front.

C'est la Vie by Bob-Nev was a US #2! And #3 in the UK. A global megastar.

Fair enough - that one's certainly slipped down the memory hole.

[Dreamingofsunnydays]

What about Barry Mannilow?

He has a GSH in his Las Vegas residency?

[CaledonianGonzo]

He certainly should be in their shortlist.  We might get lucky.

I'd rather see Elton

Jesus Christ I mean they play him to detainees in Guantanamo as torture don’t they?

 

needless to say I’d avoid THAT one like the plague

[CaledonianGonzo]

We're on page 142 of this thread and he's been mentioned since page 1.

[jannybruck]

His last tour struggled to shift as it was post-lockdown and he's not announced anything here for the summer (they'd almost certainly want dates on sale pre-Christmas), so I think it's proabbly a no for Baz this time.

[SheffJeff]

Over the last couple of days I've been looking at some of the artists I think would do an amazing legend set and it's amazing how many 'legends' I was unaware were dead... been quite an emotional rollercoaster!

Yeah, I don't really see it either. He'd want to wrap it up with other dates.

Bit like watching the 2000 Royal Rumble

What side of the right/wrong Bazza fence is Manilow on? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

He used to be WrongBazza - but he's now been reborn as RightBazza II.

I'd love Erasure to play one year, i'm sure I read an article from Andy Bell saying that they've never been asked. Seem's very odd given their back catalogue, and lots of pop acts getting the nod on the farm these days!

Andy Bell is headlining the three rewind festivals this summer.

Any Bazza in a storm

[ClementsMike]

I reckon it will have to be female , either solo or band , not just on the diversity front but also , a male ‘old’ star will end looking like a pound shop Relton. 
 

No realistic ideas beyond 4/5 Spices to be honest.

It does seem odd Erasure haven’t played, they have a huge back catalogue of hits, they’ve always been excellent fun live and they’re still putting out new music.. some of the new tunes are really good. A greatest hits set would go down a storm surely. 

Not that odd as they don't do many shows.

Didn't she already do that? Or did she just have a set.

I remember seeing it and she was a bit shit tbh. Voice gone.

Yes 2014 on The Other. They weren’t great. I remember we had stumbled across a Blondie tribute at another festival a month before and we decided the tribute were a lot better. 

[henry bear]

Saw this list on FB, good list of potential Legends, but also brings home how little time we have left to see musicians from this generation 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Was Keith Richards excluded cos they assume he's immortal?

[giantkatestacks]

Where's Joni on that list?
