Billy Ocean is a terrific bit of fun in concert.

I had a good old listen to Billy Ocean based on the chat in here a while back, and i just want Billy Ocean now. If not the legend slot, then have him headlining acoustic or avalon, or mid afternoon at the pyramid on friday, or wherever really - Need More Billy! NMB!

Edit- i've just been made aware that he has three lungs. All the more reason for him to play

The third lung is an extra pulmonary node central to his medically normal lungs

and I can’t believe i just googled can a human have three lungs! 😊

Huh! Learn something new every day!

Struggle to believe anyone will pull a bigger crowd than Elton John in his final British performance though. 

I keep seeing people say this - largely due, I think, to some sloppy journalism and headline sub editing in news on the topic. 

It's his last UK (and last) show *of his last ever tour*. NOT his last ever UK show. He could still play 30 nights at the O2 sometime as that would not be a tour. He is not retiring completely, just can't be arsed with arduous touring at his age, I guess.

Someone on another forum I'm on says that Cat Stevens and Blondie are playing. They thought that Blondie would be Sunday teatime, but I'd imagine it's Cat Stevens if it's between those two....

More likely that they would both play, but in other slots.

[NorthernSoul52]

Cat Stevens early on the Pyramid on the Saturday, Blondie early on the Other on the Friday.

Unless they are an exclusive somewhere, appear to be available for all three days. They're in Scarborough on the Thursday.

[Gnomicide]

Blondie are available but feels very uninspiring considering they've played the festival a couple of times before.

[NorthernSoul52]

A soft pick for this slot, absolutely.

Gutted we never made it back there in 2017 but think I'd peaked too soon. The guy said they had a few keg on the go and the  beer was free but they excepted donations 🍻

Ok, I’ll be first to say it. Awooga 🙃

Having consumed a few on my holiday from the comfort of this sofa so far, misread this as bear initially. Free beer marginally shades it for me.

Simon Le Bon is talking about Glastonbury in the Metro today, do we think this makes DD more or less likely for the legend slot this year?

"While 2023 is set to be busy with touring, there is one dream gig that the band are still waiting to be offered: ‘I’ve never been to Glastonbury. I made a promise to myself, I said I wouldn’t go until we got the right slot. I’m still holding out for it.’"

Doesn't sound promising for this year- but definitely tees them up nicely for 24 or 25.
