Stay on these Roads, and The Sun Always Shines on TV are really good, my favourites, and I think those who only know the band for one song would be pleasantly surprised by the quality of some later albums like Foot of the Mountain. Never seen them live though. 

not to mention this beauty as well

Roxy Music have pretty much zero crossover appeal - there won't be anybody under the age of 40 there.

Which is fine, I guess. But it will be the quietest legends slot in years.

they might not have huge appeal, but they're a solid classic act, exactly the sort of act i expect to see in that slot.

Well I’ll be 34 and I’ll be there, but agree that around my age range is probably the lower limits and there won’t be much interest from many people younger. They don’t have any real big crossover hits that are radio staples like most previous Sunday legends - More Than This and Love is the Drug are the closest I guess but hardly songs that gen z are gonna care much about. I’ve no idea what the crowds were like for the likes of Kenny Rogers, Paul Simon, Ray Davies etc but I imagine it’ll be a similar size to those more dad rock-esque acts rather than the ginormo-crowds of the last few years.

Virginia Plain is the song that always gets played when they get a mention on the music docs isn't it?

I did hear Love is the Drug in an episode of Sex Education a year or so back, but that's probably about it for Gen Z appeal

Paul Simon was a ginormo-crowd. Ray and Kenny both more modest, although the former was impacted by being double-booked with the footie.

inspired by an advert, i just had a great idea for a band for the legends slot, slade would be excellent, loads of bangers, and a great opportunity to dress up. : D

According to wiki the only remaining original member is Dave Hill, so pretty pointless without Noddy.

And they have some good tunes, but zero bangers.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
