I reckon 80% of Glastonbury don't even know who he is.

Prob about as famous in the UK for a meme with Kaitlin Jenner (or whichever Jenner it was) at a basketball game as his music.

Returning from having lost my password again to say, inspired by Elton, I'd take Billy Joel for Sunday, Clive. (Big argument over whether he is better suited to seventy-five minutes as a legend or two hours as an outright headliner though.)

Either way:

1 Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)
2 My Life
3 Zanzibar
4 Vienna
5 The Entertainer
6 Just the Way You Are
7 An Innocent Man
8 Movin' Out (Anthony's Song)
9 Don't Ask Me Why
10 The Longest Time
11 New York State of Mind
12 Big Shot
13 Allentown
14 The River of Dreams
15 Scenes from an Italian Restaurant
16 We Didn't Start the Fire
17 Uptown Girl
18 It's Still Rock and Roll to Me
19 You May Be Right
20 Only the Good Die Young
21 Piano Man

No Pressure?!

I'd only need that song and Karl Urban turning up as a special guest and I'd be front and centre.

Nope. Not enough for Billy Joel either.

Technically, they sold out a reduced capacity day at BST.

Legend slot if you must.

Preferably stick him out of the way somewhere, maybe Acoustic.

☺️ Good one

2013? Time warp, let's go.

Many people would like to use a time machine to see the ancient empires or the future, but f**k it, why not go back 10 years to see a gig that looked like fun but you didn't attend?

At reduced capacity whilst pushing it every single day!! Absolutely no chance of them headline Glastonbury

Ezra collective have won the mercury and radio four were immediately bigging them up as a potential future glasto headliner as a consequence of winning.

The parochial nature of fame is so funny to me, I’ve literally heard of no-one on the top two lines other than the Saturday subs.

[NorthernSoul52]

The only one I feel nailed on - bearing in mind I have missed a few months' worth of discussion here - is Dua Lipa. I have no idea if she's around, if she's game, whatnot or whatever, but just feels like the one.

[CaledonianGonzo]

She'll be game.

Looking at the previous winners, AM are the only ones to go on and headline Glasto.

What are we saying then, Nickelback, Diplo and Wiz Khalifa with Guy Fieri in the Legends slot?

[CaledonianGonzo]

The thought of Diplo's Honky Tonk is giving me the heebie-jeebies.

Unfortunately I cant see him touring his 2022 album 'Un Verano Sin Ti' for a second year so we will likely have to wait for the next album before he headlines the Pyramid.

A shame as this was his most commercially successful album peaking at 62 in the Uk album charts, so out of his back catalogue has the most songs we all know and love.

While it is clear and obvious he is on an upwards trajectory (smart money is on is next album cracking the top 50) I do worry that a lot of the iconic Un Verano Sin Ti songs will get shelved from his setlist when he inventively headlines.

Excellent post

would be mad if he got a lil nas x slot - he is probably the size for it just not on paper

he needs to actually tour in the uk at some point so we can actually see how he sells here, certainly could do 2 o2 nights i reckon

Yeah. The Mercury Music Prize isn't a great barometer for making it big, the kind of status at least to headline. There's plenty of nearly-men/women on there and a lot who sank.

The year is 2182.

Global warming has devastated the planet to the point only six thousand humans remain. Two AI armies are engaged in a catastrophic 100 year war. The Tories enter their 31st consecutive term as the ruling party of the Uk. Manchester City have just lifted their 158th league title in a row with Erling Haaland jnr jnr banging in 92 goals in 30 games. Fast and Furious 53 is this summers major blockbuster.

Suprafan is still arguing on efestivals that acts significantly bigger in the Usa than the Uk should headline Glastonbury festival.
