Ringo!! Yes please. That would be "Grrreat"

No. No it wasn't.  Arguably the Foo Fighters did it this year.

I think that was more the "friends of the festival looking for an excuse to play" slot.

Agreed. It was knowingly tenuous.

I'm less convinced by that list for a number of reasons - either lack of suitability (Sting, Jimmy Page, Eddie Vedder), lack of hits (Joan Jett) or just because it would be a plain bad idea (Ringo Starr).

Cher, Stevie Nicks and Billy Joel I'll give you.

....can you imagine the absolute scenes on the Pyramid when Ringo and Lukather pull Africa out their bag of tricks?

Ringo still counts as a solo artist if his all-star band do the heavy lifting right? 🤣

Put It Where You Want It needs to be added to that setlist

No. Beatles talk. But I knew someone would mention Tony 🐯

And he could do a secret set in the kids field reading Thomas the tank engine.   Or on the railway line😉

Thought he had killed himself shortly after the advert aired. Must’ve been a vicious Catholic school rumour.

 

edit: just actually read the article. Holy sh*t.

When did the Sunday tea-time slot start to be called the "Legends" slot? 

When I started going to Glastonbury in 1998 my understanding was that the Sunday tea-time slot was an act that Michael Eavis' wife would particularly like. I don't recall the word Legend being used then

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I think the festival only started using it for the first time pretty recently.  Maybe for Kylie...?

As you say, it was called the Teatime Slot.

[Gnomicide]

Diana Ross's announcement in 2020 was the first time it was officially called the Legends Slot.

Up to (and including) Kylie, it was the Sunday Teatime Slot.

As if by magic, E-vis with some retrospective rebranding

She's not wrong though.

Ray's 2010 set was absolute class!

Let's have...

Sting
Stevie Nicks
Annie Lennox
Daryl Hall
Ringo Star
Don Henley
Michael McDonald
Joni Mitchell
Santana
Jimmy Page
Eddie Vedder
Billy Joel
Ozzy Osbourne
Alice Cooper
Iggy Pop
Cher
Joan Jett
Chaka Khan
Cindy Lauper

Sting did a late afternoon set in 1997.

Pretty sure it was the Sunday as the mud had almost dried up and people were pelting mudballs at him.

He did an admirable job batting them off with his guitar, but I don't think he's been in any kind of hurry to come back.

Incase those people from the 90s are waiting for him?

Without being too rude, those people are now further back in the field largely and far less likely to be able to lob a mud ball any kind of distance!

Saw this in a restaurant in Tuscany. 

 

He could nail it with a shortened version of this

https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/sting/2023/stade-des-burgondes-saint-julien-en-genevois-france-63a4a60f.html

In a world where we're talking about headliners like Coldplay, Rhianna, 1975, Florence, Taylor, Dua Lipa, Olivia Rodrigo, Harry Styles, Foos, Sam Fender etc - all mostly abysmal - the bloke from the Police could easily do an hour.
