I wonder why Alicia Keys has never played the farm? Same with Erykah Badu.

IIRC Alicia Keys was heavily rumoured for 2020. She obviously wouldn't be playing the legends slot, mind. Nor would Badu.

Annie Lennox would be absolutely brilliant, with Erasure on before her.

What's better than Cher deploying her bangers?

Why, Cher deploying her bangers but also tacking Stop The Cavalry and I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day onto the setlist:

 

[Lycra]

Strong rumour it's John Otway 😉

Not that I'd bother, but that would be lovely.

Really mess with the heads of the "picnic blanket posse".

Thinking along those lines, how about Aphex Twin.

[CaledonianGonzo]

And how about Slayer to headline West Holts, 100 Gecs to headline the Acosutic Stage and Belle and Sebastian to headline The Temple!!!!

A man can dream.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It would really mess with the heads of the real-ale swilling coffin dodgers / world music listening pseuds / drooling gurners who'd just as easily rave to the sound of someone banging pots and pans together (delete as appropriate)

The ideal candidate. Perfectly embodies what the slot is about.

people round 'ear kicked off at the thought of roxy music but bob would be much more dull.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Think I was referring to Cher.

Bob isn't right for it.

[NorthernSoul52]

Cher would go down gangbusters, but got to get the set right. Bring back Just Like Jesse James, and you're onto a winner.

1 Woman's World
2 Strong Enough
3 All or Nothing
4 The Beat Goes On
5 I Got You Babe
6 Welcome to Burlesque
7 After All
8 Walking in Memphis
9 The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s in His Kiss)
10 Just Like Jesse James
11 I Found Someone
12 If I Could Turn Back Time
13 Believe

Plenty of other bangers, plus the ABBA covers, but she does love a between-song natter, so not sure you'd get many more - if even thirteen - into seventy-five minutes. (I still vote Bryan Adams, mind you.)

Eric Clapton is playing at the new Arena in Manchester in May, he's doing a few shows until the end of May. Might be a possibility.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Popular Eric they call him, a guy that everyone has loads of affection for and simply just loves to see.

[The Nal]

Yearly call for Eric. Ridiculous hes never played

Fairly understandable at Glasto really...

Rod Stewart has announced some dates in Europe in june and july. Also a festival at Luca in Italy.

I do wonder if they'll go for a more rock orientated legend next year, what with the headliners looking to be the most pop orientated in years (if not ever).
