Seen 12 or 13 off that pic. Kylie, Wilson, Lionel all fun. Couple of the other had moments. Majority shite.

Also seen 12, 7 good, 5 shite ratio for me.

Ha ha love it!
Those retro Glasgow Rangers tops as worn by Paul Gascoigne are collectors items nowadays. 😊😉.  Imagine the scenes in Glasgow if they wore those tops at a gig there.

INABS but get Duran Duran in

Failing that, what's Ringo up to?

Harry Shearer wears a Shrewsbury Town shirt in Spinal Tap.  There is a sign at the Shrewsbury stadium "Turn it up to 11".  Love it!

Yeh. One of his kids ran around the audience dressed as a Leprechaun at one of his recent Dublin shows.

I'd quite like to see Elvis Costello.

Elvis Costello going hard on the hits would be aces.

Obviously not a be-all and end-all but - maybe the best British artist of his generation to never hit #1 on the singles or albums chart? (I think he hit #2 a few times.)

Was it 2013 he last played? Have a vague memory of going along and having a great time but crowd felt very thin, might have just been good fortune that I turned up early enough to walk to near the front though. He'd be great to see again but not sure if he's graduated to legend if he didn't qualify last time around.

Sniff 'n' The Tears out with some new material this year.

Tight 60 in them. 100k at this. 

People up on shoulders with double flares. Lauren Laverne wetter than an otters wallet.

"My last full concerts in Britain" is curious wording...... 🤔

Could be very good news.

We've already had too many comedy acts on the Pyramid.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Quite right. Music shouldn't be fun.

Yup, on before Primal Scream.

Looks like he has a couple of dates in Vegas mid-June after these UK ones, but nothing to stop him coming back over I guess.

Emily has confirmed the Legend is female

 

 

[danbailey80]

So if female what are options?

Stevie Nicks? Who else?

 

[FloorFiller]

My head says Stevie, my heart says Cher. 

[Suprefan]

Shania Twain has nothing happening between the end of May and August next year....

Stevie would be brilliant, maybe Annie Lennox?

Need to see if any other Cher dates pop up in the calendar.

Does Annie even tour still? Looking at her recent setlists it looks like the most she’s done for a long time is some very short sporadic appearances here and there and nothing else, so unless she’s got plans to up and tour again I’d say she’s unlikely. 

[NorthernSoul52]

If it was Annie Lennox, that would be a barnstormer.

A shout for one I'd have considered too small before Cat Stevens was booked - but Cyndi Lauper? Not sure she'd fill the full time, but definitely has a handful of concentrated bangers.

That was the first name that jumped into my head
