I saw something the other day suggesting Alanis Morissette is building a tour. She's still my no1 female performer

Stevie Nicks please Glasto gods 🙏🙏

 

[Chapple12345]

I'd say Stevie too. Glasto have made no secret of wanting to have Fleetwood Mac play and with them seemingly done now after the passing of Christine McVie it would be a great compromise of sorts. Also Edge of Seventeen on the Pyramid would go off

[FloorFiller]

A Stevie set heavy on Mac covers (she’s playing five on her current tour) would go down very well. Can’t say I’m familiar with too much of her solo stuff, but there’d be enough hits there to deliver the sing alongs and guarantee a good set. 

[The Nal]

Stevie would be much better in the dark.

[incident]

So, given that the only solid info we have is "female" -

Cher
Stevie Nicks
Joni Mitchell
Carole King
Gladys Knight
Annie Lennox

Any other obvious contenders?

I think she played up against Coldplay in 2016 but how about Cyndi Lauper? Enough hits for a fun hour and fits in with the general vibe of the legends slot, surely?

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. 

Yeah probably unlikely, there was rumours a few years ago Eurythmics were gonna tour but nothing came of it 😭

Shania Twain - has said recently how much she wants to do it, and is active

Totally forgot about Shania, she would fit perfect in a tea time slot

Not obvious at all but Carly Simon for one last tour.

Maybe she could bring on Jagger.

Stevie Nicks would be great. I saw Stevie support Tom Petty at Hyde Park and she would have no problem putting together a classic hour of Mac and solo hits which some people maybe surprised they know. This will be the closest the Eavii get to having Mac on the farm after the sad passing of Christine McVie.

[JonSnow]

Stevie Nicks would be fantastic.

I'm sure she would get the memo similar to Noel G last summer and lean heavy on the crowd pleasing Fleetwood Mac 'covers' alongside her bigger solo numbers

[The Nal]

Stevies setlists are solid

Shania probably isn’t legend material but teatime Saturday would work, like Mary J Blige a few years back

So Shania Twain mid Saturday where maybe Aerosmith would have played and Nicks Sunday Legend spot.

[Gnomicide]

Shania is 100% Legend Slot material.

Gladys is busy on the Sunday, so she's out.

[Stokesy10]

Some great names in the mix. 

Shania would obliterate it. Legend material without a shadow of doubt. An hour set of her absolute bangers and power ballads? Yes please.

I was obsessed with Come on Over album at school. A constant in my portable cd player.

Stevie Nicks locked in. 

[kalifire]

It was only earlier this year that Shania was publicly courting the Eavii...

"It’s on my wish list – absolutely,” Twain told NME about one day filling that gap in the Glasto bill. “So I’ll make sure I do that. It’s a legendary thing, I know, but it’s on my wish list".

Annie Lennox would be great.
