But also incredibly unlikely given his seeming reluctance to leave North America these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it, we're now more than 10 years on from his last proper gig, and more than 15 years since his last actual tour or appearance outside the USA.

I think the general public kind of forgets the amount of songs they would recognise, even if from being sampled elsewhere. If not, they would make an incredible other stage headliner against Dua or Coldplay 20-30 years ago they would have been a big draw, but I think they'd not get a big crowd on the Pyramid, much like Robert Plant & Alison Krauss a few years back. Not helped by the fact they rarely play most of their hits (Do It Again, Rikki Don't Lose that Number, Haitian Divorce etc). Last time I saw them it was like being at a convention for retired chartered accountants rather than a rock gig. They'd be a fantastic West Holts headliner though, but whether they'd take a slot like that is another thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I had wondered about Steely Dan, but at the same time, I'm afraid I cannot see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernSoul52 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Still think we need Bryan Adams in this slot pronto. Get on it for 2025, folks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stokesy10 Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Eagles are far too big, right? (don't shoot me). They're not a typical GF headline booking, but surely not a fit for legend slot any time soon? Aware they're an enormous act, I love them and it'd be great to see them on the farm. Just can't place them anywhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkete Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 (edited) I think we get mentions of the eagles every page or two, but given their gig tickets cost a big chunk of what we pay for the entire festival it seems entirely implausible, plus of course there's never been the tiniest hint of a rumour and they're on their farewell tour.

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 There is also intel that the conversation has happened in the past, with both parties coming to the conclusion that a compromise would never happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On The Blend Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Actually baffling that real human beings would pay that much to see the fkin eagles, man. The most middle of the road, pedestrian tunes imaginable. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Depends when the conversation was, I guess. I would have begged it to be Glenn or Don. But then the prices for Don's solo tour a few years ago were pretty reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it's something of a collective decision. In that they absolutely hate being in the same room as each other, and therefore will only do so when the money is too big to turn down.

West Holts headliner? They sometimes throw an old band on like the Jackson’s and Brian Ferry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 On 1/25/2024 at 3:24 PM, Long Season said: Ah yeah, fair points. I suppose I've misjudged their size. I was surprised to see they were supporting the Eagles tbf as I've always thought the dan to be huge, though they would still definitely pull a huge crowd imo not really steely dan, i think there's a strong chance they're a michael favourite, which he'll try to get booked - expect them in an odd spot if so - like brian ferry as west holts headliner.
