Time to dust off my Cher outfit.  That should clear a bit of space in the field

Too late. Plus you've actually met me so you can picture it. 

 

Enjoy your nightmares.

While its definitely too early in 25, I wonder if Glastonbury would consider the reformed Linkin Park as a headliner. 

 

They will almost certainly do a Download first but if the reunion proves popular it might be another act that could enter the shrinking headliner pool.

 

 

Everyone keeps talking about a LP reunion. But without the only member that actually mattered, a reunion seems like a weird naming.

 

More like a series of celebratory shows with a new singer singing their old songs... but that's not Linkin Park.

Cher without a doubt is legend material and has the hits. Can she still sing though?

 

Despite the fact people had a good time at some of the previous legend slots.....for me some of them have been a bit naff. Big fan of Dolly but she didn't sound great. Not entirely sure she was singing live for parts of it either. Diana Ross and Shania both had a really hard time too. Sound issues plus the fact they struggled with their voice. 

 

I'm all for a legend slot if the act still has it. In fact I think the best one for a while was probably Lionel and I like his music the least of all the recent ones to do it. But he at least can still perform and hold a tune which massively helped. 

 

My favourite I have attended is still probably Shirley Bassey back in 2007 though. She could still belt out those high notes.

 

They are kind of running out of bonafide legends now too so Cher is definitely a good choice I'd say.

Lots of talk of Cher and the Legends slot this morning.

 

That would be a stellar booking if true.  I suspect it's untrue.

Are we thinking more 80s Cher (lots of black and very revealing) or more modern Vegas-Cher - more covered up but like a walking firework?

I mean, if I were Emily Cher would absolutely be my #1 target - so great stuff.

 

Yep, she's very much in the "next chance to get her is probably also the last chance" club, and while that sounds cynical, it's exactly where the priority should be for the next few years.

Though actually, it looks like the original source for this was The Sun, so considering their accuracy rate over the past few festivals I'm not going to get my hopes up on this one.

These events sound more like PA's than shows don't they?

Justin Timberlake 😄

Bodes well for Alanis mind - and keeps O-Rod on the game board.

My god that's a depressing festival line up. 😂

ah i see what you mean - they definitely could enter the pool if they stick around

Is a Linkin Park reunion with a new singer a definite thing for next year?

Tool's presence on the Lolla Brazil line-up really sticks out like a sore thumb.

Really hope Teddy can give Barry some pointers while they're in South America together.

Lady Gaga single dropping at some point in October.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Was just about to post that.  Still don't see it TBH, but it gives some cause for hope.

Was just thinking that. Weird as f**k.

Still would love them to do Glasto but the only slot they could feasibly do would be other headline and I think they're a bit niche for that sadly.

Just realised they're doing all 3 of the Lolla South Americas. For some reason I thought they were only doing Brazil, which has happened in the past where Sao Paolo's had an extra headliner.

 

Still doesn't reduce the weirdness of it all though.

its not Chester which is the most important thing. This is a bit different than Prodigy moving forward without Kieth or Kasabian just doing it without Tom. Chester made the band. LP is gonna do Download and the like. Less risk for them thats for sure.
