If she couldn't sell out The Piece Hall in Halifax, I don't think she's got the size to justify.

 

But aye.

Wow really 

 

People are truly weird indeed. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah. I got a ticket reduced to £25 the week before, direct from Ticketmaster, and even then, it only shifted about 4,000 for a 6,000 cap venue. Bonkers.

[Suprefan]

Duran Duran or Robbie.

 

 

Grace Jones isnt the best to have in the day time anyway. And I dont think you want that much nudity in the daylight.

[Olshansky]

still really want Annie Lennox 

[Dales]

Got to be Cher all day.

 

I think Robbie would still see himself as an outright headliner. Although, that might change a little by 2027.

He doesnt.  He's on record at least twice saying he wants to do the Legend slot.

[nikkic]

Get Cher in next. 

Robbie has plenty of time to do it. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Annie Lennox would be outstanding. Great notices for her RAH show the other night, and I think if you convinced her that it could double as a platform for her charity work too, she might be a goer.

The one I'd really love to see, but probably never going to happen, is Carole King

[SticklinchJoe]

I can see it being Robbie Williams.

[NorthernSoul52]

Carole King one of those probably out of reach, sadly.

Robbie remains the ultimate legend slot act imo, if we’re going to use recognisability, party atmosphere, and crowd participation as context, which is what that slot is all about. 
 

Sure you can get a Cher or a Lennox or a Nicks and all three deserve to be there more, but none of them would get a party going like Williams. And I don’t say that as his biggest fan, but let’s just be real about it.  

[NorthernSoul52]

I know tax dodges and all that jazz, but Take That would also be a hoot.

 

Intriguingly, a Take That reunion with Robbie - though not Jason Orange - probably is headliner material for me.

She’s my white whale. The one that would get me to brave the Pyramid on a Sunday afternoon.

I absolutely agree. I can’t stand him or his music, his face alone irritates me in a really fundamental way. But he would be incredible in that slot.

[NorthernSoul52]

My mum is like that. Loves his tunes, but the mere sight of him disturbs her.

Woah, I did not know that. That's a big name to have in your back pocket to call on and know he is up for it.
