but now Metallica have done Glasto we could have Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and AC/DC. All are legend status
Also you missed out the Floyd after Pink. ;-)
For me I think Fleetwood Mac but maybe Willie Nelson
Legend slot, all of those could probably headline.
My suggestions would be, Glen Campbell but unfortunately after being diagnosed with Alzheimers that is not going to happen. Potentially Don Williams or Loretta Lynn, but I think Lionel Richie. LR I would say will be next years.
Not a massive fan of her music but a broad and recognisable back catalogue to get the crowd going and legendary enough to command attention.
Chris Issak would be my choice, but he's possibly too sombre for it. As Dolly said, you can't play a bunch of sad songs to a pissed up, stoned audience !
.... But who, for most of that career, would have been perceived as uncool by the Glastonbury generation.
By "Glastonbury generation" I mean festival fans who were alive when the Glasto festival started. Old enough now to be more open to and appreciative of different genres of music, even though they may not be to one's particular taste.
Disclaimer: the above is all a massive generalisation.
ETA: I got one. How about Tony Bennett?
Haha, did somebody say Bowie? He'd be a dream headliner! Probably wouldn't do it now though.
Neil Diamond was there 3 or 4 years ago.
Great band, all the way back to the 60's.
Was he? Missed that.
Does it have to be a first timer? I suppose that's best.
How about Barry Gibb? He did a solo tour, I think it was late last year. A bit of Bee Gees music would be great for an afternoon dance!
Maybe Paul Rodgers or Bad Company, although he/they could probably get a different billing.
Please NO to Mariah Carey though... I'm all for diversity at festivals, but for me she embodies pretty much everything that Glastonbury is NOT about!
He probably wouldnt hang around to give out autographs afterwards though......
Cher would be a headline act..not the legends spot.
