Why?

For the reasons I stated in the post.

Then you might want to check when the legends slot is.

Madonna is one for certain.

She had to be.

Too big even now for the legends set.

Would be seem as a musical baton passing from her to Swift.

Which is what I think Elton was trying to do with his guests.

Add on that What's the story pisses all over sales wise anything Pink Floyd has done in the UK.

A bit trite...

Dark Side and What's the Story have similar sales figures, of course it's in the US that Floyd sold the most.

OK there's the official legends slot which is some very old timer eg Cat Stephens sunday afternoon.

Then there's the Sunday headliner slot where they always put a legend that's too big to be given the earlier slot (ie Elton John, The Who, The Cure, Stevie Wonder, Bowie in 2000, Kylie Minogue 2005 etc.)

Madonna isn't headlining on Friday or Saturday, that'll be kept for artists who are at the top of their game.

 

[BimboBob]

If two female headliners have been booked already, then probably Swift on Saturday night and Madonna (a la Reg) to close on Sunday with a spectacular show.

Just leaves a legends spot on Sunday afternoon and the Friday headliner act.

Neither Oasis reformed or Floyd fit that bill.

As this is just fantasy and conjecture I'll stick in Depeche Mode for Friday evening and have a 40 year old reunion ABBA for Sun at 6pm.

I’d love it to be Pink Floyd next year… Or any year to be fair before one of them croaks

If they manage to get Gilmour and co there, you could well see Kate Bush there too and that would be worth at least one testicle.

Springsteen for legends slot

 

[stonerblue]

i could have sworn it was 190 when i tried.... either which way. i wouldnt trust my memory.

I think I paid a tenner first time I went...

Like Taylor Swift in (cancelled) 2020? Or Kendrick Lamar last year? Or Ed Sheeran in 2017? There isnt such a thing as sunday night legends slot.

McCartney refused to be on Sunday, the rest are years when there was no obvious legend headliner.

If you really think you're right, I'm more than prepared to put a £10 Charity bet on it. If Madonna headlines she's on Sunday.

Lets make it a £100?

 

[stonerblue]

I'm happy to be wrong

It's just I'm an average drummer and can play his stuff but when it comes to bands like queen's of the stone age I'm lost!

He can drum a bit that geezer in qotsa

Taylor Swift would be the Sunday

Naaa...biggest name in pop at the mo deserves the big spot on Saturday...Madonna belting out hit after hit that everyone knows would suit Sunday night better.

For me, the best headliner was Guns n’ Roses-yes I am a tad bias.
Critics and Glastonbury goers turned their noses up at them when they were announced- however they pulled it out of the bag-yes Axl left the majority of his vocals somewhere in 1993, but he still had a little power & rasp. I think the general consensus amongst a lot of people were that they were better than expected-myself included.
I feared the worst and even mentioned I was in the brace position before they hit the stage.
However it was all good, pulled a great crowd (festivals can be hit or miss as it’s never your crowd) a great selection of songs, and the band was tight-Slash in particular is getting better with age.
Sorry Elton, you were excellent last night, but Axl is my hero.

I would look up the definition of tad if I were you:-)

You can get a wild mushroom baguette for breakfast now for £9, here's a menu showing how much it's changed. Young kids having fun, in reality middle aged middle class non kids having fun.

Edgy, vegan burgers ;)

Swift is already playing the friday and Saturday night at i think Wembley.

No let's make it £10.

 

[stonerblue]

20 years ago, when they were relevant.

Elton isn't 'relevant
