[Music] If you could select the headline act for Glastonbury, who would you choose ?

[Binney on acid]

I give you Reg Kehoe and his marimba queens, featuring Frank De Nunzio Snr, possibly the greatest bassist ever lived.
Watch the video in full - you won't be disappointed !

 

[essbee1]

Chas n Dave.

 

[southstandandy]

Lenny Kravitz

 

[Greg Bobkin]

DJ Locadia.

 

[Hamilton]

Elvis

 

[Weststander]

For a now impossible act, The Who including Moon and Entwistle.

If I wanted to spend a shedload of money - and probably have to buy a smart phone to get in - sleep in a tent, trudge for miles, possibly in the rain, with nowhere except the ground to sit on, hold my nose when I needed the loo and didn't mind having my tent ransacked, I think I'd want to see one of the few bands I would have liked to have seen at the time but never did.
Trouble is, mostly too many of the band members are dead now, like The Beatles, Small Faces and the Grateful Dead. Maybe Genesis (if they got Peter Gabriel back and tied Phil Collins to the drum kit), or The Hollies (I think there's enough of them still). Maybe Juicy Lucy, who I was looking forward to see headlining the Plumpton Festival in 1970 - but never got to see them because the band that was on before them set fire set fire to the stage so they never did get to play. Nasty f*ckers were Deep Purple!

 

[slartibartfast]

Lord Snooty and his pals Tap Dancing .....

 

[Dick Head]

Charlie Chuck

 

[Pevenseagull]

The Cure would be the obvious choice.


Because they are good at it and have loads of brilliant songs.


And are still good.


Oddly enough I was having a chat about this sort of thing with some friends a few days ago. We weren't sure if U2 are still a 'big' band anymore.

Mainly because everyone we know think they've aged like diced kidneys on a dandelion during a heatwave (apart from, 'Until The End Of The World' which is an absolute banger).


Billy Joel would be good.

One of the most boomer posts I've seen on this site, fair play.

Billy Joel would be good.

If the criteria is still alive and playing, but nearing the end of their career, then definitely.

 

[Jahooli]

Lord Snooty and his pals Tap Dancing .....

With guest Adolf Hitler on vibes (looking very relaxed) ?
