That's a brilliant call. I'm not a fan either but as you suggest Numan has a good balance between the devoted and the casual fans who will buy big time into the nostalgia due to the late 70/80's hits

I reckon black eyed peas or Robbie Williams would be good, both got songs that get a crowd going
I'm a fan of Numan's early and recent work (not so much in-between), but not sure where he'd fit in at Glastonbury really. Wouldn't appeal to under 30s, and isn't right for the (singalong) 'legends' slot. Maybe they should have a 'pioneers' slot.

Crosby Stillls Nash & young, with Tom Jones as a special guest.

They played twice last weekend didn't they?
Kate Bush.
Although her current wave of fame will probably have passed by then, she has an enduring appeal that I think would go down well with the Henman Hill crowd at the Pyramid stage.

No. They’ve never played it. Was in talks over headlining (Eavid is a fan), but talks broke down over money.

Well they can **** off, then.
I was taking to members of Nubiyan Twist who told me they were getting paid less for their show at Glastonbury than for any other gig they play, and that 80% of bands who play at Glastonbury don’t get paid at all.

You could say the same of Woodstock about Carlos Santana, and he’s still alive.
I would also go along with mentions of Stevie Wonder - a huge back catalogue filled with all sorts of gems, much better value than, say, Diana Ross.
Sounds about right, like Goodwood its a very corporate commercial affair these days.

Hawkwind doing the Space Ritual - they did actually play Glastonbury in the early 1970's, well before it became a middle class glamping holiday.
Is it? In what way?
