BuzzJack Music Forum _ Kylie and Dannii Minogue _ Kylie SLAYS Glastonbury Legend slot
Posted by: liamk97 18th July 2018, 01:28 PM
The iconic festival was rested in 2018 for its fallow year, but plans are in place for the next instalment, with co-organiser Emily Eavis recently explaining that tickets will be available from October 2018, with a line-up announcement soon after.
Speaking on BBC Radio 2 earlier this month, Emily revealed that “we’ve done our first draft of the Pyramid Stage", which includes finalising the Legends Slot. The likes of Shirley Bassey, Dolly Parton, ELO and Lionel Richie have turned the slot into a phenomenon in the past, helping the latter two acts return to the top of the Official Albums Chart.
While not confirming who 2019's legend is, Emily gave some clues: "I can’t tell you, but I’ll give you a clue: it’s a female. She is not British, but I can’t give you any more clues because it will get me into trouble.”
Who should take to the Pyramid Stage? Let's weigh up some contenders.
Kylie Minogue
Kylie Minogue was meant to headline Glastonbury in 2005, but sadly had to pull out following her breast cancer diagnosis. While the Golden Australian made a cameo during Scissor Sisters' 2010 Pyramid showcase, she's yet to do a whole set of her own. Is 2019 her year, and will it be in the Legends Slot?
Kylie told Press Association: "It would be amazing and very emotional to be standing there and doing what I didn't get to do all those years ago, for sure."

Time to finish some unfinished business!
Posted by: pippa 18th July 2018, 02:51 PM
I think if it happens it would be sensational for Kylie when we consider the reason she didnt get to perform on that stage.
For Kylie herself, i hope this does come to fruition.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 18th July 2018, 03:07 PM
Already confirmed to be female and not British so that's a good hint 
sorry I just read this in the article above
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 18th July 2018, 11:43 PM
It would be great for Kylie as I'm sure it's something she really wants considering the awful time she went through when she should have been on such a legendary stage.
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th July 2018, 01:39 AM
So hope this happens - also the impact of headlining Glastonbury seem to be far reaching with acts getting a sales uplift afterwards (Dolly Parton nearly scored her first #1 album after headlining).
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th July 2018, 09:08 AM
Ya it always brings a huge sales boost. For Kylie I think it will be very emotional for her
Posted by: pippa 19th July 2018, 09:47 AM
Highly emotional to start and then it will be a huge party.
I would think Kylie will throw everything at the performances and make it one big enjoyable party that both she, her fans and the others there will remember.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 20th July 2018, 12:02 AM
Ya if it's true she will do a show to remember and a duet will be in there too.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 20th July 2018, 01:22 PM
Looks like it maybe Madonna.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 20th July 2018, 01:44 PM
I suppose that makes sense as she's due an album out later this year.
Posted by: pippa 20th July 2018, 04:09 PM
I am disappointed for Kylie if its not her.
Posted by: Regina 20th July 2018, 05:29 PM
If they didn't ask her back during the Aphrodite era, or the X one for that matte,r they won't do it now.
Posted by: liamk97 21st July 2018, 01:09 PM
It's for the Legends slot though and Kylie would probably be considered too current for that slot back then. I could see it feasibly happening next year and certainly hope so!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st July 2018, 02:05 PM
She more than deserves her place on the legends stage.
Posted by: vibe 23rd July 2018, 12:12 PM
Will they book Kylie and Madonna on the same bill ?
Although nothing’s confirmed I wouldn’t have thought the organisers would do this .
I personally would love it.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 24th July 2018, 08:28 PM
Oh God, I would LOVE that!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 24th July 2018, 09:39 PM
That would be great if it happened as there are many who are fans of both.
Posted by: liamk97 17th September 2018, 12:59 PM
Bump following recent reports. Look like she could be doing it!
Posted by: pippa 17th September 2018, 01:07 PM
I thought this was confirmed this weekend?
Posted by: liamk97 17th September 2018, 01:07 PM
Not officially.
Posted by: pippa 17th September 2018, 01:08 PM
I am disappointed now as i had thought it was a certainty.
Posted by: liamk97 17th September 2018, 01:12 PM
I mean this amount of buzz seems to suggest it is all but confirmed. I'd be surprised if she wasn't doing it.
Posted by: pippa 17th September 2018, 01:46 PM
I will be truly gutted if it turns up she is not doing it.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 17th September 2018, 07:15 PM
Me too but I think it's almost certain.
Posted by: ___∆___ 17th September 2018, 08:13 PM
I’ve never done Glastonbury before - 2019 could be the year if it turns out to be true which seems highly likely! 
Posted by: pippa 18th September 2018, 06:36 PM
If Kylie releases a new Greatest Hits style of release to tie in with Glastonbury and if we assume a 1 cd set, what tracks do you think would be selected as the last Best of had a very disappointing track listing.
Posted by: ___∆___ 7th October 2018, 07:52 AM
In the virtual queue to get my Glastonbury tickets - can’t run the risk of Kylie being the headline and not being there to see it.
Posted by: Stuart25 7th October 2018, 10:19 AM
Were you successful?
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 7th October 2018, 01:22 PM
I wonder when it will be confirmed.
Posted by: ___∆___ 7th October 2018, 01:53 PM
Yes - all booked (Apperently they all sold out in 30 minutes!). I’ve paid the £50 deposit to secure the tickets and the full amount has to be be paid by April so if she doesn’t end up being the headline then I won’t complete the purchase
Posted by: ___∆___ 7th October 2018, 01:54 PM
Soon hopefully - there are so many names floating around aside from Kylie (Madonna and ABBA!).
Posted by: liamk97 19th December 2018, 12:35 PM
Posted by: SmileyKylie 19th December 2018, 12:45 PM
I think they will go all out for Sigala feat Kylie to be a big hit now......
Who will appear with her?
Nick Cave ?
Robbie Williams?
Jason Donovan?
Sigala?
Bono?
Chris Martin?
Dannii?
Keith Washington?

I think/hope it will be the Kylie show - she doesn’t need features etc.,
Posted by: SmileyKylie 19th December 2018, 12:50 PM
I know but it always helps to add to her legendary status. She is friends with loads of fellow A-listers.....
just hope its not Jake Shears but probably will
Posted by: Red Blooded Man 19th December 2018, 01:05 PM
I wouldn't mind him, kinda like the duet!
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th December 2018, 01:48 PM
In delighted for kylie herself. I do think she will wind down more and more now and this is a lovely milestone for her with a lovely meaning and full of sentiment. Not that she never does but she will go all on it for this and put an amazing show.
Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 19th December 2018, 02:17 PM
So pleased for her to have this conclusively confirmed, especially after the unfortunate events of 2005 prevented her from previously doing it.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 19th December 2018, 03:27 PM
i just hope she doesnt tire herself out before hand in all those other concerts
Posted by: ___∆___ 19th December 2018, 04:53 PM
Talk about go from strength to strength though - successful ‘comeback’ album, promo slots on all the major TV shows, sell out arena tour and now summer tour and Glastonbury and potentially Brighton Pride if the rumours are to be believed.
Posted by: pippa 19th December 2018, 05:10 PM
Kylie needs a good break for all early to Mid 2019 and then prepare for this huge showcase for her.
I think the set list will be extremely interesting and also very important.
I hope a good mixture of songs across a few eras will happen.
I do think it will be a fun, emotional, joyful and proud night for Kylie.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 19th December 2018, 06:20 PM
Could also help her streaming next year.......
Posted by: pippa 19th December 2018, 08:30 PM
If that happened it would be wonderful as it has cost her with chart placings.
Posted by: ThePoguesmith 19th December 2018, 08:38 PM
So excited for her! I'm fully anticipating this to be a big show 
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th December 2018, 11:47 PM
Its going to be huge for kylie. I'd love to see Chris Martin from coldplay there for a duet after coldplay's lovely tribute in 2005.
Posted by: pippa 20th December 2018, 04:17 PM
That would be lovely if it happened.
At the time, it was a very moving moment.
Posted by: liamk97 21st December 2018, 11:28 AM
A positive reaction from NME here:
Announced this morning (19 December) as Glastonbury 2019’s Sunday afternoon performer, Kylie’s world-beating ‘Golden’ tour is primed to pull into Worthy Farm on June 30, hits and hotpants in tow. The ‘Golden’ tour, which recently tore through the UK, is a masterclass in pop performance – centred around a Midwest American tale of heartbreak and hedonism, it finds Kylie breaking free of her sugary pop past once and for all. Taking in everything from country to ripping rock numbers (alongside the hits, naturally), it’s proof she’s more than just a shiny pop star.
Below, we’ve rounded up all the reasons Kylie Minogue’s Sunday afternoon legends slot at Glastonbury 2019 is set to be one of the weekend’s most bombastic hours.

I would so love to be at it I really would.
Posted by: liamk97 15th March 2019, 12:09 PM
Obviously she's headlining one of the stages but still wonderful to see Kylie up there on the top row.

Posted by: pippa 15th March 2019, 03:21 PM
I enjoy all the acts on that top line apart from Stormzy who i like to a much lesser level.
Wonderful to see Kylie there.

https://www.musicweek.com/labels/read/glastonbury-is-a-perfect-opportunity-bmg-s-alistair-norbury-on-the-kylie-hits-campaign/076614:
The singer releases a new greatest hits, Step Back In Time, on Friday (June 28). It lands just as Minogue prepares for the coveted Sunday afternoon legends slot at Glastonbury.
“The fact that she’s got the [legends]slot at Glastonbury on the Sunday is a perfect opportunity,” said Norbury. “This is one of our tent pole releases for the year, and the Glastonbury slot couldn’t be a better way to kick off that campaign. This is the platform that everyone wants.”
While Minogue’s career repertoire is with various labels, BMG is well placed to release her first full best of compilation since 2012. As well as being a JV with Warner Music, which controls the Parlophone material, the collection is a collaboration between BMG’s frontline and catalogue teams. It draws on BMG’s control of early catalogue and Minogue’s most recent album, Golden, which peaked at No.1 last April and has sales to date of 147,953, according to the Official Charts Company.
“That’s a perfect example of BMG working the frontline label – where we have Kylie signed – with our catalogue label, which has the PWL catalogue and the Deconstruction catalogue,” said Norbury “So we’re able to put together the Kylie best of. While we have licensed in other material, the Parlophone repertoire, this is about catalogue and frontline working together – and publishing, too, because we publish on a lot of material on that album, either via Kylie or co-writers.”
Norbury described the physical edition as “spectacular”.
“We’ve got very high hopes and [the album] will go all the way through to Christmas,” he said.
Commenting on the campaign, Peter Stack, EVP, global catalogue recordings, added: “We have been working on this for a year. And there is a lot more to come.”
The album also features a new track, New York City.
Posted by: pippa 27th June 2019, 01:40 PM
Wonderful to get the sales update on Golden, 150,000 is coming very soon.
This really shows the belief in the Greatest Hits as they have a plan in place similar to Golden that will help the album recover sales well outside its initial release frame.
Posted by: Medellíam 27th June 2019, 01:45 PM
BBC segment this morning:
Posted by: ___∆___ 27th June 2019, 02:17 PM
That’s a great article from Music Week and BMG really is the best home for Kylie - they seem to totally get the fans want physicals and special editions and they do them well, they also have plans for all their releases long term rather than just week 1 - the fact that there is ‘a lot more to come’ makes me think they could add in some additional Glastonbury content to an updated edition of the album or give us a further album of rarities Either way super exciting to have a label that is totally behind Kylie!
Posted by: pippa 27th June 2019, 03:08 PM
BMG clearly know what Kylie fans both want and like and they are serving those needs very well.
They have an understanding of what is needed to keep Kylie in the limelight and be successful with releases and more importantly they believe in Kylie.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 27th June 2019, 06:14 PM
They def believe in kylie and so far they seem to have trust in each other. Bmg serm very excited by this release.
Posted by: Red Blooded Man 28th June 2019, 01:41 AM
All the way through Christmas? I can see why they're excited but the GH would be lucky to last beyond September.
Posted by: ___∆___ 28th June 2019, 05:22 AM
They said they have ‘lots planned’ though so if they manage this the same way as ‘Golden’ and we do get the repackage they mentioned then it should hang around?
Posted by: Red Blooded Man 28th June 2019, 09:55 AM
A repackage is a total rip-off in my opinion, I may just wait until they announce what a repackage entails.
Posted by: SmileyKylie 29th June 2019, 08:19 PM
Looks like Jason Donovan is indeed going to be at Glastonbury tomorrow with Kylie.
Especially for you is a perfect sing a long song.
Posted by: ___∆___ 29th June 2019, 11:37 PM
Especially for you is a perfect sing a long song.
It was iconic seeing them perform at Hyde Park so it’ll be great if they do end up doing a ‘proper’ duet tomorrow

She smashed that.
Posted by: slowdown73 30th June 2019, 04:12 PM
Well much better than Janet Jackson. She really got the crowd going.
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 04:13 PM
I’ve loved Kylie since 88 and seeing her smashing it at Glastonbury was everything - she has cemented her place as the queen of pop in the UK.
Everything was perfect - I’ve said it a million times and it’s not most Kylie fans favourite song but ‘Kids’ was a low point, it doesn’t work without a male singer also would have loved her to bring Jason on for EFY.
The duet with Nick Cave was iconic and I LOVED the section from Shocked to The Locomotion - such fun pure pop and then she brought it down perfectly with All The Lovers.
Now she needs to finish this week with a massive selling #1 album please!
Posted by: Jay ☆ 30th June 2019, 04:15 PM
She was incredible It was touching how in awe she was of the huge crowd & finally being at Glastonbury after all these years. Well done Kylie 
Posted by: Medellíam 30th June 2019, 05:26 PM
Aw I'm so pleased this was so well received! Can't wait to watch tonight. Yes at the Nick Cave duet! I was hoping that would happen! Were there any other duets?
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 05:27 PM
Chris Martin made an appearance too!
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 05:28 PM
Just reading all the Twitter/Insta comments and haven’t seen anything negative yet - this was exactly what Kylie needed at this point in her career to remind everyone she’s still a relevant artist and has a huge back catalogue of bops!
Posted by: Medellíam 30th June 2019, 05:46 PM
Just seen some photos - she looks absolutely stunning!
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 05:53 PM
^^ She looked flawless throughout - several outfit changes too. When the crowd were cheering ‘Kylie, Kylie’ it was epic
Posted by: vibe 30th June 2019, 06:03 PM
She looks good not sure she’s coming across as amazing.
Maybe the second half gets better 👍🏻 I wanted Dannii to do with Kids or something with her.
CGYOOMH has the crowd going ! This is better !
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 06:05 PM
Definitely got better as it went on - from ‘Shocked’ onwards I thought it was perfect.
Posted by: Medellíam 30th June 2019, 06:21 PM
Would have been the icing on the cake if Your Disco Needs You was performed, just so she could show off that fantastic operatic note at the end.
Posted by: 365 30th June 2019, 06:23 PM
5 stars from the Guardian.
It only just occurred to me that she snubbed New York City.
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 06:30 PM
I was streaming the GH afterwards (getting those sales
) and when YDNY came on I thought it was a shame she didn’t perform it - even if people didn’t know the song it’s such a bop it would have gone down really well.
Posted by: Calum 30th June 2019, 06:31 PM
It only just occurred to me that she snubbed New York City.
I don't think New York City's gonna be high up on your list to perform when you've got the Glastonbury Legends slot and you're having to cut so many other classic hits as it is
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 06:34 PM
Was literally going to post the same
From her recent interview NYC was just a thanks to the fans rather than anything else - I think she just wanted to get it out there after the online reaction to it after the Bowery Ballroom performance of it.
Posted by: 365 30th June 2019, 06:36 PM
Yeah, I'm not bothered about NYC at all, I don't care. I just would usually have expected someone to sing their new single.
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 06:39 PM
Where The Wild Roses Grow currently her highest on iTunes at #198 - think there will be big movements for some of the songs performed in the next few hours.
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 06:40 PM
I don’t think she’s really treating it as a single - just a song to throw out to radio to promote the album (She didn’t perform or plug it on ‘The One Show’ either).
Posted by: Spiceboy 30th June 2019, 06:42 PM
Kylie was brilliant well done to her. Was so touching to see how emotional she got.
Posted by: 365 30th June 2019, 06:43 PM
Oh, I wasn't aware it wasn't a single.
Where The Wild Roses Grow is the first song to appear in the top 200 on iTunes.
Posted by: Medellíam 30th June 2019, 06:49 PM
Good start for Wild Roses! I can see this really exploding on iTunes.
Posted by: JosephAvery 30th June 2019, 06:51 PM
I mean, that's exactly what a single is
it's just a low key effort.She really did smash it, I'm so happy for her
the setlist was VERY strong, the only omission for me was Wow - I think that could've slotted in perfectly at one moment, but otherwise, perfection
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 06:54 PM
it's just a low key effortI’m still stuck in the 00s where a single was promoting it at every opportunity and to be on every TV and radio show
Posted by: SmileyKylie 30th June 2019, 06:57 PM
She was brilliant.
Sound a bit crap in first half
Still think Lewis may well take top spot in album charts. Depends how many preorders she sold.
Killers also going well
Miley cyrus will benefit from the bbc1 coverage too
Posted by: vibe 30th June 2019, 07:01 PM
Second half did get better.
But Miley was so much better . So much more exciting .
Posted by: ThePensmith 30th June 2019, 07:13 PM
I'm just gonna come out and say it: not only THE set of this Glastonbury, but for me, THE best set I've ever seen in all the years I've watched the festival. I've never seen a crowd so in unison like that, so joyous and liberated, and Kylie looked and sounded incredible. The look on her face at the very start when she realised that pretty much the whole festival had descended on the Pyramid stage to watch her was so heart warming. Truly a gig to be proud of for years to come. And I'm so gonna book when she does a tour next!
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 07:22 PM
^^ This basically - I felt I could gush to much as a stan but seriously agree with everything, iconic from start to finish.
Posted by: Lukuzz 30th June 2019, 07:35 PM
She was absolutely fantastic, was watching it live and blasting it. Wish I'd seen it in the flesh. Brilliant. Hope the collection gets to number 1
Posted by: ___∆___ 30th June 2019, 07:42 PM
Praying that people seek out the GH and get it to #1 - she so deserves it
Posted by: Medellíam 30th June 2019, 08:26 PM
Posted by: SmileyKylie 30th June 2019, 08:49 PM
The gift of her face when she sees the Glastonbury crowd is brilliant.
It's amazing. The camera loves her
Posted by: Medellíam 30th June 2019, 08:53 PM
Dua Lipa was watching going by her insta stories. Talent supports talent!
Posted by: Medellíam 30th June 2019, 10:59 PM
Just finished watching! She slayed.
I love this new Bowie mix of 'Slow'. The 'Bad Girls' mix of 'Locomotion' really rejuvenates the song. 'I Should Be So Lucky', 'Where the Wild Roses Grow', 'All the Lovers', 'Dancing', 'Spinning Around' - so many highlights!! Living for the security dancing away at the end!
This moment when she enters and sees the crowd tho:
Also, the size of that crowd! Sky News are suggesting it could be the biggest Glasto crowd ever, certainly for the Legends slot.
,let's get to it, impossible princess and kiss me once were the only albums not to have any performance as kylie Christmas couldn't be counted. Where the wild Rose's grow as such probably represented IP.
I guess it went down a storm in the crowd at Glastonbury, but on TV I feel it came across kind of flat.
