I feel like if she was to do it she would mainly do songs that where big hits in the UK and maybe some newer songs

[DoneGone 16,735]

Mmm only if she was in full "good-girl-promoting-happy-allsmiles" mode, like the 2012 Super Bowl. It could work if she decides to do a Greatest Hits tour in a couple of years.

But a big event like that will never work when she's in full artistic mode, like this album. Example: Eurovision this year. I loved it but it's not what people expect and the backlash is harsh.

[PWCCA 2,502]

It would be great if she did do Glastonbury... it is an iconic event. But if she did, she would have to sort out her time-keeping in getting onto the stage. She would also have to take to the stage without autotune or playback or she would be ruthlessly slated and boo'd by the crowds. Also, a performance at Glastonbury would essentially have to be a greatest hits show as the crowds really wouldn't take to a set of majority new music (as with the M-X tour setlist... that wouldn't go down well)... the crowd at Glasto is diverse, they wanna hear the hits... the songs they know. This is why Kylie's set was so well-received... she included enough to please everyone.

As for what songs I would love to hear on such a setlist... in no particular order...

Like a Virgin
Holiday
Crazy For You
Frozen
Papa Don't Preach
Into The Groove
Music
Ray of Light
Like a Prayer
Express Yourself
Vogue
Rescue Me
Who's That Girl
Dress You Up
Burning Up
Gambler
Causing a Commotion
Everybody
Hung Up

And maybe a few album gems or unreleased tracks

 

[Guest Nobody Knows Me]

I think it would be fantastic if Madonna did Glastonbury, and I think it could really help get her back into the spotlight after the Madame X era. It would also help ticket sales if she did it right before a new tour announcement. I think if she did it, she should perform songs that charted well in the UK, without any auto tune as well. The set list would be mostly hits with some rarities thrown in, and arrangements handled by Stuart Price.

Ten ish years ago after confessions or sticky & sweet but I fear a live event like that without much prep time she’d do more harm than good.

I think there would be a lot of preparation if she did Glastonbury, and it would most likely be a great show.

Yeah but the turnaround between bands is so quick and she’s not lip syncing like the super bowl. Very few bows and whistles at glasto too. 

[steady75 10,403]

Looks like we’re mostly all on the same page regarding her set though

Yeah, it would have to be a lively set. No dark or angry moments or any auto tune. As for live vocals, yeah it would be risky now but I think she could pull through. She seemed to have gotten some vocal training for the Madame X Tour because she sounds great from what I’ve heard. 

[MarXus 94]

Quick question?  Do artists usually perform like a whole concert at Glastonbury?  I have no idea, but I see many of you are listing a set list as long as a full concert.

Whatever the case, she should perform her big hits.  At this point, that is what people are going to want to hear.  I agree she should keep it light and fun.  Nothing too dark or too serious.  Keep politics to a minimum.

They tend to do around 15-18 songs and Kylie’s definitely lasted over an hour.

Must be a lot of mash ups if it's that many songs in an hours time?

I think a few songs were shortened here and there, but if I remember correctly it was somewhere around the 80 minute mark.

Festival type time: usually around 60-70 minutes, not a whole 90-120 minutes show.

[dylanlioncourt 5,981]

It'd be nice to see her do it but not sure if she ever would anytime soon.

[Lorx 396]

I think it's too late. 
Her voice is decent in her lower register, but she can't belt high notes anymore. 
And she should sing live there, without vocoder or autotune.
She can't dance anymore... so I think she should not perform in a festival like Glastonbury.
