I actually quite like a fair amount of their music but it'd be an absolute waste of a headline booking at Glastonbury.

Perhaps but they're also a zombie act that's been touring for ages without doing anything new. The standard of popularity for 'heritage' acts getting booked late in their career is a lot higher than for zeitgeisty modern acts.

Even most National fans agree that having them sub, and to the Foos, was a terrible booking tbf.

Yeah I was a massive fan back after Yeezus came out but I have very little enthusiasm for new stuff right now. Just don't get the impression that he's putting time and care into stuff in the way he used to and it really does show in the resulting music. Daytona and Ghost Town were great but the rest I'm very cold on.

I dunno both those bookings make a lot more sense, Arcade Fire had those 'culturally relevant' points and Metallica had enough cultural standing to do it as a one off wild card booking. The Cure did it a bunch of times in their day but now they're just an old band that tours constantly and hasn't even put music out in ages. I really think Glasto would book another up and comer before giving it to them.

This thread's having a bad time today. Ignore your personal love of them for a moment and remember that The Cure would be the weakest Glastonbury booking in an very long time. Culturally they're totally irrelevant in 2018 and they're not big enough to do it on legend status. Glasto ain't that desperate. The only way they play is if they accept something lower than headline which I don't think they would.

Nah the thing with My Bloody Valentine is that they are, in fact, bad, whereas The 1975 are good.

Sex isn't great tbf but I dunno what you're going after Chocolate for. Nice tune.

Only a band that's secretly really boring would have to play so loud that half the crowd vomit and shit themselves tbf.

New Sleaford Mods is ace. The EP format probably does suit them more than albums.

Did they respect mime culture? We're not all tiny invisible boxes yknow.

Man wanna chat about backup dancer

And The Prime Minister.

Not listened to it in a long time tbf but I did put Fruit Machine on earlier and it's a nice tune.
