Anyone who thinks Damn is better than TPAB is honestly a psychopath. 

Kendrick himself thinks this, as if you'd call Kenny a psychopath you utter gammon

Funnily enough I dunno if I'd discount it.

It’s a bold choice for rumours, but my issue is where each act would be placed.

Macca: could technically play any night, but has a gig in the States on Wednesday. Hard to imagine him doing anything but closing the festival. 

The Cure: Have a gig at RW on Friday so potentially a Sunday act but if Macca is headlining, far more likely on the Saturday. 

Taylor Swift: Another act you’d typically want to place on the Sunday and certainly not a Friday headliner, traditionally. 

I’ve been shouted down for daring to suggest such a thing before, but is it conceivable that The Cure might headline Other if Swifty gets the Pyramid on Saturday night?

I know theres some info otherwise.. but I tend to agree. The Cure just doesnt seem like a Pyramid headliner to me... headlining the Other would make more sense in my mind, but apparently if theyre there theyre headlining the Pyramid.

Tweet from a promoter and manager. Probably just an educated guess, but maybe he knows...?

I was working at the enemy ?the week the poster missing Metallica was dropped in 2014. The higher staff were told to expect an announcement (via phone call from Emily) the day before, but that’s it... as you would think - cards are kept very close to their chest.

we also got the first advance on 48:13 blasting over the floor that week...once... and then never to be mentioned again.

There's more chance of Taylor Swift playing a non-headline slot than The Cure.

Even if it was just once, I'd take an employer to a tribunal for pulling that sort of shit on me

Cure are massive. Believe me that they would put on the best show.

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
