Considering how nailed on we thought Macca was. I wonder how nailed on The Cure is anymore?

If you look up “nailed on” in the dictionary, there’s a picture of Paul McCartney walking away from a herd of cows.

There was always much more scepticism about McCartney playing. I don’t think it was ever ‘nailed on’, just the best guess at the time based on the info.

Is thegirlsun anything to do with that rag The S*n? A quick Twitter search shows they're now reporting the same thing.

It’s the same as The Sun, except that people feel the need to dismiss its festival rumours easier.

Kylie and Janet on the same day? Seems unlikely, but I’m in! 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Coo. Aye. That's it on the full Currant Bun site.

I'd laugh my ass off if that torpedoes The Cure.

I got mine handed to me for suggesting her as a sub a few months back. I think you’ll be able to hang onto yours.

[CaledonianGonzo]

She's kind of in the grey area between sub and headliner. Difficult to gauge exactly which would be the right tier to place her on.

[maarrkk]

Yep I guessed her a couple of weeks back after Macca vegas date and seeing her booked to headline Essence in the States the following weekend.

Great booking, would assume she would headline Glastonbury too, but surely not up against Janelle on the Sunday

[Gnomicide]

Could she headline? Does anyone care about Janet Jackson anymore?

[Guest]

Don't know a single Janet Jackson song, lads

Really don't think she could.

To be honest I think even the people saying sub are a bit optimistic - if she's playing Sunday then my best guess would be 3rd from top immediately after Kylie. Even then I think Kylie would slightly overshadow her.

Dunno really but fair to say that she's  bigger than previous Sunday night subs Weller, Beck and Biffy.

I don’t think it is.

[FloorFiller]

Aye Janet ain’t headlining. She’s big in name but I don’t think she’s ever really been THAT much of a big deal over here musically, or at least not for a while. I’d go for her going post-Kylie, similar to Katy Perry, Shakira etc from previous years. 

Kylie > Janet > Vampire Weekend > The Cure

Gimme gimme gimme.

Don’t see it myself and, er, dunno

Dunno. Definitely for a stretch she was operating in the same league as the likes of Prince or Madonna. A proto-Beyonce.  

Though obviously since then she's gone into this weird sort of semi-retirement.

She’s had as many number one singles and albums in the UK as The Strokes. Put it that way.

[Gnomicide]

She's had loads of hits but the only one I can think of is the one about not having a shag.

Yep. Mon the Biff! Miles bigger than Janet fucking Jackson.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Wikipedia confirms my inkling that she's sold a truckload in her time.  More so than any of the above.

Agree that you dont hear her much these days. 

On the face of it though, subbing Vampire Weekend would be a fucking weird place for a career relaunch.

[henry bear]

Dunno why that article called it a career relaunch, unless it meant specifically the UK - she’s been on the road from 2017, the tour ending in Japan next month.
