2011. I'm not a massive fan but my mates were so I went along. Wish I hadn't as Mike Skinner was totally off his face and it was a terrible set. He was stood on a box or something shouting to the crowd "I can see you, can you see me" for about five minutes.?

Yup. That was the occasion. Not my favourite Glastonbury moment

Mate, does your user name have anything to do with The men that will not be blamed for nothing?

Now there's a band that I'd love to see headline the Pyramid.

Can't actually remember why I picked this originally so I'll jut say 'yes' to look cool.

RIP Andy. That's potentially Cure out then I suppose?

It won’t affect their dates at all - he was only with the band a short while, in the 1980’s

They got 22 odd festival dates. 

Yes 22 is even ?. 

Wondering how many dates they do have as it was mentioned it would be 22.

He hasn't been a part of the band since 1984. It is a very sad time, but I fail to see why it would effect their summer festival shows.

[eFestivals]

just took a call (about something else) from the main source who told me the cure. Anyway, talk gets back to the cure, and one of the extra things he said was "I'm 99% sure I was told they are on saturday".

That frees up Janelle for me if it’s her v Brandon & Co

[CaledonianGonzo]

Likewise.  Nice one.

 

Does that work with their tour dates?

Hope this is true as I'd really like to see The Cure and Janelle Monae. We all were pretty convinced they were Sunday, why was that? To do with gaps between their other shows or a rumour? They've always felt a slightly odd Sunday choice.

That's interesting. Was hoping to avoid a clash between The Cure and Chemical Brothers, can see what's gonna happen though..

yeah. They  have a show in Belgium on the Friday, but that's it.

PS: the something else was interesting and involves someone supposedly playing in 2020 .... but that's something for another time. ?

Is there an announcement on the horizon?

Most of us had them pegged for the Sunday given they were playing Werchter on the Friday. Does this affect the Killers/Sunday thinking?

Only surprising thing is that they’re not playing 2 days in a row anywhere else.

The Killers being for the local audience makes more sense.

Go on Neil, it's always the time. Elton? Macca?

no idea, but I'd guess not for a week or so at minimum as they did the plastic bottles thing yesterday.

[s30foster]

Lauryn Hill is getting about this summer isn't she?! Still feels likely she'll head to the farm. The weekend before she's in Oxford. The Wednesday before the festival she's in Ireland.

Oh, and of course...Idles on for another festival.

When they announced their March tour, playing venues much smaller than they could have, I assumed they subscribed to the Malcolm Maclaren/Sex Pistols ‘always leave them wanting more’ view. But come festival season they’re seemingly in competition with Peter Hook & the Light to play everything they can.

Yeah, they've even left a day in between Madrid and Lisbon so them doing two days in a row would be very surprising. I guess it's not impossible but I still think Sunday is much more likely for them.

[Andeeroo]

I'm completely down for my trio of headliners being Stormzy / The Cure / Janelle. Yes please!

[morph100]

Any clue which stage The Cure are headlining? ?
