Will give the others a bash and see if I know them. I don't work in an office or have parents that play Smooth FM so maybe that's why Fair enough. I couldn't tell you where but I feel like they're used in TV and films a lot. I did just remember that this happened though: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gucci Piggy Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 No one has said The Cure are bigger than R.E.M in general, though. Listening to It's the End of the World as We Know It and I recognise the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithy Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 The Cure certainly doesn't feel right as a Pyramid Headliner. Other stage? I can get on board with that. The Eavis have booked strong headliners for years now.... The Cure to headline? Not for me Clive. If Macca was up for doing Glastonbury again, I'd prefer it to be 2020. The idea of standing in the Pyramid field, sunday night of the 50th anniversary, singing some of the great songs ever written..... it just feels right. I fear Gaga is going to forever be a lost headliner. Her Vegas residency seems to fit well with managing her health issues; I can't see a major tour happening soon after cancelling part of the last one and can't see her committing to a festival date in the future without being sure of her health. Rihanna..... if the new album is ready for next Feb/March then she's definitely in the running. If Kendrick's up for it, then there's a definite headliner.

Guy Incognito Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 can't say the idea of The Cure headlining excites me too much. Doesn't matter though as I'll be at WH watching Janelle Monae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 4 hours ago, Henrik said: Really wish I could excited for The Cure. Love the band but I have been here before. They headlined Bestival a few years ago and I was super hyped for it. It turned out to be a shockingly bad performance. The set went on and on and on and on. I'm a fan and I had no idea what they were playing for most of the time. I was quite near the front and people around me were just sitting down. It was all very strange. It was advertised as being a three-hour odd set in advance. Anyway, if they headline Glastonbury they'll get a shorter set like they did at Hyde Park/the last time they headlined Glasonbury.

Ultimately the extra bit of info that suggests they're not doing it that stopped me from upping them to strong rumour. It just makes the whole thing feel a bit odd.

mufcok Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) If nothing else the rumour's got me listening to The Cure for the first time in a while.
