It’s just a guess, but I think so long has gone by without them announcing anything, they’ll want to put themselves back on the map.

New map. That's what we need.

Oooohhhh. Pouring over the details, the fence has moved, they've been calling Paines the wrong thing for years, Arcadia has rotated 7 degrees, is that a new bar, is The Other bigger etc. etc. etc.

Yes please. Love me a map.

I'd be surprised if we don't get anything before Christmas. I think we will get one headliner announcement to drum up some extra excitement. I doubt it'll be The Cure as they have tickets to sell, so it'll either be Macca or whoever the 3rd headliner is.

Wouldn't a sold out Glastonbury slot help sales for the Cure?

There's only ever been 4 headliners and 1 legends slot act announced before February.

They've no need to announce anything really.  Not line up-wise anyway.  There may be some word of a new initiative or something along those lines, but as the thing has sold out no problem I think they'll wait until next year and keep 2018 fallow.

If you have Glasto tickets and you’re thinking of buying a Cure ticket, you maybe less inclined if they’re announced for Glastonbury.

[kalifire]

The Cure aren’t exciting enough (to the masses) to announce first, surely. Most people would be like:

[Phoenix Girl]

Maybe they’ll announce Kylie. But yeah I’m inclined to believe that it’s going to be a long winter of nothingness ???.

I feel the appeal of Paul McCartney by the yoof might be overestimated on these boards too.

Well, Cure fans with Glasto tickets might not bother buying them for the Glasgow show if they're announced for G. They might want to hold off on the G announcement for as long as possible.

But Glasto is a festival that tends to attract an older crowd anyway. Not saying the yoof don't go, but it's more skewed towards older people than Reading.

And he's a Beatle!

I dunno. He'll probably be quite exciting alongside The Cure.  

[Woffy]

The Beatles should totally appeal to the yoof of Glastonbury. 

They’re only drum n bass now.

But the oldies will complain about value for money seriously going downhill. "When I was younger we got half The Who, only get a quarter of The Beatles for your money these days!" (Shakes stick)

No, just meant he's not playing Glastonbury with Paul.

[zico martin]

If they did they could. Why do you ask?

I probably should bite your hand off and agree to this, but I've learned from @kalifire and am taking no risks

If Talking Heads reformed could they headline?

 

Yes yes and yes would be a dream but won't happen . 

I'd settle for David Byrne

Reliable authority that they will. 

Let’s do it. 

We’ll both stick £100 in a neutral efesters account and they can pay out after next June.
