Pleaseeeeeee be true...I just can't see The Cure headlining anything other than Pyramid after playing main stages at every other fest in 2019.

[HeyPorter]

If it is Gaga then that is one godawful clash. Still just can’t see The Cure on the Other though.

They’re doing Southside the same day as the Foos, so won’t be main headliners there.

That does seem like an unusual arrangement. I wonder if they are seen as joint headliners or perhaps, The Cure are headlining one day and the Foos the other. I wonder if both bands will do 2 hour slots with a weak undercard. The Cure's logo has been shoved up the top as if they are headliners on the poster...

Either way, I'll be astounded if they do the Other Stage at Glastonbury.

I'd see The Cure in any other event but if it was Gaga clashing then she wins.

[Ayrshire Chris]

The lack of female headliners has recently been highlighted so Gaga would be a dream booking. 

[gearbm95]

Robyn is 100% headlining a stage this year, right? There's no way they fucked that up.

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

No idea as to whether the female is playing opposite The Cure, also heard that Stormzy is practically playing for free, have no reason to think the info is incorrect as it’s someone in the biz, but also unsure how/why they would have the info this early in the year.

I think it's great that as soon as we settle on three headliners, along comes some information that casts some doubt and we all cling to new hope. I've had a feeling for months that either one of Macca or The Cure isn't happening.

With this new speculation I'm holding out for:

Friday:

Pyramid - Stormzy

Other - Chemical Brothers

Saturday

Pyramid - Paul McCartney

Other - The Streets

Sunday

Pyramid - Lady Gaga

Other - The Cure

Probably highly unlikely but it's Christmas and I've been a very good boy this year.

Cos I forgot The Cure!

[Cockney_Jesus]

Not a fan of Gaga so crossing my fingers it’s actually Taylor! ??????

Headliner time is looking crowded if every rumour and reasonable speculation comes off. Ideally I'd like to see Hot Chip, Macca, Orbital, The Cure, Chems, Jon Hopkins and Stormzy. Unless they're doing a seven day festival, I'm not going to see all of those. I can't see any of them not headlining a stage. 

Have we ever had a year with so many apparent clashes before Christmas?

In addition to Stormzy, each one of those other names you've listed is totally realistic, to be fair! Out of interest, which three would you choose, clashes permitting? 

Funnily enough, I've never thought of choosing a headliner in those terms before. I suppose if you take the four main stages alone, how are we even meant to choose 3 acts out of 12 every festival?! ?

I've no idea! I never seem to actually enjoy Jon Hopkins live, so I might drop him? But I feel like I've always been doing it wrong, so there's unfinished business there. Hot Chip are an immaculate live act, but I've already seen them a couple of times...

 

Fuck knows.

I once did a festival by letting a set of dice decide what I drank, where I went and which acts I saw. That was fun, letting fate decide.

I love this bolt out of the blue rumour. Thanks Matt! Even if it doesn’t end up being true, I’m 100% believing in Gaga until proven otherwise. Whoop! Happy Christmas to me!

I've seen them 7 times and there's still very little that could stand in the way of me watching them again. A good time is a good time, and Hot Chip deliver one that very few others can match.

@Gucci Piggy is going to be so cross when he comes in here and finds people actually entertaining the idea of The Cure headlining Other. 

 

[morph100]

Gaga - hinted herself, played before 

swift - close friends have played, English boyfriend, played radio one big weekend 

madonna - ruled out by emily

grande - possibly? 

anyone else in the running if this is true?

Tbf given a lot of headliners would be doing it for about 250k, Stomrzy is nowhere close to being that big. I get why he's been chosen but he's not big enough really, he's playing events that subs comfortably are doing.

Personally I see The Streets subbing and Paulo Nutini headlining instead. Of course should The Cure on Other or happen then I guess Streets can somehow play top again...crazy mind.

Gaga vs The Cure wold be the mother of all clashes. It's giving me anxiety.

[Superunknown]

The Cure on anything other than the Pyramid is a bit of a joke tbf.
