I was clearly asking where they got the name from! ?

I have a theory Bob's Mob (Thanks for the nickname Dental) foresaw the meltdown and predicted the Strokes are the Cure for Macca not playing and so decided to call the band The Cure.

I've always thought of 2014 as the weakest headliners of recent times.

2019: "Hold my beer"

If it wasnt for Arcade Fire I would agree.

Too many 100 percent's there for my liking  

Ha my brain works in numbers. And exaggeration apparently

Don't worry, Mumford & Sons will save us all!

They wanted to do a festival they had affinity with as they attended as children and see how they do before the leap of headlining debatably the biggest festival in the world.

Plus we don't know if the offer from Glasto was as headliners. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to book them as subs, even if the band were unlikely to accept it.

I always thought Fleetwood Mac would make sense, given they're 'too expensive', surely Stormzy is comparatively cheap for headliner which helps make up for it?

Given that Glasto pay small fees anyway I imagine Stormzy will be getting the standard fee. Can't see them being like "Well we only pay 250k to our usual headliners, and whilst that's below your usual fee, because you're not as big as the other ones you're only getting half of that".

I just don't see a trio of Stormzy, Stokes and Cure. All three of them are capable of headlining, but in the same year? Not for me Clive.

I think they'll look for someone with a little more "wow" factor.

Let's hope so. I'd love a big old pyramid headliner to look forward to on just one night.

In the eyes of Average Joe, no chance.

Thought the rumour floated he is doing it for free?

Well, well, well...

Everyone has been arguing about whether both Gallagher brothers will be subbing the Pyramid. Can't believe no one has but 2 and 2 together and realised that a reformed Oasis are replacing Macca.

I agree tbh.

Radiohead > The Cure

Foos < The Strokes

Sheeran < Stormzy

2-1 to 2019. Obviously in terms of size and general appeal 2017 trounces it, but I don't care.

[metallimuse]

I can see The Strokes headlining that's not a problem but I can't see Noel Gallagher subbing to them. THAT's the part that doesn't make sense to me.

If they did, better be better than last time.

Imagine.... the internet would break and most of the other stages would be be empty when they played... health and safety wouldnt allow it ha

Rings a bell but it wasn't something I ever believed. I don't see why he would be.

Maybe I'm just a miserable hipster, but Ed/Foos are as vanilla as they come! At least Stormzy and The Cure are a bit out there, Strokes are a tough one to work out but I like them and enjoyed them at Reading 2012, so would see again if nothing else was on

Can’t believe no one’s mentioned Foals.

2 of my favourite bands and one of my fave rappers... second to none headliners for me in 2008... 

I agree, very good year imo.

If what people are saying about this year is true it could be mistaking for the other stage line up rather than the Pyramid stage.

Although, I'll happily see the strokes as I've never seen them before and I'll more than likely see the cure for the same reason.

If they headlined I would be very very very very very very happy and all would be forgiven.
