Nightmare i don't have a problem seeing gaga but much sooner see the cure . But would go to gaga for my wife as she'll see loads of others that she has no interest in ......gives me chance to drag her along to chemical brothers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? You, sir, have impeccable taste.

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. I'd be interested to know the album sales/streaming figures post-Glastonbury, including the TV coverage effect. Maybe they dwarf the actual fee itself? Speculate to accumulate? Get that Pyramid slot right and it's definitely a catapult to the next level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the ones already mentioned by others, Flo, although Boardmasters might have some form of South West exclusivity, and even if they don't they probably wouldn't be best pleased with their marquee act playing a couple counties over. Beyonce, although there's no sign of her being active next year. Kate Bush, although let's be honest that's never ever going to happen. 1 hour ago, TheNoise said: Also P!nk, the dates fit. The only night she'd be free would be the Friday, which is already accounted for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodiles Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 Just imagining people arguing if kate bush was relevant if she played and then getting really arsy when she didn't play the hits ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keithy Posted December 22, 2018 Report Share Posted December 22, 2018 tbh I've never really got on board with The Cure headlining the Pyramid (though appreciate it came from Neil). Never quite felt right to me and if the Other rumour is correct then that seems a better fit. Hopefully the Gaga dream is back alive. Vegas residency starts in a few days and there's been rumours of her 6th album being released on the eve of the first date. The residency taking a break 2 weeks before Glastonbury.... It's probably a coincidence but...but... but.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 The Cure headlining Other can’t be a thing surely? Either they’re topping the Pyramid or not there at all - I’m sure Rob + co would rather just continue in their Glastonbury absence/topping every festival they play at rather than play second fiddle to Gaga/whoever. Interesting that a female headliner is being brought back in to the mix, but if it turns out to be true then I can’t see The Cure also being there and so the info kind of falls apart altogether.

mcshed Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 Are the people who think The Cure might headline The Other the same people who thought Adele might play earlier in the evening due to not being headliner type music?

No chance? from the festival side of things it sounds plausible, as I'm pretty sure that Metallica were originally pencilled in for the other stage. From The Cure's side of things it feels unlikely, tho. I can't really see them not headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahidf Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I just think the cure playing the second stage at any festival is a no go for many reasons. They wouldn't devalue their own 'brand ' like that IMO Only other thing I think of is if they do a similar thing to what they did with to get Roger waters and rod Stewart. Even then I'm dubious.

kingcrawler Posted December 23, 2018 Report Share Posted December 23, 2018 I can't see The Cure playing the Other stage. If there is a female headliner then I think it's much more likely to be in place of McCartney but even then I think he will headline.
