Yeah but no one gives a damn about The Eagles who wasn't around when they were in their heyday, do they? The Cure are listened to by people of all ages, from like 15 upward I'd say. They're massive cultural icons and one of the first bands from the past people will check out when getting into alternative music (in the same way as the likes of The Smiths, Joy Division, etc.). I've never met anyone who actively likes The Eagles, never mind anyone under 40.

If The Eagles headlined Glastonbury I doubt you'd find many young people there. I'd probably get laughed at for having a ticket to a festival headlined by The Eagles tbh.

The Eagles albums still do really well today and its not like they cant do decent size tours, they are playing Wembley twice the week before Glastonbury and do well touring the world. Theyd go down every bit as well as The Cure.

That said they arent gonna do it so its a pointless debate.

cure fans only like the cure because they're sad from being bullied as a child

The Cure are cool tho. Might have been uncool at their peak (I have no idea) but The Cure defo have an above-average fanbase in terms of coolness amongst younger people.

Killers? Muse? Mumford? These bands have uncool fans who deserve to be bullied, but not The Cure.

If your mates laugh at you for seeing The Eagkes theb Im sorry to say but your friends probably have poor taste in music. 

I was joking on that part, my friends aren't that weird, but Eagles are trash.

Yeah, they're massive, but their fans are all fat, middle aged, balding white blokes. Not doing Glasto.

Eagles won't show up, lazy bastards didn't appear until well after Frodo and Sam had done all the graft. Fuck them.

I like them but still true.

Nowt wrong with that. The Cure has the same fanbase, onlt the Cures fans wear eyeliner, grow the back and sides of their hair out to make it look more ridiculous and look depressed when watching their favourite band. Ill still have beers and a sing along with them though.

Aye but at least their fans like music and festivals.

Imagine an Eagles fan rocking up to a festival.

The Cure have those people plus all the edgy kids tho. And females. And non-Tories.

I'm not exaggerating but I genuinely do not think I've ever in my life seen/heard a young person express positive views on The Eagles.

Very fair, can't argue with that one.

Glad you're happy with The Cure being there, anyways, gonna be a good time.

[Matt42]

I understand that the “who” factor should never be a reason why an act should not be booked for glastonbury because even if they booked Rihanna theyd probably have some gammon on Facebook like “who?”

but for real if they booked Eagles it would be a resounding “who”. 

The only people who would say “who” at the cure are people who still don’t know who arcade fire are. (Ie, not worth your time)

TBF Arcade Fire have headlined Glastonbury and people are still non the wiser to who they are.

It’s something I find absolutely hilarious. What more does the band have to do to be well known? They have had fantastic commercial success and yet I encounter people daily who know nothing about them.

its some kind of indie magic I tell you

And contrary to some folks perception they do enjoy a laugh, even at their own expense.

Is that why you want it to be The Eagles? So you haven't wasted time listening to Wings?

[priest17]

Can't believe Jessie J is gonna headline Glastonbury 2019.

Back me up bamber.

Nah, I dont expect The Eagles to play at all nor will be bothered if they dont. Even if I dont like the headliners Ill find something to watch so Im not all that worried. 

Maibly just joking around, I havent listened to Wings all month but have been blasting a mixture of them, McCartney and The Beatles though.
