As Dental said, I dunno how you can draw any conclusions at all from him doing what he’s been doing for the last couple of years. Anyway, he’s at Glasto all the time as a punter so playing down the road seems sensible. He’s obviously not a fan of The Cure. 

 

Anyway, how have Cardiff bagged such good supports?

Well if Liam is subbing Stormzy I highly doubt Noel is either headlining Other that night or playing third down below Liam. So the remaining possibilities are subbing Macca and opening the festival. Last time Macca played he picked The Black Eyed Peas to sub him, and with the rumours of Childish Gambino subbing next year hopefully they're going down a similar route rather than sticking the shittier version of Paul McCartney on before him.

He’s playing in 2020 according to you so I wouldn’t worry yourself mate.

Oh yeah I get that but The Cure aren’t playing 2 days in a row anywhere so I’d presume it’s more likely that they’re Sunday. 

I'd say it'll be about what Glasto are wanting to do before that, on the basis that the fest approached the band and not the other way round.

For me, I think if the festival had free choice it'd be The Cure on Saturday and Macca on Sunday (tho I've got day guesses wrong before).

I agree that the two days on the trot thing suggests it won't be Saturday, but various commitments get put in various people's diaries where not all of the preferences can be had.

Yeah completely agree and I’m sure they won’t turn down headlining if that’s all Glastonbury could offer.  If I had to guess right now though I’d certainly be putting The Cure as Sunday .

    • sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
    • Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
    • I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…
    • Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.
    • Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
