  1. 1. If The Cure were to headline would you be there? I'm intrigued due to the varied opinions of them on here.

    • Yes - Definitely, regardless of who else is on the other stages.
      199
    • More than likely - Depending on strength of the clashes on other stages.
      260
    • Unlikely - Know a couple of songs but there would probably be something else on you'd watch instead.
      192
    • No - Never been a fan so will definitely be elsewhere.
      55

Neil's had info from a couple of sources that they're playing, and before that someone on here's son met their bassist's daughter at Reading and she told him they're headlining Glasto. Plus they've now been announced for loads of festivals around Glasto and the organiser of one of those fests said it may be their last festival run, so it'd make sense for Glasto to get them one last time before they're no longer an option.

Not long ago Robert Smith was asked on the radio if they'd headline Glasto and  he said they would but they haven't had the best relationship with the festival in the past and he doesn't know if they forgive and forget. Have to bear in mind, though, that if they were booked to headline they can't just spill the beans on air so it was probably just a throwaway comment to get around the question without answering either way.

Found some more quote about their claims of being on bad terms with the festival. https://www.radiox.co.uk/artists/cure/robert-smith-talks-cure-headline-glastonbury/

Seems back in the 90s things were very poorly organised and potentially dangerous and they didn't enjoy it.

Lullaby on the radio...It's a sign. Ooh lists, yay, I think 5 is reasonable no-one wants a repeat of last times no 9 situation. Hmm some listening to do to be sure. But GOAT single definitely pictures of you. 

That song was on homes under the hammer this morning, yet another sign :)

Any list going beyond 8 should either retire the 9 shirt or put PH in regardless. Don't care what the list is about :D

I didn't include the Irish gig at first as I was focussing on the 20 or so festivals they said they're doing. But all complete now :lol: Plenty of opportunities other than Glastonbury this summer.

  • June 24-26st: INmusic, Croatia (doubt it)
  • July 3-6th: Roskilde, Denmark

  • Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland? (last weekend of June till July 14th)
