The Cure

[Wherethewildthingsare]

Saw them at Reading in 2012 - 3 hour set and knew all the words to every other song!

[The Placid Casual]

I'm on the side of Pictures of You being the GOAT song.

[beau1]

Stick me on the list for From the Edge being the GOAT. Although One Hundred Years, Push, Open, Shake Dog Shake are certainly close in terms of more "rocky" Cure.

[the wonderwhy]

Push is a tune, agreed

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.

Think A Forest, Push, Just Like Heaven, Disintegration and Want are the five GOAT Cure cuts for me. But that list is liable to change on any given day or wild mood swing.

Disintegration has the honour of being the GOAT in both song AND album. Struggling to think of a better title track tbh.

[slash's hat]

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.

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

and the presenter Martin is often at Glastonbury I believe

[beau1]

The Cure have just announced a show at Glasgow Sessions in August. First show in Scotland for 27 Years.

Part of me is wondering if they will do medium-large shows in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Headline Glastonbury?

• August 23th: Rock en Seine, Paris, France

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  Plenty of opportunities other than Glastonbury this summer.

Possible adds:

• May 31st-June 2th: Best Kept Secret, Netherlands (or Down The Rabbit Hole, July 5-7th)
• June 24-26st: INmusic, Croatia (doubt it)
• July 3-6th: Roskilde, Denmark
• July 11-13th: Mad Cool, Madrid, Spain (or the reinvigorated Doctor Music Festival same weekend)
• July 11-13th: NOS Alive, Lissabon, Portugal
• July 17-21st: Electric Castle, Romania
• Montreux Jazz Festival, Switzerland? (last weekend of June till July 14th)

[Mardy]

Looking at those dates, I reckon instead of NOS/Mad Cool, they'll stay in central Europe between Serbia and Greece. I'd have a cheeky tenner on them doing Pohoda in Slovakia 11-13th July
