With the Mad Cool announcement tonight, it's now confirmed they're not even doing back to back shows over consecutive shows in Portugal and Spain.

Also they seem to be carrying Mogwai around with them (as well as The Twilight Sad, of course) at some of these festivals. Early evening on the Other Stage this time?

That 28th June gig is pleasing.... makes it more unlikely they will be playing Glasto on the 29th....

If The Cure do headline, will this make them the act with the longest gap between headline sets at Glastonbury?

[Hugh Jass]

I've seen them before and not in a huge rush to see them again - they were ok but definitely one of those acts you only really need to see once.

That said Mrs Jass wants to see them so I'll inevitably end up there.

Well hopefully you wont have to. Highly unlikely they are playing now with the gig announced for the 28th...? coupled with it would be very strange for them to have both the Cure and Macca headlining.... this is not a reminisce festival  Unless they play Sunday and Macca doesnt play at all... but EE said they have 2 guys for headliners being Stormzy, so Macca seems nailed on?

I think Dental's argument is they're more likely to play Sunday (30th), as they're not doing b2b dates anywhere else on tour.

Mate that 28th June gig was announced ages ago, and does nothing to make them unlikely. It's why half of us have been predicting them for Sunday and there's been endless debate on who's least likely to play the Saturday out of The Cure (Friday date in Belgium) and Macca (Wednesday date in Phoenix).

It'd be pretty tough to beat Bowie - 1971 and 2000.

Dude who’s reminiscing? I was alive in neither The Cure nor Paul McCartney’s creative prime but I’d love to see both.

Which would put Macca on the saturday? Not sure why I am putting Macca on sunday tbh haha!? No idea where I got that train of thought from....

Still though.... Macca & The Cure.... 2 golden oldies? seems odd choice.

Looks like they'll play Sunday and Macca will do Saturday to me.

You may have to come to terms with the fact that the Arctic Monkeys won't be there.

I was alive.... granted very young. My auntie was into them... they are bit wet haha still think its a strange choice to have 2 x old school acts.

Golden Oldies Bob and his Funtime Yesteryears Hitmakers.

Haha Im not bothered if they are there or not tbh the last album disappointed me personally. Where are we getting these Cure and Macca rumours from anyway? The Macca one carries some weight with EE saying 2 guys headlining... unless shes bringing in sam smith or something?

It's been done before though.

Most recently in 2009 which a lot of people will (correctly) tell you was one of the classic years..

Neil has several sources telling him they're the headliners. The Cure are blatantly headlining by now.

Ah well not going to lie disappointed with the Cure if its true. Suppose it frees up the night for me on friday and sunday... Fingers crossed for some good other stage headliners. (Runs off to pray in the stone circle for Foals or Vampire Weekend)

Oh, that small matter...oops

Still, 24 years for them if they do it, that’s impressive.

Don’t think Bowie headlined in 1971, it was the following year he made it big.

It’s certainly got to be the longest spell that an act has been headlining at G - 2019 will mark 33 years since they first headlinined.

He does tend to carry that weight tbf.

David Bowie left it 29 years.
