Bob is the Cure manager... I think the only reason is if he wants or not play festivals. Since their last album, they always sell well arenas in any Europe City. But, playing Primavera as a headliner is a plus nowadays, like Depeche Mode did 2 years ago. With a new album, i think they are 90% in.

Given we've heard from someone with information that they're probably not doing Primavera Porto I can assume that they wont do Barcelona either. They feel like a band who could easily do both (like Pulp this year).

 

Would love them to be there but I can't see it currently.

I like your mock, but just one coment about the XX:

 

Jamie is releasing his new album after 9 years, selling a lot of tickets around the world about 40, 50euros (talnkig about Sao Paulo, 2000 tickets at this price, what is unreal)... So, i don´t think he will burn one year of promoting this album doing dj sets, while producing another XX album... So, i don´t expect a XX album until late 2026 or 2027...

 

Yes, you're right, but by the time I thought about the possible headliners I thought that Jamie would have a shorter impact and success. And after Oliver Sim album in 2022, Romy's in 2023 and Jamie in 2024 (and a hinted collaboration altogether in the album), I thought there would be a new XX album in maybe late 2025, but it could be anticipatedly presented in Primavera in a similar way to Charli's Brat. They also have a good relationship with the festival, and it was also rumoured the XX comeback to Glasto, so it could be one of the surprises in the line-up, but I reckon that this idea is losing strength with each passing day. We'll see what they have in store for us.
