The killers are an embarrassment of a headliner.
The cure are on of the greatest British bands of all time.
Stormzy is there as they always try to put a contemporary act as a headliner. Don’t have a problem with him being there but I won’t be watching him. There’s so many other acts on at the same time. If folk have a problem with Glastonbury lineups they must have pretty narrow musical taste IMO

You need your head checked if you don't rate The Cure

Probably a blessing in disguise - more fun to be had away from the main music

This.

Glastonbury's always good music wise. Don't think i've ever been and now had an option to see something decent. The Killers are a terrible and obvious choice but The Cure have a big enough back catalogue for it to work on the main stage.

As for Fleetwood Mac, they are rumoured every year as was Prince before he died. More chance of Prince playing as they are about the $ and Glastonbury don't pay huge fees.

Saw the Cure at Hyde Park last year. They do a long set, 2hrs +, and will most likely do greatest hits, but it was one of the best gigs I've been to. Great atmosphere.

I think it’s a defence mechanism and I’m just sad I didn’t get a ticket

Robert Smith's voice is fucking brilliant. Not sure the Glasto crowd are fully on board which is understandable given that most of them are too young and ain't been drip fed 'The Cure' like they might've been some perceived 'bigger' bands. Great set though.
