Joe. Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 3 hours ago, jengd said: We felt Glastonbury is giving over way too much to more folk/jazz, really alternative (church choirs from SA - who were excellent but a little niche perhaps), legacy acts (Kylie, headlining, really??) and sentimentally driven acts like the The Cure. Yes, I know the Cure were huge - emphases on were - and are around more now but it was pretty cringeworthy. Think Glastonbury needs a shake up, or maybe this year's line-up just wasn't for me. I could hardly believe however that BJA would visit and neither of the Eavis' speak to him about the possibility. He has said before that he doesn't know much about it, but if he enjoyed it he could be thinking, yep, got to fit that in. This years lineup was incredibly diverse, Stormzy an excellent headliner, The Cure being legendary and The Killers being, idk, the killers? I cant see green day headlining that soon, they aren’t up and coming like a Stormzy, like it or not they aren’t as legendary as a Cure, and not got the pop hits that a band like The Killers have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, Green Day haven’t achieved the “legend” status that the cure have, aren’t at the “top” (used very loosely) like The Killers or Foo Fighters and aren’t an up and coming artist like Stormzy, so I don’t see them headlining Glastonbury any time soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least anymore than green day are. A lot of people don't even know a Cure song. But yeah I'd say the killers and foo fighters have been more popular, but wouldn't say their music is better except for maybe one foo fighters song.

As (probably) Killers and Foo Fighters are currently more popular, but I would not be that sure in absolute terms. I don’t know what would be a “definitive” reference point to decide this, or if it exists, but for example on YouTube they all have roughly the same amount of views on their top hits official videos.

Too domb to die Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Green Day could easily headline Glastonbury. Most bands would kill for their back catalogue. Songs like BOBD, 21 Guns, American idiot, Basket case and Time of your life would get a massive response. They also still have a fresher sound to most of their 90s counterparts. back on topic... New album, new album, new album, new album, new album, new album coming soon. Excited I are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly anyone knows The Cure others than their fan base. Green Day is much more of a draw. The Cure has been around much longer but got into the HOF after GD. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE The Cure. They’re my 2nd favorite band. But they are not more legendary than Green Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montclare Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I would put GD and the Foo Fighters on the same level popularity wise, but the Killers below both of them. Both the Killers and GD's most recent albums charted at #1, but the Killers singles didn't chart as well as GD. And yeah, GD has a number of songs that play to the pop crowd, as well as rock songs that the pop crowd still knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian's Inferno! Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Green Day are nowhere near forgotten. Granted, not a huge amount of people follow them or know a significant amount of their discography, but pretty much everyone knows at least a couple of GD songs and know that Green Day are "that band that sings American Idiot and 21 Guns and that song about walking alone" (lol) I honestly don't think I know a single thing about the Cure or any songs by them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though they did have trouble filling some select places on the last tour, this wasn’t the case for the UK (actually they did well in most places in Europe and only really struggled in some areas of the US). Also, while I can grant you that the Foos had bigger crowds for their tour than Green Day, that doesn’t mean the guys would have any difficulty with appearing at Glastonbury. If what you’re saying were true, then they wouldn’t have been able to sell out Emirates in 2013 and Hyde Park in 2017 or have pulled that massive crowd at Reading in 2013. As I said, yes Glastonbury is more pop, but the lines between it and Reading are being blurred. So, you’d have to make the argument that they couldn’t even turn up at Reading next year either, for fear of the crowds being too small, and that would honestly be a ludicrous thing to say.
