The Cure playing Hyde Park in the Summer

[ivanthereasonable]

I think they are mad having an event in a park named after a madman. What would the doctor think ?

 

[bucksoutcast]

I saw them in Manchester last year.They were superb even though they cut it short a bit due to him having a bad throat .

I love The Cure -brings back memories of when I was a youngster. I find their songs are timeless, really looking forward to it.

Bought tickets for this this morning and coming over from the US for it. Cracking lineup - Twilight Sad are good, too, and more to be announced. Couldn't pass this one up!

All over this like.

Yup, had quite a bit of their stuff and thought it was pretty good, but saw them supporting The Cure a couple of summers ago and they sounded great - they must be a favourite of Bob's

 

[riffraff]

The Cure, Interpol, Goldfrapp, Ride, Slowdive, Editors

Fuck me that's a decent lineup that even if the event is a Barclaycard sponsor fest

Not as good a line up as the first time I saw them: The Cure, The Associates and The Passions but it's certainly better than the meccanno man robot fillum that supported them the next time around.

I love The Cure but it feels like they've been doing a lap of honour for about 6 years now, endlessly touring their back catalogue. So unless they have new material out (which I doubt) then I think it will be more or less the same set as they played at Leeds Festival in 2012

I beg to differ! The APE thing at Victoria Park, the day after The National gig, has Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Patti Smith, St Vincent and Courtney Barnett.

Courtney Barnett is dreadful

 

[Kent_Mackem]

Sir Bob of Goth still says a quick "Q" Inbetween songs.

 

[GTG]

Courtney Barnett is dreadful

I'm not sure if you could actually be more wrong there!

She's fantastic.

Completely spoiled for choice with big gigs in London next year. I wonder if there's actually too much of an overlap of fans and you'll see reduced attendances/cheap tickets going spare.

The XX, Nick Cave, The National, LCD Soundsystem, The Cure etc all playing in weeks of each each other. You can do two of them tops, unless you're minted.

 

[Martin F]

I'm expecting a tour.

Going to be their only European gig in 2018.

Going to be their only European gig in 2018.

Thank heaven for small mercies

Same monotone voice in every song I've heard, terrible on the guitar, bland etc.
