2012 Lineup

[jonodillieono]

How do you know this? The idea of 'recognising' something is that you don't know it, but when you hear it you remember it. Have you heard every single song?

If this is what it is, it should be a instant sell out really and IMO if Shikari play against The Cure then the tent will be rammed.

[gazza_20]

Well I've been listening to the most popular songs (on youtube) for the past hour or so and nothing rings a bell. I am enjoying it though and I plan on listening to Disintegration later on or tomorrow (as I've heard from a friend that it's meant to be the best)

Robert Smith won Godlike genius at the NME's in 2009. /justsaying

[Chr1s]

The Cure, Kasabian and Foo Fighters a weak set of headliners? Really? I think it's a strong set. You have the current big Indie band in Kasabian, the huge stadium act in the Foos and the cult legends in The Cure. Just hope Melvin books a really strong undercard too.

[jonodillieono]

I've listened to it and like it but it's really not familiar to me.

[TYLER_4]

you must have heard of fire in cairo?

[o0oDrummer]

That is true.

Getting the right band to play same time as The Cure is the thing. It'd have to be some time of classic band. Would Pixies fit? Although I'd say they'd have more chance of playing under The Cure.

PJ Harvey?

[rivalschools.price]

The cure have definately more than one famous song.

i'm not a fan but even i can think of lovecats,friday i'm in love and boys don't cry(not 100% sure that 'boys don't cry' is the cure and can't be arsed to wiki it)

anyway,its not just about how many songs that people who arn't fans of the band can name, the cure are definately a big band.

some people think that Metallica have only done enter sandman even though they have sold something like 100million albums.

[beau1]

Its not there own Gig though is it... Foo Fighters played for 3hours when at MK bowl but will only play 2 at Leeds!

I think The Cure will play a greatest hits set, because if they play album tracks that nobody has really listen to it could become quite tedius! Madness last year springs to mind... everybody in the crowd was waiting for Baggy Trousers, Our House and Night Boat to Cairo.

After Muse finished, origins of symmetry it turned into a greatest hits montarge and was incredidble...hit after hit, one of the most brilliant sets ive ever whitnessed! If The Cure did simlar they would go down much better ibelive!

[beau1]

just listened to it and no

[Gingo]

To be honest I have a very wide taste in music and have listened to a lot of different genres and types of music and The Cure were not a band I had come across in my life, now I havnt heard every single song that they have made but from the singles and hits they had I have listened to on Youtube I dont recognise anything by them

It is possible for people to miss certain bands especially if they were not around when they were big and since the band were away for a good period of time they can easily slip under the radar. Im not saying this is going to be the same for everyone but I cant imagine i'm the only person who has happened to not listen to much of them

[LeifErikson]

[brettredmayne]

Try inbetween days, close to me, Boys don't cry, Lovecats, Friday I'm in Love, Just Like Heaven, Lullaby, Lovesong. Those are the cure songs that are probably most famous to non-hardcore fans.

[Gingo]

I can't believe you have a very wide taste in music if you have never come across the cure!

I would love new order

[dclarke12]

I am very pro the cure I have to admit (although I would prefer Green Day or SOAD) and would like to see them but I think they'd do slightly better as a sub (which I know would never happen and they'd demand a longer slot etc.) I also think that anyone who argues that friday i'm in love wouldn't be one of the highlights of the weekend is deluded. In fact I would much rather have them over Kasabien who, while I enjoy one or two songs, really get on my tits with their egos...

[beau1]

New Order wouldn't sub to The Cure, as the two bands hate each other. A likely option is the Pixies as they used to be a support act for The Cure and have a history of playing beneath them.
