that's the best I could find an enjoyable watch nonetheless

DISINTEGRATION IS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER!!!!

My guess is that Reading and Leeds will count as two dates in much the same way as Hurricane and Southside.

[lharris92]

just a thought that crossed my mind however unlikely it may be: could they be doing Phoenix Festival if that goes ahead?

Apparently Phoenix hasn't even got any headliners booked yet.

a part of what I've heard about Phoenix is that they tried to book The Cure and failed.

most people here are saying that the vast majority of the young r/l crowd will be in the nme tent. not sure if that will be the case, i'd probably fall into that category of the young reading crowd and i know a lot of people who like the cure. in fact i've just searched the cure's facebook page and 43 of my friends 'like' the page. I'm not saying the cure will be popular with many of the younger crowd, but i dont think its as a niche booking as people on here are making it out to be. not all the young reading crowd are the type who wear them leavers hoodies and snapbacks and wear sunglasses at night, some of us have good taste in music

Just had some info which suggests that The Cure are not headlining, which to me would most ;likely mean they're not playing.

I remain unconvinced either way.

so any idea who the 3rd headliner is if its not the cure?

something was put to me which in theory should be spot on but the reality gets to show it often isn't. This info would have meant that The Cure weren't headlining.

The phone call I'd been planning to make was made after that info, and while it didn't bring any other new R/L info it did give me some info which - again in theory but not always in practice - puts what I was told to bed.

So I'm a bit stumped really.

If I had to plump either way I'm still with The Cure as the most likely - but I've never been sure about them.

Noooo.

Although If by some miracle they do play the NME... I'm so there.

[eFestivals]

sounds confusing do you still reckon strictly R&L were off the mark or could they still play NME stage?

seems hugely unlikely that they'd do anything less than headline when they've turned down at least one big headlining offer elsewhere.

And that's before getting onto their egos which make it very unlikely they'd do less than headline.

[Vieuphoria]

All I want to do is see The Cure live

[eFestivals]

Aye, if they don't headline I'll be really gutted now. If they hadn't been rumored then I'd have been fine, but to have the carrot dangled and then whipped away? Too much for one man to handle.

I'm near enough as certain as I ever get about anything that they're headlining at least one UK fest this year.

The problem is that I don't have a handle on which one, tho R/L seems about the most likely.

[dip]

Which other festivals are there?

[mrtourette]

Latitude, Phoenix (although Neil has heard otherwise), Hop Farm (seems unlikely).

Latitude, Phoenix (although Neil has heard otherwise), Hop Farm (seems unlikely).

Latitude - seems unlikely because of other festie dates that weekend.

Phoenix - I've heard The Cure knocked that back.

Hop Farm - possible, but it's run by the same guy as Phoenix, so seems unlikely.

Things mostly suggest R/L, but there's other lesser possibilities.
