The Cure

[Quacky Mouse]

Offered a ticket on Dice at 6:55. Found out show started 7:45. Not enough time from Camberwell and I'd not had dinner.

 

If only I was told slightly earlier!

Very jealous of those that were there…just watched the livestream, they sounded amazing. Love the new album and my favourite ever Cure song (M) was played…excited for the next tour!

Seen bits of it

Planning a day next week to watch it all 

Tried for tix but no luck

 

Plainsong at Glastonbury still makes hairs on back of next stand up one of my favourite sets ever

I like The Cure, but their Glasto set didn't do anything for me tbh. They didn't feel like a festival band, and I started to feel a bit bored. I ended up in the T&C field 😅

It’s unlikely we’ll ever hear their best song played anywhere these days

You mean their epic, universally acclaimed, greatest sound ever heard in the Pyramid field Glasto set, in 2019, or a different one? 😉

Don't take too long and i've read that they will be taking it down again within the next week or so.

Wow new album is immense! Get them back on the pyramid!

[Spindles]

Yeah.  New record is fantastic, they still sound as vital as ever.  Amazing considering they've been going for getting on for half a century. 

 

I had misgivings in 2019, as everyone I know who ever saw them live said they were dull, but decided to give them a crack at the last minute and it remains one of my favourite Glastonbury memories, the sound was insane, Robert Smith was cute as hell and the setlist the perfect mix of leaning into Disintegration era tracks and the pop stuff.

 

I hope that they have one more headline set in them in the next few years while they're still playing live.

Killing an Arab.

 

No dislikes please, I’m not saying this for political reasons, it’s simply (IMO) their best song

They played it in 2018 when I saw them in Hyde Park. 

 

I've read quite a few articles about how it is a very misunderstood song

I need to give it a listen. Not the thread for it but The Cure, Olivia and Stevie Wonder would be a great set of headliners.
