That opening salvo is gonna lose the non partisans.

I was thinking that too. Anyone along for a casual look is gonna be out of there if they use the 3 song rule.

To be fair they'd been rinsing pretty much the exact same setlist ever since I saw them at Reading in 2012, they had to change it up eventually.

[Winslow Leach]

Playing Burn second is an interesting choice, tilting hard at fans of The Crow 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Real possibility of them doing a Radiohead.

As a slightly more casual Cure fan, I’m worried I’m going to be quite bored in the first half. Unless I do some serious swatting up I guess ?

First 10 at Hydpe Park:

 

1. Plainsong
2. Pictures of You
3. High
4. A Night Like This
5. The Walk
6. The End of the World
7. Lovesong
8. Push
9. In Between Days
10. Just Like Heaven

[CaledonianGonzo]

Much more like it.

[Gnomicide]

Next gig is Friday at Nove Rock, Austria. It will be interesting to see if they change anything after a big gap.

[Homer]

Plainsong
Pictures of You
Lullaby
High
The End of the World
Lovesong

I'd say that's likely and I'd not blame him. Who can be arsed with all that.

Saw them in 2012. Just checked. 35 songs. Felt like an eternity. Never again.

If the setlists look like that rolling into the G Ill do the first third, then hit Janelle and then catch The Cures last 5 or 6 maybe.

Shit getting real now, clashes all over the place. Including on Thursday this year which is a new one.

That Cure setlist looks good to me. I love them but their discography is too sprawling for me to have currently bothered to get a real grip of so there’s always gonna be a few songs I don’t know, but there’s enough big hitters scattered throughout to keep me happy.

Sunday night is proper clusterfuck. At the moment just burying my head in the sand

Remarkable how Bob's voice hasn't aged a day in several decades, and how the man wrote a handful of pop songs that would have been hits in literally any era of popular music, all while looking like a divorced scarecrow.

Not sure if it's pedantic to point out (to no one in particular) that that song is called Close to Me.

Ah maaaan, you got to hear The Kiss. I've seen them 12 times and that is the one favourite I have never heard live

I’m sorry. But truth be told, for me it was a less than inspiring gig in large parts. Support was NGHFB and Everlast

I'd have a small flutter on you making a last minute swerve to Rex Orange County.

Got to be honest, yep, the odds on that are coming in every day. VW at the Pyramid then up to the park for rex, could be a cracking Sunday evening

I'm sat here staring at my itinerary printed out from Clashfinder and I'm gonna stick until gates open.

Whatever happens on the day happens. But Sunday - much like the whole week - is shaping up wonderfully.

But I'm nailed on for Janelle, esp. with a three year old in tow on Sunday. I'm minimising walking distances to travelling between Kidz Field / Pyramid / WH.

Even Wednesday / Thursday is jam packed.
