The Cure

[cdm22]

Just announced they are to headline Firenze Rocks 2019 16th June so are definitely about around Glastonbury time.

Would definitely be there- one of my favourite bands.  BST gig this summer was superb

As I mentioned on another thread, my son camped next to the daughter of one of the band at Reading Fest. She told him The Cure were booked to play Glastonbury 2019. So I naturally take that as solid confirmation! ?

Was it Reeves Gabrels' daughter?

Oh you love it Neil, the thrill of the chase, the whiff of a rumour. Will they, won't they? 

We've never felt more alive

It's nice to actually start having some rumours to discuss.  Things were starting to get a wee bit fractious, like we'd all been on a car journey for way too long.

Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet?

Only just seen this; gives it even more credence.

I now have a genuinely troubling mental image of efests being crammed into a single bus stuck on the A303. Neil at the wheel slowly losing his mind as we all sit behind him making lists and shit jokes.

Seat number 9 is empty, with a copy of Pablo Honey in it.

Replace 'Mount Splashmore' with Glastonbury

Back on topic, looking through their setlist history it looks like Cut Here is a real rarity live.  I know it was written in memory of Billy Mackenzie; is that why it doesn't get played much?

With The Nal spraying water out of the window to convince us all it's raining.

Russy acting as bus DJ taking requests but refusing to play anything other than Nick Cave songs.

Ask for anything else and he calls you a c**t

Oh fuck me I thought the Firenze Rocks date was 16th July, not June! Even better.

[When Jokers Attack]

Definitely. Been listening to Faith a lot the last few days. Still never seen them live.

Dunno - he didn't mention her name, but she was around the same age as him (18)

Come to think of it, I'm sure someone else did the stalker thing on another thread the other day and determined that it probably was.

Builds extra to it though, they are going to be in Europe right over Glasto period and won't be doing BST due to obvious reasons. 

[ChemicalBrother]

I saw them at the farm in 1990 & 1995 & I’m sure a helicopter had to land in front of the stage half way through one of those sets?????

Obviously I hope there’s no need for a helicopter next year, but with their ever ageing crowd, it might be wise to put them on standby.

It was most probably one of Simon Gallup's (bassist) daughters as they would be roughly the right age to go to Reading.

Simon Gallup looks like an extra from Grease.

He's too young.

I really hope that they are going to play.... if they do, nothing will stop me from being there
