Setlist tonight looks insane, some proper good deep cuts made into the set, very different to the first night

Stick! That’s almost my perfect set list (throw in All I Want and we’re there!)…now that I know M is back in rotation, will be disappointed if they leave it out in Dublin!

Charlotte Sometimes back on rotation makes me very happy!!

Setlists have been great so far.

I've put a playlist together on Spotify with all the songs they've played so far except the unreleased ones for those interested:

Bob and the lads leaving The Lovecats on the subs bench still stings.

I think the current pop encore is faultless really. Lack of Lovecats doesn't bother me that much.

5 stars for their encore at Big G as well. But they would have melted minds right at the finale if they'd just weakened resolve for a moment and played the fucking song.

It's not even in the top 5 Cure pop songs mate.

I like their pop bangers better than the doomy goth workouts. I agree that Inbetween Days, Just Like Heaven are better - but at G19 it was a tiny missing corner of a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

Still a fun gig, mind.

I honestly thought they just never played it but it has had an outing in 2019. I reckon it'll pop up once this tour given they seem to be really leaning into their catalogue and changing things up.

If you watch the G19 gig on the BBC it was our group that started the "Lovecats" chant you can hear as it fades out.

Ah cheers for this mate. I'm a casual fan, so love seeing it through the eyes of a proper one.

Great job - thanks for this.  Need to take a break from the new 1975 one so will move onto this next 😂.  This will be good listening before seeing them in December. Thanks

What are the chances of The Cure playing festivals next year??

I've been thinking about this. Really not sure. They're meant to be doing US and other countries outside of Europe in Spring. So that might bleed into festival season. I could see them being booked at some fests though. I'd like to catch them again next year.

If anyone has a a couple of spare standing tickets they’re looking to shift for Leeds please give me a shout

[WestCountryGirl]

The Figurehead?! The Drowning Man?!

This album is going to be a damn banger if these 3 new songs are anything to go by. They've ditched trying to write another Friday I'm in Love and have gone full shoe-gaze. I'm all for it. They've done enough pop over the years, and those songs will remain brilliant and still played live.

I'm sure there may eventually be one song to try and attract the masses. These 3 songs are the deepest and hardest (emotionally) they've done in decades. There is grown-up side to them, they are not angsty or whimsical...I dare say it they remind me of Bowie's Black Star. A last hurrah, of brilliant song-writing.

 

They also still sound brilliant as a live band which helps a lot too...how is Robert's voice so good?

I haven't heard the new songs, waiting for to hear it in the flesh but I'm very excited to hear them.

Absolutely can't wait for Cardiff gig.  The setlist looks spot on I reckon

Can't believe they've brought out their shitest song on a couple of the recent gigs, Hot Hot Hot!!!, terrible terrible song. Hope they don't play it in Leeds!
