25 date tour to be announced later. If that MSG show on the 18th is their last of that tour we could be in business.

[stuartbert two hats]

Looks like they're in America according to their Twitter. They say they're playing all of North America and the few dates announced are already pretty close. We'll see over the next hour if they have dates that clash I suppose.

Why do old people have to write in all capitals?

IT'S VERY VERY IMPORTANT NEWS AND THIS EMPHASISES THAT

 

 

 

 

The Cure won't be at Glastonbury

[Memory Man]

no chance. It took years of pestering and piles of cash from Bestival to get them over, neither of which glastonbury would offer up.

 

they usually do a london gig of some description if they tour though

[Justiceforcedave]

Yes please! Would be a great booking.

[blue6field]

The cure at Glastonbury would be my perfect headliner!!

[The Trickster]

If I was sitting next to José right now, I'd be saying no way to him.

[FloorFiller]

are they ever gonna release that 4:14 Scream album they talked about, or has that been scrapped now? was pretty underwhelmed when they announced it so i hope they're at work on a new album proper rather than an outtakes album

[TomViolence]

A dream booking for me. Seen them a couple of times in recent years and they've been outstanding!

[TomViolence]

so i hope they're at work on a new album proper rather than an outtakes album

agreed. IIRC, Smith was quite coy about whether they would release it and he really didn't seem fond of the songs.

yeah i remember him saying something like it was weird to still be working on that album considering half of the lineup who recorded it were no longer in the band

Their last US date is madison square garden the Saturday before glasto, it looks promising.

There are still twenty-one dates to be announced though.

Yeah apologies, I just read they're announcing the rest of the dates in January.

Interesting, it could go either way then!

 

The delay could be mean a gap in the tour for European dates, so they are being announced latter as a 2nd leg or more likely they just need to finish off logistics for those dates and its going straight on from June.

 

Would be ace!

[dondo]

One of my favourite bands and would be great to see them at Glastonbury.  Seen them a few times over the years- first time back in 1989 I think

[iamthehorn]

I approve.

[theouterlimits]

If they were to headline I think that would make them the band that have headlined most? If I remember correctly they have headlined 3 times before - a record equalled by only Van Morrison and Coldplay

[Amy Lawn]

I would love this. The Twilight Sad are supporting them! Imagine seeing The Cure and The Twilight Sad in The Hollywood Bowl, the jammy fucken septics.

[the wonderwhy]

I thought Editors and The Twilight Sad was cool. This is infinitely better. 

[dentalplan]

Ah, Editors. Now there's a band that should give up.

maybe the delay is due to them doing Coachella and/or Bonaroo who announce their line ups around then.

I've never seen em before and apparently they're cool live. I agree their recent output is getting a bit... tedious, perhaps.
