Best. News. Ever.

[PurpleFire]

Terrible news...When Reading and Leeds could have taken a step forward in 2012...they have booked a band that dont really suit R/L and took 3 steps backwards!

A crowd full of 16-24 year olds listening to a band who were at there pinical 10 years before they were born!

RUBBISH BOOKING!

[Vieuphoria]

oh bull.shit.

as an 18 year old who listened to them for the first time when they were first rumoured I can say I'm delighted and so will many others when they listen to the brilliance that are The Cure.

I bloody love the Cure! Think I'm going to have to buy a day ticket as going to Bestival 2 weeks later.

Time for some of you to grow up and put your toys back in your prams! Bunch of spoilt kids.

[lharris92]

theres no need to be bickering over peoples opinions... where would that get us... 1000 pages of garbage.

glad they are taking a gamble even if they aren't my cup of tea

[SoLoCo]

Everyone needs to shut up with the "all the 18 year olds will be dissapointed". Many people have said on here that The Cure does relate to a demographic of that and being 19 myself I could't begin to express how glad I am by this. Great set of headliners this year, cheers Melvin!

It's complete bullshit everybody saying the teenagers don't want the cure. Me and my friends are 17/18 and i've sent a text round to the people who are thinking of coming next year and all of them have been really positiive.

Great booking, something different and something that makes the fest stand out from V and T.

[ChloeLovesLeeds]

There are some of us "youngsters" that appreciate good music. I'm 19 and i've been brought up on the cure, I couldn't be happier. Can't wait!

[Vieuphoria]

Exactly.

This band influenced generations of musicians. Who all are massive with the Reading audience. I'm baffled that people seem to suggest that younger fans "won't know THe Cure".

Really Recommend watching this.... Not sure if they're in order but it gives a good overview.

Having a look at the Reading festival Facebook page and the response to people posting about the news from this site is incredibly positive, i haven't read a single negative post about them.

[Prufrock]

Best news ever! I though Benn was gonna let us down after all the waiting!

People around here have been asking for the cure for years. To those, Congrats. Solid booking for R/L

As a 17 year old I disagree, hopefully this booking will attract a newer crowd. Actual music fans how about that?!

Maybe there will be less pricks that go to get pissed up and more people interested in the music..
