THE CURE ARE THE 3RD HEADLINER

[Vieuphoria]

what do you think the opening tune will be? The Kiss??

The performance they did at the nme awards a couple of years ago was absolutely dreadful.

cant wait to see the cure play, one of those cult bands that ive wanted to see for a few years now and never gotten round to it!

much better booking than kasabian imo. looking forward to foos aswell, solid set of headliners for leeds/reading this year!

[danny12345]

I don't think it was that they were bad at the NME Awards show, just that people wanted to hear 'the hits'...

[A-Rob]

Strong set of headliners this year, it nice to see reading going back to it's roots

_{FUCK YES SO EXCITED}

I am very happy- Leeds fest is just up the road and I'm a massive Cure fan so day ticket will be bought no doubt. My 3 year old son will be jealous as he loves the Cure especially "In Between days"

Brilliant news, at 42 I'm certainly not a 'kid' anymore but they were my face band when I was 14-17 ish and I never got to see them live.

[rosewillyface]

I'm 17 and a lot of people I know love The Cure, I think it's a good booking! However not so thrilled seeing as my group of friends are going to Southside and they're headlining there as well, not sure if it's worth going to both now but we'll have to see when the rest of the line-up is announced.

Can somebody tell me where this came from

kinda happy they got it, still wont see them though aha

The Cure have made some of the best pop music ever committed to tape.

But they are also one of the dullest live bands I have ever seen. Would have much preferred Blur (on the strength of live performance), but I'm not one of those people who cries into his beer over one act not being to his taste, headliner or otherwise.

Great news as far as i'm concerned (almost tempted to attend for the first time in years), those stating that they were at their pinnacle many years ago, why does this not apply to Metallica whenever they headline??

Absolute killer booking, just what Reading needed.

A good fit but surely not big enough anymore.

they've been mid-way down the line-up for the past few times they've played haven't they? And it's not like they've got bigger since, it's the other way.

The last time they played was 3rd but they subbed to Pearl Jam at R&L and to Rammstein at Soni before.

i saw them at Reading twice in the early 2000's, and I'm sure they were lower than 3rd down both times.
