I had big hopes for next year, been an absolute dreadful first run of names. 

I'm just surprised at how pop-leaning it's been so far - this year was a bit of everything with metal, soul, indie, folk, pop! It's also very "current".

Does anyone know how long Blackweir is having gigs for this year?

 

With their touring schedule I'm struggling to see where The Cure fit in unless its a weekday before Teddy Swims. 

[WalesGolfMadrid]

Looks like The Cure is announced tomorrow at 10am.

 

Surely

A Glastonbury Headliner points toward The Cure. 

 

A true icon (non plural) is a bit weird but could point toward Robert Smith.

Yeah that's throwing me as well - plenty of solo headliner acts but can't see many of them a) being suitable for Blackweir or b) being particularly active next summer.

 

Potentially Florence?

[Bob123456]

Been told they definitely have the cure but not 100% on venue should imagine it will be blackweir

[Andburn]

The Streets possibly. 

[Jericode]

Doubt it, why wait another day when they just announced the tour? Playing Bristol too so I'd say unlikely.

Florence would be cool. No Cardiff show on their arena tour.

So wish I was nearer to Wales for this one!

At last something for my tastes at Blackweir

[WalesGolfMadrid]

Should be a good week. The Cure and then Metallica.

What a week that’s going to be for me The Cure on Wednesday, Garth Brooks on the Saturday and then back to Cardiff for Metallica on the Sunday

[Powder_Finger]

Told ya.

[JRhys29]

Only gripe would be not having either a Mogwai / Slowdive from the other shows but I'll take it!

[BlackFoxx]

Any ideas on price for The Cure show? Any advice also about Blackweir shows in general?

Would imagine around the 75 to 80 price bracket. Same as the other uk headlines

Went this year for Noah Kahan - relatively easy to get in and out. Food places inside looked rammed so would suggest eating in town before going in. Bar queues OK but you're looking at £8+ for a Madri.

Manics supporting I’ve heard

What happened to this? 

 

Think it was always going to be Blackweir for The Cure as soon as Glasgow/Edinburgh sold out. It was just about pining down a date - they've compromised and gone mid-week. 

 

I guessed it would be after IOW last week - IOW, Wales, Ireland, probably Denmark (Roskilde) and then Poland just makes sense.

Double announcement for the castle 

 

 

[JRhys29]

No way does Billy Ocean sell out

[Bob123456]

Heard theres still  more blackweir to be announced 

[charlierc]

Two Door Cinema Club have said they're announcing a Welsh show at 10am tomorrow. Could be worth keeping an eye out for if it is to be a Cardiff date.

Ah that'll be the one that Depot is teasing on their socials then.
