    "Right before Bob's bday. Very cool"

    That makes me think about that dark album that contractually can only be released 6 months and a day after 4:13 dream. Just thinking...

    And lets just hope they don't party too hard for three days and then try to put on a show.

LOL! so i educate them as i should! (why, child, that is the best guitarist ON THE PLANET!!) :D i already have more budding cure fans!!!

    CAT!!!!!!! why must the cure play such a horrid venue??? (Visions from Austin Music Hall abound) arent they opposed to heat as well? im sure RSx hates it!

    but maybe april wont be that hot???

    Hi Kate and Christina!

    It will be grossly hot, even in April. But if you've never been and can go, you should do it. Just book your hotel now! And bring a sedative to deal with the drunk crowds ;)

    And I Love that you have a picture of you and Porl in your class!

    2004 was my first year going to Coachella, mostly because of The Cure and Radiohead. I've since gone back 3 of the last 4 years. Amazing festival. I sadly can't make it this year.

    Single day tickets will sell out, probably TODAY. They are always limited quantities, unless something drastically changes this year. The festival is usually promoted more as a multi-day event and so they prefer to sell 3-day passes. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

    like joe s said - do you think this is a warm up show? they cant possibly be starting the wishful thinking tour already can they?

    surely not just one show...right? we need more info people!!

    ok...i need to run...we are having an elective fair today in the gym so i gotta run and advertise for my class! hopefully ill have more of the elective class next year and less of the core class! yay electives!

    and i also have pics of RSx from the austin show in my room too! the ones of him smiling at me! :D

  38. KateJanuary 30, 2009 at 10:13 AM

    I have another thought...

    If I recall correctly, it was stated that any album to be released after 4:13 Dream would have to wait at least six months.

    Didn't we calculate that six months would make it this April? Could this be part of a promo tour!?

    Am I crazy?

    Me and the mister will be there! :D He's stoked to get another Cure concert so soon, since he is missing the Big Gig.

    YAY for the CURE!!! And let the wild speculation flow about the Dark Album, baby! Sounds like Robert wanted to spend his 50th birthday in LA, I wonder why?!!!

    I'm not too worried about tix, Cat, since it's an all-GA show. I'm sure there will be some available in March and April.

    I can't wait to see my CoF peeps that can't come to London again so soon!!

    Cat, if you want a hotel room you need to book NOW. All the cheap rooms are already full! I went with full rack rate at the Homewood Suites, mainly because I didn't have to pay in advance or put a deposit in, you can just reserve with a CC#. It's way cheaper to book thru hotels.com or prepay, but I don't have the extra $$ due to going to London!

    Cureheart, I should have booked my hotel when you did...
    AWWWWW what was I thinking???

    Yeesh, now to figure out if I should camp there, should take a trailer to some designated rv site close by or get a hotel!

  60. SJanuary 30, 2009 at 1:11 PM

    If you are planning to go to only one day of the festival, buy your tickets NOW. While the capacity for the festival is about 60,000 per day, about 50,000 of those admissions are allocated to 3-day passes.

    So if you don't want to buy a three day pass, buy your ticket asap.

    See you all there!

    Single day tickets will sell out quickly. They always do.

    Three day passes rarely sell out until the week before the concert, if at all.

    i don't get paid yet, but single day Sunday tix are on my mind, however i might just do that layaway plan to get the 3 day if the 1 day sunday sells out, plus you gotta love some Moz.

    Andy,
    Just layaway the three day ticket. There is an option to only put 10% down and ticketmaster fees right now. Then when it gets closer and you get the tickets you can sell the Saturday one and the Friday one also if you wanted to. I will be there so we will definitely hang out. Where are you staying if you go?

    I'm not sure if I am going to camp out just yet. I am thinking I might take like a toy hauler or something. I hear they have a lot of rv camping sites nearby. Either that or I am camping. Not sure if I can do a hotel they are pricey.

    cureheart, i thought about that regarding PE. fuck it - i'm seeing PE no matter WHAT! i want to see the cure close so hopefully i still can if PE is on a diff stage, but i have already seen the cure at the secret show up waaaaay close and so if i have to forego a bit of curey closeness to see PE i will. last time i saw PE was eighty-freakin'- NINE.

Add that to the drugs, booze and heat and a bunch of bands my old butt has never heard of and it is a pass. However, if the all mighty Parker shows, well...never say never. Seriously looking at the line up every year I only go if I can find 5 bands on 1 day I would go see anyway.

    Birthday present to me!!

    There are always pre-show warm up shows at the Glass House in Pomona.

    I am going to start hydrating and conditioning now for the heat!!!

    '04 I ended up sleeping in my car, this year a Hotel! Yeah!!!

    I also found my ear plugs for MBV. The Santa Monica shows were amazing, I hope they aren't on at the same time as The Cure. Cause no one will be able to hear the Cure if they are!!!

    Can't wait to meet some of you after lurking here for so long!!

    Whooooo!!!

    It´s so good to see CURE will be playing so far 2 dates this year, maybe they´ll do a festivals tour this summer including the rumored Werchter fest as they´ve done several times before.

    And better news if they will launch a large-scale tour around the world celebrating the 30th anniversary, Robert´s 50th bday and maybe the "Dark Album"...



    Have I the right to dream, isn´t it ?

    hey, if anyone needs a ride and is on my way, i think i am going to do a drive from Portland to Indio...with gas so cheap, it will be less than a plane ticket and much more fun!

    Well I'm jealous of all you lucky ducks who are going to this thing!

    Just started a new job so there's no way I'll get time off to go. But I'll be here on concert night waiting for the play list chat! :)

    So, if Robert is spending his 50th here, Mary will be here too. I just think there will be more dates than this. Rationally, not wishful thinking here. They've already played Coachella, so IT JUST SEEMS VERY LIKELY.

    "Friend Of COF": Any clues? ;)

    ...And does anyone remember the days when Robert wouldn't fly? Remember when they took the QE2 for The Prayer Tour?

    I just left Amoeba records (Franz Ferdinand did a in-store free show which was cool dancing in the isles of CDs and vinyls) and they were passing out flyers for Coachella and when I heard "see The Cure," I had the biggest smile on my face.

    Tim, I will be in COF to chat with you!

    I may even switch my day off so I can give my full attention to COF - rather than pretending to work.

    Mad Bob - excellent point. i have Werchter is a go.

    and Debi, i was at Amoeba too. and when i saw people getting the Coachella flyers and saying "oh shit! the cure is gonna be there!" i got all giddy as well.

    sara - i think i'll greyhound it to Indio from LA as well. thinking of camping?

    cat- its cheapest to fly to LAX but the greyhound price might make up the difference....i dont know yet....

    andy- if I go friday I will probably camp out because ill be by myself but I really would like to go friday its just a matter of getting the money together. I dont care too much for going saturday though...not enough bands I know especially not for 120 bucks

    Me too Morris! Holy Christ. This is what I get for not checking COF for a week… I wasn't expecting this!

    Anah- that's what I was thinking... it looks as though they may be gearing up for a "proper tour"; I can't believe Robert's going to be HERE for his b-day?!! So much for "We weren't planning on touring again for awhile". <333333333333333333
    I hope we get a "Dark Tour" in our near future! I hope they can make it to the East Coast soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    What an awesome fucking year this is turning out to be....

    THE CURE PWNS EVERYONE'S ASS

    Sure *seems* like a good chance there would / could be other shows - especially if the second half of the record comes out. I know they can't play the LA area - as per Coachella contract - but does anyone know what that "no play" distance is?

    Thoughts on other shows? Tour? Craig?

    sameoldact-
    I looked into it and theres diff rumors. i heard 2 weeks and i heard a couple of months. however there is an acception. bands can only play at the glasshouse in pomona CA.

    "But there ARE some exceptions. A music venue called The Glasshouse in Pomona, CA will sometimes host popular Coachella acts just a day or 2 before the festival. Because of Goldenvoice's special relationship with the Glasshouse (it's also the only non-Ticketmaster place to buy Coachella tickets) these are the only "official" secret shows."

    so far nothing is scheduled there april 5-20 so i bet SOMEONE from coachella will play there..

    Portishead played the Mayan last year before Coachella so it's not always just the Glasshouse. I don't think a headliner has ever played a secret L.A. warmup show though.

    ohhhhh, forgot to add that we are camping onsite and have purchased a tent with room for two others. all you would need purchase is the campground access which i believe is $55 and bring your own sleeping stuff. we are attending all three days. who said, "me me me?"

    Thanks Sara, for the great info. I guess time will tell...

    It would be great to get the bad taste out of our mouths from the secret show, and the Kimmel (sp?) nightmare (who cares how to spell his name...)

    Last time we were out there in August at night and it was like 100degrees. Being that it is April perhaps less. I'm expecting maybe 80s.

    I stand corrected, a friend of mine says during April at Coachella it gets a little chilly. Like light jacket status.
