New retro t-shirts at Everything English

There are 3 new retro Cure shirts at Everything English, but the real reason I'm posting this is because of what they say in their newsletter: "The Cure have just released 3 new retro designs in anticipation of their summer tour. Also a couple of the older designs have been put on sale while supplies last. Buy them here or pay heavy at the concerts!" (Thanks AndytheCurefan)

What do they know that we don't? : )
I really wouldn't get too excited about this. It's probably just an error on their part, or they're referring to the rumored European festival dates.

Update: Here's what EE had to say when they were questioned about this "summer tour": "Well at first there was going to be dates and then not. Then there were going to be Europe only dates and then not. The feeling is that dates will be added as warm up gigs around the Coachella and Pearl shows and there will be at least one "secret show" or two so keep your ears open..."

I think it goes without saying that this is merely speculation on their part, and is not confirmed at all.

  7. Everything English should pay us for this promoting because you know that this being on COF is gonna make it sell out. :P

  8. I suspect that it is unlikely that The Cure have decided that Everything English will have the exclusive rights to announce an upcoming summer tour. Me thinks there is some speculation going on here ;)

  11. It's just one of those nasty tricks to get us to buy buy buy!!

    Or maybe they trying to jump-start Robert into another famous reaction?

  17. OMG! Secret shows.......

    O.o

    Let's see... there's a Saturday evening wide open in between the Pearl and Coachella shows - if I were going (and I am) I wouldn't make any plans for Saturday night...

    This is mere speculation!! But exciting to consider!

  18. Hmm, interesting. I dreamed of a secret show just last night. Too bad there's not enough time between then and now for them to build that venue next to my office... :P

  20. This is a little scary. I dreamt last night (before reading the update from EE) that I saw an ad for Cure shows which looked like they were "typed" on the back of a T-shirt but was actually a tattoo on someone's back. There were four shows, Coachella was one, (I didn't read it but Vegas must have been another), THE BARFLY in London was on there and there was one more which faded before I awoke.

    I have just read the rumour about secret shows and am now firmly in the belief that this was a prophecy! And why shouldn't there be more shows closer to home! Not all of Robert's friends can go to his LV party!!!!

    Silly Curespotting: On the One Show on BBC1 last night, a few bars of Lullaby were aired during an article about school truancy! No, I couldn't work out the link either!
