00:43 - @fons36: "unfortunately. End of show. Cure not last band on main stage tonight so no extra time. So much for the live update"
00:25 - @fons36: "amazing sound (100 Years). They sound even tighter than pinkpop. End. The song ; not the show hopefully:-)"
00:10 - @fons36: "reeves too low in the mix (Hungry Ghost)"
23:57 - @fons36: "crowd going wild at a forest"
22:24 - @fons36: "almost dark here 22:24 local time. 30 degrees celcius. Hot. Thunderstorms all around but still dry. Crew setting up gear."
22:06 - @fons36: "elbow just finished. 40 minutes till the cure."
21:19 - @fons36: "Merchandise at #rw12"

Thanks to Fons (@fons36) for the live reports tonight.

Skynet will have a live webcast from the festival, but still no word on whether or not The Cure's set will be shown. Details at Festileaks (English). This says The Cure will be included, but that's not official. (Thanks @annefrankd & @RijanMulder)
Update: The Cure have given permission for the live webcast tonight, but only the first hour. Watch here.

    that would be pretty cool if Robert joined blink 182 during their set and they did "all of this"

    Mark Hoppus tweeted about how excited he is that the cure are playing https://twitter.com/markhoppus/status/218386016896159744/photo/1

      Official Werchter page says 22:45 - 00:35. They were originally only given 90 minutes (23:00 - 00:30), but have apparently been given a bit more time.

    Would it be fair comment to suggest that Robert is being very gracious in allowing the shows to be streamed live?

    Possibly in return for the rights to use the footage for a 2012 tour DVD release along the lines of 2005's Festival DVD?

    Nico, notice the note that says that the songs on the list equal 101 minutes, and makes note of the fact that they have 110 minutes. It sounds like there's going to be room for a short one or two song encore.
