Night 5 of the LatAm 2013 tour. They're halfway home, 4 shows down, 4 more to go. First time ever in Chile, and another massive stadium show. At least 35,000 (now said to be 47,000!) fans should be there tonight, and we all hope each & every one of them has the time of their lives!

Buenos Aires got the first playing of Primary on this tour, will Santiago get a first, too? Maybe Same Deep Water As You? Plainsong/Disintegration set opener/closer again, or back to Open/End? Kiss Me encore? Disintegration encore? Pornography encore? Lots of questions now that there's been some changes to the sets. We'll get some answers soon.

Tonight's schedule: Gates open at 6 pm, Amoniaco at 7 pm, Prehistoricos at 8 pm, The Cure at 9 pm. Check the local time in Santiago here or with the clock over there on the right.

Warning: There are only 4 more of Roger's magical autographed tambourines left in existence! Try to capture one tonight! But be kind and don't fight or injure anyone while doing so. It isn't really magical....or is it? :)

We have commitments from a few reporters tonight, but if anyone else who's going to the show would like to help us, especially with the song by song live setlist reports, please contact me. Can never have too much backup. Post in the comments, email me at craigatcof(at)gmail(dot)com, or on Twitter @CraigatCoF, or use WhatsApp (email me and we can set it up). Thank you so much, and enjoy the show!

      Heron, sweetheart ! So glad you're in Chile for The Cure. Hope you'll get a chance to say hi to our European friends who reached or are about to reach LatAm : Fred, Antoinette, Nico, Antti, Tom, Vicky, Mauro, Bill and maybe a few others. Give 'em a big kiss for me. And enjoy as much as you can (I see your smile in my head!).
