The limited number of cheaper 3 day passes went fast! Prices keep rising. Toronto is now $180, Chicago is $180, Denver is $160.
Will there be single day passes? Last year, there were. For Chicago, they didn't go on sale until late July, when they announced the daily lineup. They were $60 each day. No guarantees for this year, but it seems likely.
The much more important question? Will there be some Cure solo shows between each weekend of these festivals? They did it last year for ACL, so fingers crossed for some more this year.
Info now posted on the official site.

ReplyDeleteSo excited for those peeps that will be able to enjoy greatness!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like tickets have been on sale for a while, considering that the prices have almost doubled. Was The Cure's participation just confirmed?
ReplyDeleteFor Toronto? Yeah, the initial lineup had already been announced. Cure were just added tonight.
DeleteI'm going to wait on one day tickets to go on sale. I'm not going to spend $180 or more to see a bunch of bands in whom I have little or no interest.
DeleteJust got tix for Chicago
ReplyDeleteI will be in Denver!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo! I live in Denver!!! Ticket purchased!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish there were stand-alone shows for us non-festival goers in the US. Wishful thinking at this point!
ReplyDeleteI think there's at least some hope of solo shows between these festivals. They added some last year between the two weekends of ACL, so maybe a couple between each of the Riotfest weekends? Can't imagine them flying back and forth that much.
DeleteBut maybe they have other plans while here?
I'm tired of the festivals too but ya gotta do what ya gotta do ;)
DeleteRobert won't live forever.....we're lucky he made it through the '80's! Lol
WOO HOO!!! THANK YOU ROBERT!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSee ya in Chicago.....again :)
Do we know if they're playing both the 6th and the 7th? or just one day?
ReplyDeleteJust one day at each show. The dates for each bands will be announced later.
DeleteHey! Sorry if this is not the proper way to reach you, Craig, but I couldn't find a contact form. Just wanted to let you know about a Cure's Charlotte Sometimes cover that I made. Hope you enjoy it... Cheers! ;)

For future reference, there's a link with his e-mail address in the column on the right. :)
DeleteWhat day for Toronto. Can you get a one day pass. Pray it will be the sunday night.
ReplyDeleteDaily lineups haven't been announced yet. Same with 1 day passes, but they will most likely be available at a later date.
DeleteLast year, the Chicago single day passes & daily lineups were announced in late July.
Craig, how much were they? I'm not going to hit up Chicago, but this may give me an idea of what to expect for Toronto.
DeleteThey started at $60.
DeleteSo no italy or EU at all in september
ReplyDeleteCraig, what about the italy concert rumours? Any News? Spiral 69 said, News very soon...but...
ReplyDeleteNo news yet.
DeleteThank you Craig!!!
DeleteColorado is doable.
ReplyDelete@Ro May: now the Spiral 69 said: "if not it will be September, then it will be October"
ReplyDeleteThank you @fmjews!! The last thing we loose is hope...we waited for 26 years in argentina😏
DeleteNot really related, I just found this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-2009-THE-CURE-BAND-SIGNED-AUTOGRAPHED-GUITAR-X3-ROBERT-SMITH-PORL-SIMON-/191168783110?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c828c2306
ReplyDelete"SIGNED BY
ROBERT SMITH WHO ADDED SOME SORT OF INSCRIPTION AFTER HIS SIGNATURE"
The inscription is "huh?". I wonder if this is the guitar that RS wrote about in ht blog once... telling people not to buy it.
Are we planning a Chicago after party again like at Lolla last year? It was at Neo on Tue north side and it was super fun!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely should!
DeleteAre we planning a Chicago after party again like at Lolla last year? It was at Neo on Tue north side and it was super fun!
ReplyDeleteNeo if they play Sunday
ReplyDeleteexit if they play fri or sat
Sounds fabulous. Any idea on time, or is it posted in a group somewhere?
DeleteI think it's a bit early for exact details just yet. We don't even know the day and time The Cure are playing. The show is 4 months away, and schedules won't be announced until July.
DeleteDon't worry, though. As soon as Kamar has everything finalized, I'll post it on the front page.
http://www.irishtimes.com/blogs/ontherecord/2014/05/14/why-acts-play-festivals/
ReplyDeleteprobably the reason why the cure mainly play festivals these days
Seems hard to imagine the Cure will pass up on the chance to play an entire album! Fingers crossed for Denver!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't the entire albums be for albums that are 10 years old? Anyone want to hear self-titled in full?
ReplyDeleteNo. Riot Fest is 10 years old. The albums can be any age. Essential albums, not albums that are 10 years old.
DeleteOh, that'd be grand!
DeleteSo I'm holding out for single day tickets on sale later to save money on ticket prices and only go for The Cure. But until the day schedule is out, I don't want to make plans to go to Chicago or Denver. I wouldn't be able to go if it were on a Friday. :(
ReplyDeleteIs RiotFest reveal the left band soon?
ReplyDeleteDue to the mistery I think is a good chance of that band is CURE.
Well, wishful thinking too.
