Just a reminder about the pre-sale today. It will start at 10am eastern on the Ticketmaster website.
Q104 and Live Nation are both using the same password/promotion code: LOVESONG.
You do not need to go to the Q104 or Live Nation websites, and you do not need to register with either website. You just need to enter the LOVESONG code at the Ticketmaster website I posted above.

Tim Pope at Wembley, will meet with Robert

From Time Pope's website:
"As if this week wasn’t already busy enough, while I was in Rome I got an e-mail from Robert Smith for The Cure’s Wembley show, saying he’d put me down for three tickets. I had to go, despite being knackered. The show was bloody excellent. The keyboards were gone and a lot of stuff was played by Porl on guitar, which gave the songs a whole new feel. It was as if they were written only the day before and had lost that Eighties twang (for which we all get accused). Call me an ‘anorak’ but I counted amongst their excellent set 18 videos on the old Pope walking stick. 18 videos is more videos than most people have probably done these days. Anyway, I shall be meeting up with Bob socially, or for a curry, in the next week or so, at a secret location in the UK. They’ve just recorded a whole new album, which after the show I am very keen to hear… Should be an interesting meeting!"
(Thanks Sarah)

London, Oberhausen, Roterdam photos added

Sorry for the delay, but the photos from London have been posted.
