"creeeeeak... AS OF DECEMBER 3RD 2010, THIS IS THE ONLY CURE PERFORMANCE OF ANY DESCRIPTION BOOKED FOR 2011... WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING ANY OTHER EUROPEAN FESTIVALS, AND UNLESS SOMETHING REMARKABLE HAPPENS, WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING ANY OTHER EUROPEAN SHOWS! THIS IS AS CLEAR AND AS DEFINITE AS WE CAN BE... SO IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE 120+ MINUTES OF THE CURE NEXT YEAR (AS WELL AS A DAZZLING PANOPLY OF OTHER GREAT ACTS) WE WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU GO TO BESTIVAL! (HOWEVER, IF YOU LIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER WAITING A WHILE BEFORE BOOKING YOUR TICKET... YOU NEVER KNOW... ) ONWARDS! RSX"

Yay!
ReplyDeleteSo which is it?? Bestival the only show of 2011 or some mysterious South American show also???
ReplyDeleteyes and oh and...lalala...
ReplyDeleteChile Lollapaloooooooooooooooooooooooza
ReplyDeleteHope it´s not Rock (?) In Rio. So far the acts are sh**.
ReplyDeleteBut
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Who goes to Chile goes to some carnivalesque and/or tanguesque countries, doesn´t one?
I hope it´s Rock in Rio! Fuck the other acts! I only hope it´s not 120minutes+. I want 3 hours show!
ReplyDelete(Especially considering that the concerts they did in Brazil in 1996were weak tea! - after 2004 they became a powerful band again!)
And I hope they don´t use presets. They don´t need them.
I hope it isn't the only chance to see them, Bestival? Worstival if you live in the north of the UK (like me)... Really thought Chicago Lolla was on the cards, being the 20th anniversary year (as oposed to the Chile Lolla).
ReplyDelete120+ minutes sounds fine to me. Hopefully there is a big emphasis on the '+'
ReplyDeleteIf you can't tell, I'm well excited :)
Yeah!
ReplyDeleteI hope to visit Mexico again.
We need another Mexican Cure show
Where it's written this message?
ReplyDeleteSeems to be erased!
No, it's still there. It's posted in the comments on that story.
ReplyDeleteWEEEE I'm so happy for South America! You guys really deserve a good tour...
ReplyDeleteMassive shame that this is the only show they're doing over here but at least for me it's local...
Think this means I have to go...
It sounds like The Cure machine is starting up again, this is usually the process; a few random shows before a bigger tour the next year.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Bestival, and some SA shows are it for 2011.
120 mins? Not worth it to go to Euro for me. Probably will be a 'greatest hits' setlist with a few of the more popular album tracks.
I will wait until 2012 when I expect a real Cure tour, with the 3 hour shows.
I love the coffin door opening slightly ... "creeeeeak..." ... Very funny!!!
ReplyDeleteBestival is my favourite! YAY! I might just dress up as Robert Smith :D
ReplyDeleteYeep Yeep
ReplyDeleteSo the $64k question is ....
ReplyDeleteWhat is The Cure's lineup for the show???
A 3 piece unit again?
Is Porl back for the show?
Questions .....
"THIS IS THE ONLY CURE PERFORMANCE OF ANY DESCRIPTION BOOKED FOR 2011" Well isn't that just dandy. So, no more concerts and no music on the horizon. Why doe they only put a new album out every 5 years?
ReplyDeleterobas.... i agree with you, the mexico 07 shows were so good, but isnt mexico still considered north america??
ReplyDeleteugh i need the cure back in my liiife.
ReplyDeleteThe Cure and Madonna are CONFIRMED headliners for Chilepalooza.
ReplyDeleteThe only US show that might be in the works for 2011 is Voodoo that I know of.
Also, on a side note: on the website last month for Lolla in Chile, if you clicked on More Info there were four pictures: Robert Smith, Madonna, Chris Cornell and Zack De La Rocha.
@C how do you know that they're "confirmed"? robert just said that as of now, bestival is the only show officially happening ("the only cure performance of any description booked for 2011"). also that picture has changed to snoop dogg. but of course it's very likely, especially given this new hint at a latin american show.
ReplyDeleteAnd now there's this:
ReplyDeleteTO BE EVEN CLEARER
I HOPED MY BESTIVAL COMMENT WAS CLEAR ENOUGH..."AS OF DECEMBER 3RD 2010, THIS IS THE ONLY CURE PERFORMANCE OF ANY DESCRIPTION BOOKED FOR 2011". BUT TO BE EVEN CLEARER...WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING ROCK IN RIO. WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING LOLLAPALOOZA CHILE. WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING A LONDON SHOW IN THE SPRING... ETC ETC... IF THERE ARE TO BE ANY OTHER CURE LIVE PERFORMANCES IN 2011, THEY WILL BE ANNOUNCED HERE FIRST... ANYTHING ELSE ANYWHERE ELSE IS AS EVER MERE SPECULATION! TO GO...RSX
yeah Joseph, I just saw his latest comment too...well,all the more reason to go to Bestival!
ReplyDeletehmmm! the joy of seeing the cure and some other shit hot bands vs.camping with smelly people and potentially shitting in a bucket/field? in the rain?..
ReplyDeletemust stock up on wipes i think.
