Robert remixes Ride's 'Vapour Trail'
From Pitchfork: "On November 6, Ride will release a 25th anniversary edition of their debut album, Nowhere. Above, listen to a remix of "Vapour Trail" by The Cure's Robert Smith, done to promote the reissue. (It will not appear on the release.)"
Articles about this: CoS, KCRW, Brooklyn Vegan, Exclaim, Vanyaland
Update: Will be released digitally on Friday, Oct. 9th.
iTunes US / Amazon US - UK / Spotify
Here's the announcement from Ride's Tomorrow Never Knows email:
Robert Smith remixes 'Vapour Trail'
We've been trying our best to keep tight-lipped about this until today, but we're very happy to have premiered this evening a remix of 'Vapour Trail' by none other than Robert Smith simultaneously on Steve Lamacq's BBC 6music show in the UK, Jason Bentley's Morning Becomes Eclectic show on KCRW in Los Angeles, and online through Pitchfork.
Robert has spoken many kind words about us over the years and about 'Vapour Trail' in particular; so you can imagine how thrilled we were when he said yes to remixing the track. We're so pleased with the result that we're rush-releasing it digitally this Friday (9th October) - more news on this later on in the week.
If you missed the premiere then listen here on Soundcloud. (Thanks Benj/fatpie1664)
Update (10/07/15): And here's a new 7+ minute extended remix. (Thanks Benj/fatpie1664)

2nd Hollywood Bowl show added on May 23rd
From the official site:
"DUE TO AN OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR TICKETS, THE CURE HAS ADDED A SECOND NIGHT AT THE HOLLYWOOD BOWL LOS ANGELES MONDAY 23RD MAY 2016
PRESALE WILL TAKE PLACE THURSDAY 8TH OCTOBER AT 10AM PST
http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/0B004F46E1E4393E
PRESALE PASSWORD: CUREBOWL
THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC ONSALE OF ANY UNSOLD TICKETS FOR BOTH SHOWS (SUNDAY 22ND AND MONDAY 23RD) ON FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER AT 10AM PST
...THANKS!"
So judging by this post, today's presale WASN'T just a limited allocation of seats? It was all seats up for sale? If so, then what you see left for the 22nd is all that will be available. No point waiting for the general sale on Friday, better get something now. That is not confirmed, and sort of goes against what everyone usually does with presales, but it certainly sounds like every seat was available today. Keep that in mind with all of the presales tomorrow.
Also, does the 2nd LA show count as one of the 25 dates, or will it now be a (at least) 26 date tour? Have to imagine NYC will get a 2nd show, too. Maybe Chicago too, if it sells out?

Hollywood Bowl presale today
Presale tickets for The Cure at The Hollywood Bowl on May 22nd, 2016 will go on sale at 10 am Pacific time this morning. Good luck to everyone trying for them today!
Ticketmaster presale link
There are at least 3 presale codes (all 3 have been tested & work):
CUREBOWL
JACKCURE
KROQcure
A few tips about presales:
1. STAY CALM! I know you're excited and nervous, but getting all flustered when you are trying to get tickets does you no good. No matter what happens today, you WILL have other oppertunities to score tickets to the show. Relax and focus on your mission. :)
2. Make sure you have an account at Ticketmaster and are signed in already. Don't waste time doing that while the sale is active.
3. Once you've secured tickets, remember that you do have a few minutes to check out. No need to rush, the tickets will be held in your cart while you go through the various screens. Just keep an eye on your countdown clock, check out before it hits 0:00, and you'll get your tickets.
4.The presale will most likely sell out very fast. Don't worry if it does, because the show itself isn't sold out, just the limited amount of tickets allocated for the presale. If there are 10,000 tickets for sale, sometimes only 1,000 or even less will be allocated to the presale. The rest of the tickets will be available during the general sale, which in this case will be Friday morning at 10 am.
Have to strike this one. Robert's latest post seems to indicate that ALL seats were available today, not just a small percentage. It that's accurate, whatever you see left right now, is all that will be offered on Friday.
5. Possibly the most important thing I can tell you is to never stop trying to get tickets. If TM tells you no more tickets are available, ignore it, and keep trying! I can't tell you how many times I've scored great seats 30 or even 60 minutes after the site says it's sold out. Because of the cart holding system, and people deciding not to purchase, or to try for better seats, tickets can get put back into to the system at any time. Just keep trying until you either get bored, or have to leave and do something.
6. Do not waste time whining and moaning on Facebook, Twitter, or other sites, about how much TM sucks, how slow the site is, that ticket brokers are the living embodiment of evil, etc, while the sale is active. You are wasting value time that you could be using to try to get tickets. Plenty of time to complain AFTER the sale is over or sold out.
