There will be an excluse broadcast of the festival on Directv in South America. While most of us won't be able to watch it live, safe bet someone will record it and have it up on YouTube tomorrow. At least until Directtv has it removed.
Matt has a few more of his AP Cure North American tour (all 6 colorways) and NYC (both editions of each) posters available again.
From Todd Slater:
Just added the blue version of my Cure print to site. This was the version sold on band's website after show. I was kinda going for a violet Starry Night with this palette.

Más que felices de haber abierto el show de @thecure en Lima. Y un honor también haber conocido y conversado con el mismísimo @RobertSmith acerca de cómo influenció su banda en nosotros. Muchas gracias @MoveConcertsPE 🙌🇵🇪
From Adam Lopardo:
"am at @johnrobb77 talk about The Art of Darkness. Said he was at Rockfield Studios 2 weeks ago and asked staff about @thecure album. Apparently It’s finished but @RobertSmith keeps tinkering cos he’s a control freak. They said it sounds amazing. One day we’ll hear it!"
Have heard that from other people too. And that this isn't a new development. "Done", but Robert won't let it go. Reeves mentioned it too in a recent interview.

Update: Well, that channel that streamed Friday without region blocking did not stream Saturday, and we'll have to wait and see if they broadcast today.
The official YouTube and Twitch channels listed in the graphic below are livestreaming parts of the festival, but it's region locked and many of you will need a VPN if you want to watch. But there's no guarantee of them showing The Cure's set as of now.
Will post more later as info becomes available.
Looks like they'll have an official livestream on YouTube and Twitch.
Schedule is out for São Paulo. Cure will have 2 hours and 30 minutes. 8:25 pm - 10:55pm on Dec. 3rd.

"This week I was supposed to get on a plane with the lads to Mexico but sadly due to a serious health issue Im forced to stay in London for the next few months for treatment. Im going to be fine, I have the best Dr who is a rock star, carers, friends and family around me.
Im just very sorry not to see and play for the amazing people of Mexico and South America over the next few weeks but I will be there in spirit and more… Love Roger"
Oh no! Please get well soon,Roger! I'm sure Mike will do a good job, but y'all know how I feel about this, there's only one Cure keyboardist to me.

From NME:
Johnny Marr: “Bangers? They’re not to be sniffed at”
As he releases his first ever solo Best Of compilation, the icon speaks to NME about finding his own voice, what Billie Eilish has in common with The Cure and the stars that haunt his guitars.
We once spoke of your admiration for The Cure’s Robert Smith too. Would you put him in that category too?
“So much of The Cure stuff that appears to be dark is very beautiful. ‘Disintegration’ is an amazing record. But I saw them as a kid when ‘Seventeen Seconds’ [1980] came out. I just thought it was beautiful and modern. It’s funny, Billie is definitely coming from a similar sensibility but I think it has a similar vibe to it, in a way. A modern version. I can imagine being really into her records when I was 16 or 17.”
