[kj] OT: The Cure

[Janean Lancaster]

I'd prefer a long show in a stadium to a short set in a small venue.  As
long as I get a good view, of course.  Reminds me of the old days...

No info on chainofflowers.com about it either, although the webmaster of
that is on holiday.

 

It is happening though
http://www.gigwise.com/news/37316/the-cure-to-play-wembley-arena

 

I honestly think it would be better for them to play small venues, lets
face it they have only been doing one UK date since Bloodflowers, some
people aren't even aware that the band still exist, better promotion.
There again, at their age putting in 3 hour shows is impressive, which
is better, stadium arenas for 3 hours or smaller venues with sets of 2
maximum? Better atmosphere vs Long shows....hmmm.

	Who knows.  If it wasn't for this list I wouldn't have known
anything about it - and I'm signed up for Ticketline, Ticketmaster and
See tickets emails!

	 

	Couldn't find mention of it on thecure.com either.  But then,
it's not the best band site in the world...

	 

	Yeah, they should just play smaller venues - they certainly
don't have the fanbase they had on the Prayer Tour.  I think this is why
they are playing only one gig in London - they certainly wouldn't fill
the MEN these days. 

	 

	Yeah, I'm still gonna go.  And pay a small fortune for
hotel/travel.   Managed to rope a mate in (sorry Flightbringer).  And
hope there's no ticket fiasco when it comes to booking...

	 

	Cheers,

	Janean

	Does anyone know if there is to be a pre-sale on The Cure tix?

	 

	I still cant believe that they are playing Wembley cack Arena
*again*, its about time they stopped these awful stadium gigs and played
smaller venues, as much as I love The Cure, they dont have the fanbase
that they used to....The Prayer Tour was amazing, but that was 18 years
ago!  

	 

	One UK date just doesnt cut it, too lazy, they need to tour
properly at smaller venues.

	 

	Enough complaining...still gonna go.....

		Remebered that somebody had mention wishing the Cure
would play on home soil.

		They play Wembley Arena on 20th March.
