    The Cure have a live stream on now from the the Sydney Opera House as it's 30 years to the day that Disintegration was released.

    It's on You Tube.

    Proper buzzing for this now, sandwiched in between the CL final and Download the next weekend!

    Hopefully the weather is dry, and we're in a part of the crowd that feels like dancing as much as we do.

    Not worried about getting the classics. They always happen. Would love Burn and Hanging Gardens Robert, ta!

    Aye, great sounding!

    I appreciate Simon Gallup's refusal to age.

    Thought I didn't really know anything about The Cure. Was thinking of picking up a ticket for this next week. I set up playlist on spotify to coincide with setlists. Couldn't believe all the tunes that I knew. Then I remembered that I had bought a type of best of album about 20 years. Didn't think I had listened to it much but obviously time fades the memory. It was a singles album - standing on a beach.
    Other than the 15 or songs on that album, I've come in to some great music in the past week. Burn, Lovesong, Lullaby. Plainsong is a brilliant gig opener. And my favourite - Pictures of you is just beautiful.
    Can't wait.

    do yourself a favour and listen to Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me,
    A brilliant diverse album with so many class songs

    Also "the Cure in Orange" is a classic live video
    its on youtube in parts (the 1987 version)

    cheers

    And then dive into the earlier stuff - start with Faith ("Primary" would've been on that best of) then go Seventeen Seconds (feat "A Forest") and finally Pornography. It was after this they took a turn into more poppy material.

    Not queing at all, to be honest. The nature of the gig would indicate a day out in the park with a lot of crowd movement between acts. That and the fact that I've been to too many big gigs in Ireland recently where for Cure's main age demographic you've just got prudes with their phones up front. I'd rather hang back a bit and find a spot where's people are actually singing and enjoying themselves .

    Met Eireann radar and AccuWeather have both improved considerably since yesterday, for what it's worth. Bit of drizzle around opening time, but should hopefully be long gone before Smith's hair pops up on stage.

    Just got them switched to an e-ticket. Wasn't any hassle.

    Re: the weather. Looks like it'll be raining up to the gig so the field will probably be very mucky. Wellies or a good pair of Docs are in order I would say!

    Weather has now changed to "fair" by met.ie, so hopefully it wont be too bad.


    I'd like to bring my own water and food for the day rather than eat junk on the day. Is there any restriction on bringing your own lunch etc ?

    Only realised this week the Twilight Sad were supporting. Didn't follow as I don''t have a ticket. I'd highly recommend anyone going to make sure they see them. They should be way bigger than they are.
