Heartland

Only in Australia though so far

Lol is only doing the Faith set, but this was one reunion I did not expect to see. Roger O'Donnell is also back, which is a good thing to these ears. I'm slightly surprised by this as well, the last interview I saw with him (admittedly some time ago) he was still less than impressed by the reshaping of the band to a three piece (speaking of which, where is Porl Thompson for these shows!?)

That's one tasty looking event, even if you take the Cure out of the equation!

cool, i like the cure's first 3 albums but play it closer to me

Ha! My post broke the news that Lol is back

in the mood of the cure, they should play that first 3 albums as first, second and third encore

Looking good, indeed! Wish they also do something like that a little bit closer to home...

It was a belter

& all with original instruments too.

Not a Schecter in sight.

Well if you consider how many records the Cure have released, they have another 10 years going if they consider to play them all in their entirety.

Still to my ears, anything they released after "wish" with the exception of a few songs, just sounds crap.

THE CURE “REFLECTIONS� - SEVEN FINAL PERFORMANCES

Featuring THREE IMAGINARY BOYS (1979), SEVENTEEN SECONDS (1980) and FAITH (1981) played in their entirety.

Due to overwhelming demand The Cure “REFLECTIONS� show - first experienced in the spring of 2011 at the Vivid Festival in Sydney - will be performed seven more times in November 2011.


"REFLECTIONS" sees an evolving line up of band members past and present playing the first three Cure albums live in their entirety - from the punchy, offbeat, starkly unadorned songs of Three Imaginary Boys (1979), through the increasingly shadowy and quixotic pieces of Seventeen Seconds (1980), to the singular melancholic grandeur of Faith (1981) - in a truly extraordinary concert experience.


This final chance to experience the "REFLECTIONS" show will happen in Europe at the Royal Albert Hall, London on Tuesday November 15th, and in the USA at the Pantages Theatre, LA on Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd, and at the Beacon Theatre, NYC on Friday 25th, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th.


Tickets for the Royal Albert Hall, London show go on-sale Friday 30th September 2011 at 9am local time and are available from the 24 hour ticket hotline:

www.bookingsdirect.com / 0844 338 0000. Four tickets per person maximum.


Tickets for the Pantages Theatre, LA and Beacon Theatre, NYC shows will go on-sale Monday 31st October at 10am local time and are available online at Ticketmaster.com and at all Ticketmaster outlets. To charge tickets by phone, call (800) 745-3000. Any tickets not purchased directly through Ticketmaster or at the venue box offices may not be official tickets and run the risk of not being honoured night of show. Two tickets per person maximum.
