The first date of the Cure tour is the final day of Coachella 2008. Which will be announced in late December.
They will be headliners with the Verve, Radiohead, Foo Fighters, Portishead, MBV and maybe Blur?
That's my prediction...ahem...inside source.

Oh....yeah and Dave Gahan.

Radiohead and The Cure both headlined Coachella 2004..Doubt they would have them both back so soon..

Three years is not so soon. When you look at the past line ups repeat headliners would come back every three or four years.

Great, I probably won't be able to make the show now.

I will not be in the USA when the Cure play their rescheduled date! :(

The Cure will play Coachella next year. Radiohead have committed verbally...all depends on record label situation...want to time with release of new record. Gahan is in as he will open small solo tour in LA...come back east and then perform Coachella. The Verve is signed to play...Blur is mulling the offer...but not looking good.
Also, No Doubt will play as will Underworld, Portishead and Chemical Brothers.

Why do I feel like I stumbled across a blog posting from 1996?

why don't you go stick your arcade fire record up your ass, Jess guy
Posted by punkfreud | September 14, 2007 3:00 PM
hahaha I couldn't stop thinking of a Neon Bible going up your ass, Jess Guy.
Anyways, I am excited of possible regular tours with those bands. I mean, I hope they don't play Coachella only.
And what's up with The Cure until June 2008? Robert Smith might die earlier.

Craig where the heck are you getting this info from? First off The Cure playing Coachella is an improbability since they are set to play LA a month after the festival which pretty much goes against what is written into every contract of the headliner or so they say.

sad that i missed the cure in chicago since i figured they'd tour after the new CD came out. sorry guys. hope you do another date in the midwest to support the cd. love you.
