North American Fall 2007 Cure shows re-scheduled for Spring

8/24/2007 5:58:28 AM - by CURE:ROBERT

With all apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment it may cause, we have made a decision to move the September/October 2007 North American Cure shows to April/May 2008.

The schedule as it stands only gives us a couple of weeks to finish our new double album before we hit the road again, and we know this just isn’t enough time to complete the project to our total satisfaction.

Although this last month’s tour of Australasia showed that a great Cure show is not dependent on a new Cure album, it has to be remembered that we hadn’t played Australia for 7 years, New Zealand for 15 years, Japan for 23 years(!), and Singapore or Hong Kong ever before – so the absence of ‘new’ songs in the set was not really much of an issue.

However, we want to remodel/rework the live show for North America, change things around, incorporate new songs… and we need time and focus to do this.

<br>[quote]What a surprise...Vegas gets assed out again!![:(!]. I don't know why they don't come here more to play? the Bloodflowers stop they made here a few years back? sold out in like 10 minutes. LOts of great clubs here for them to play.
[/quote]

maybe 'clubs' is the reason? Robert again in those massive icehockey arenas + not sure if they sell out a 10.000+ place in vegas - seeing those arenas listed, I am pretty sure there will be lots of room for everyone to move around...

Well, they could play "The Joint" @ the Hard Rock, as they did for the Bloodflowers tour stop, that only holds about 2,000 people.

Or maybe the Pearl @ the Palms?

Aladdin Theater
Orleans Arena


(all of these are smaller venues, which they'd pack)

Maybe the Star of the Desert Arean in Primm? you dont think the Cure could fill a 10,000+ seat arena today?

By the looks of the crowd @ the 2003 Inland Invasion, when the Cure headlined, looks as if they could pack just about any place.

Trust me when I tell you, Vegas gets assed out of ALOT of good shows/bands, especially 80's type bands.

So who is even in the band these days? Robert Smith and his grandkids?

<br>I [b]would[/b] want to go except most of the people there will probably be little junior-high aged kids experimenting with black make up and rosaries for fashion, bumping into you as they sing the wrong mumblings in hoarse creaky voices..I'd really rather not be around such things. In fact I would much rather die. Kind of sad anyway, because they are most likely just trying for money or to support old habits. I hope they honestly just feel like playing..but I remember reading old (was it late 80's or early 90's??) interviews where Robert had even said then he was sick of touring and sick of touring america..probably from a combination of it's hugeness and the fact that people here are dumb..So did he suddenly change his mind? Anyway my point is that it'd drag to see them not only because the other idiots attending the concert, but because I'd feel partially to blame for his unhappiness.

Imagine how unhappy Robert would feel if the [i]only[i] people to attend were the ones like you described!

bummer about the postponement. However, this frees up my September 21st to go see Damien Dempsey, which I was upset about missing. See how things work out!
