Curiosa

We caught the Cure at the world's largest amphitheatre. there was a second stage somewhere for the 2nd rate bands. But the two stages did not play at the same time. huge ass grass lawn for the 45,000 that did not get seats. We actually hung out in the parking area and drank beer until thye mainliners began.

I will be heading to Chicago on August 12 with my wife to catch this show. Interpol and Mogwai are worth seeing, too, as Mogwai reminds me of Sonic Youth.

Tickets are not on sale yet for the Chicago show, Tweeter Center Tinley park, Il. Damn, tomorrow is pay day.....

Hopefully I'll see them in Seattle on Aug. 21st. I'm not missing them on this tour!

chicago tix go on sale june 12th. the only problem with that is, its the same day and time the detroit tickets go on sale. i plan on going to 4 of the shows. the rumor is that the cure will be doing another north american tour by themselves :) hopes its true. and i think the chainofflowers.com site mentioned that afi and some other special guests have pulled out, dont know if that means no second stage at all now, but thecure.com mentioned there will be two stages and an explanation as to why they are doing curiosa.

If that's the case, with them doing a full tour, then I might be able to catch them in Boston, Camden, or NYC.

How much do you think they'll charge for tickets?

If it's anythin like the other ticket prices, lots. And fuck this assigned seating shit.

Inland Invasion III, The Cure's inspiration for Curiosa, tockets were $50, margaritas $15.

i think they are different for each city.

chicago tickets i think are 70 for gold cirlce 55 for pit 45 for pavillion and lawn were cheaper. not sure of the exact prices though.

Karma, you going to catch the Chicago gig?

hell yeah :) if i get shit seats im going through a damn broker :( how far from iowa is chicago? isnt it something like 5 or 6 hours?

Depends on how fast I drive. 4 to 5 hours legally although my car was built to do twice the speed limit for hours and hours.

I see that this show is playing in Michigan the day before. I wonder how far from Chicago the 8/11 show is.

twist, chicago fucking went on sale already! the damn pre-sale was supposed to be tomorow. please check chainofflowers.com for all the updates with the pre-sale stuff. and i would reccomend trying to search for better tickets when the regular sale begins as they usually dont sell only the good seats during the pre-sale, but a limited number of them.

oh, www.wxrt.com to register, or chainofflowers.com with direct links.

I have not decided where I want to sit, close or the lawn. Could be a long night to be in one spot but the seating has a roof which will block the August sun.

Are cameras accepted or do I need to strap it to my privates like last time?

Wifey got lawn tickets. This gives us a little more freedom of movement and the better opportunties to smoke grass.

Yes, Spotnick, its worth it. First, you do not know if they are touring solo. Second, they are at the top of their game. Third, Interpol and Mogwai.

BTW, it says the show starts at 5 pm, seems late for the amount of bands that are playing.

two stages

main stage is mogwai, interpol, rapture, and the cure. so hopefully the cure can get on by 8pm and go till 11pm :) but its during the week and illinois curfew laws i think are 1030 for all ages shows.

Curfew laws are an example of big liberal government and/or Christian Socialism and/or "we got a lot of rich property owners around here that want the bastards inside by midnight."

Bullshit nonetheless.

I could tell you a funny story about fuckwit cops and curfew laws, but anyway...I'm hoping to see The Cure at their show at the Gorge in August, but goddammit I don't want to drive out into the middle of the fucking desert to do it! I'd do it for New Order (as I should've last time they came), and I did it for Depeche, but maybe I'll bite the bullet and shell out the money. I don't know. I suppose I can wing it somehow and sleep in my car.
