"I heard listening to the cure causes autism"
-anti Vaxxer goth mom who refuses to listen to the cure.
This HAS to be satire...
Either way, it's hilarious.

You know what he's like just prior to the Hyde Park gig I was annoyed because I was sure that all the deep cuts were at curaetion a few weeks earlier. And to some extent that's exactly what happened although it was still an incredible gig.
the bbc is broadcasting the cure set tonight. earlier they are showing kylie minogue. there is a double bill for the ages!
I'm not sure if those two songs in particular were played at many festivals (though it's likely)? I do have to kind of agree with him though; when they did new material back at Coachella 2004 it was almost like the aural equivalent of a wet blanket. And I really fucking love The Promise. I don't think it was the right crowd.

the bbc feed was blocked outside of england. bummer.
I'm going to be obtaining my copy today and if anyone needs assistance fire me a PM and I'll see what I can do.
The mixing was EXCELLENT. The bits I heard last night were fantastic.
Of course Just One Kiss wasn’t played!
Shocking how horrible the Glastonbury setlist was. Robert really catering to the casual fan/festival crowd on this run......
I think some people are "Halo or GTFO"; but I take what I can get. And what we got included a couple of odd festival choices: Burn, Fascination Street, Last Dance, all fantastic; as well as songs that are festival/best-of setlist material at the same time as being excellent songs I love and love to see performed.
Interesting that they didn't finish on Killing an Arab
They played Burn which would have been worth the price of admission to me. I’ve never seen The Cure
They've done some rarer stuff like Wendy Time and Just One Kiss at other festivals on this tour; guess they got a half hour less time at Glastonbury so they had to make some cuts somewhere.
Its a casual fan/greatest hits pop friendly festival setlist. No deep cuts. No dark songs with the exception of a couple. 0 songs from Pornography. 0 songs from Bloodflowers. 0 songs from Faith. 1 song from Three Imaginary Boys. Its catered to The Cure fans who think 'Friday, I'm In Love' is a masterpiece. Most hardcore fans will agree its a shit setlist (specifically The Cure fans who prefer the darker songs/deeper cuts....like me...this is where the fanbase splits. Half the fanbase wants the dark stuff and half wants 'Friday I'm In Love' type songs). The set they played 2 days earlier at Werchter was much better and included (Just One Kiss, 39, Primary, Want, One Hundred Years) but Robert dropped all 5 from Glastonbury (all 5 being deep/dark cuts)
lol smh...
Agreed. I'm a diehard Cure fan for life and any Cure set is worth the price of admission, even if it's (and we all know this is a bullshit stance) 'catered' a certain way. I'd love to see deep cuts...my wife would prefer more of the hits to just enjoy the show and dance. Does that make her any less of a fan? Nah. It's the internet and of course this is words on a screen that mean nothing...but 1000% fuck people that think any different haha. Fuck them and their misery forever!
Dumb stats:
Of their 4 Glastonbury appearances, this year was somehow the first time Lovesong was performed, along with Burn, The Caterpillar, Last Dance, and Plainsong.
1994's "Burn" was the most recent song played this year; their last time playing in 1995 had a few songs from the then-unreleased Wild Mood Swings even.
47 different Cure songs have now been performed at Glastonbury, roughly half of which were played this year. 24 songs have only been played once.

He goes through moods. Sometimes he wants to be confrontational with the crowds and sometimes he wants to appease them. Thats Robert Smith being Robert Smith lol......I was looking at the summer 2002 festival setlists and it was 95% darker songs so obv that festival run he was in a much more confrontational mood
Sample setlist from that tour

Back here in 2007 we got The Big Hand, Catch, How Beautiful You Are, The Figurehead, and (at a secret show) Signal To Noise and Maybe Someday.
I randomly checked what is currently playing at (in?) cinema here (was thinking about "Yesterday" movie), and few minutes later I had tickets for THE CURE! I had no idea it will be shown in (at?) cinemas, and the last time I saw something similar was David Gilmour and it was great. Looking forward to (for?) 7/17, yeah!
Orig. názov: THE CURE: ANNIVERSARY 1978-2018 LIVE IN HYDE PARK
Krajina: Spojené kráľovstvo
Réžia: Tim Pope
I’ve always felt “The Dream” from Japanese Whispers doesn’t ever get much attention. Never been done live either.
Awesome broadcast. Robert sings FTEOTDGS extra passionately. Changing the lyrics in 39 from “half my life I’ve been here, half my life in flames...” to “two-thirds my life I’ve been here...” is extremely poignant.
