Among other bands, The Cure would play in the Werchter Festival, this year.

Nothing confirmed yet, but it would be worth to keep an eye here

That would be cool because I plan on going over to Europe this summer and could stop there for this. :smth023

Well, I'm always skeptical about these sorts of announcements. But this time it just might make sense.

Ever since 1990, they've played the festival every 4-5 years (1990, 1995, 2000, 2004).

So...  ;)

Trust...

Yes you're right, it makes sense ... 5 years later ... dream , dream, dream, ... I'm gonna be crazy in both cases on a different way  :-D

I don't believe it.  Unless they were given a very large sum of money I just don't see this rumor coming true.  It just doesn't seem likely to me that they'll play one festival and I don't see them doing several.  They're on a break after a busy 2008.  Of course it's possible and I hope it's true.

Robert has said that the 4tour isn't over.  It's possible that he was only referring to the December shows, but it makes more sense to think that more dates will be announced this year.

Anyway, 2009 is supossed to be the 30th anniversary of 3IB. Come on, they have to do adittional shows this year... plus they have to promote 4:13 not? :roll:

Sure, they could play Werchter.  I'm not saying they won't.  Just that I don't see it happening.  They played damn near 70 shows between 2007-2008 and are in need of some time off.  There is a gig and some projects on the horizon (NME, 30th Anniversary DVD, next batch of remasters).  And in 2010 I believe we'll get the "dark" addition to 4:13 Dream followed by a world tour.  I do hope they do play a festival this summer.  Hopefully more.  The new songs need to be heard live! I'm just not ready to believe the rumor...yet.

Hm, sometimes, after a long tour The Cure did play some summer festivals the following year. It's possible, let's wait and see.
I myself would love to see the band after the album release and hear some of the 4:13 stuff.

I don't know if they'll play this festival or not, but they did a bunch of festival dates in 2005 after completing a pretty big tour the previous year.  With this being the 30th anniversary, I expect some shows of some kind to be played.

Trust...

First names are public ... The Killers , Placebo , Coldplay and Metallica, ... :-( Still hoping :-)

I hope we get this week the news: it's complete or the cure comes, I can't stand this anymore, this unknowing ... :(
