It will be difficult (maybe) for me on the day before, as I live an hour away from Stuttgart, but as it is a Saturday, it could be possible.
If not, then on Sunday for a coffee or any other drink(s) in Stuttgart or Bad Cannstatt (part of Stuttgart, where the "Schleyerhalle" is placed). If there'll be a few fans interested, I might look out for a location, or we just meet and go somewhere near.

there will be for sure interest of several fans, so let me know what place could be suitable for the fan meet-up and I will create the event. Usually, in other cities we do this either during lunch time (around 13h00) or a few hours before the gig  :smth020

Yeah, seeing on my ticket it says 18h30 for the gig (and I do want to see Twilight Sad), it will only be a few hours between 13h00 and 17h30 (or something like that)!  :o
I'll be looking out for a suitable place; I had been thinking about this one, but it's only open from 18h00 onwards.  :(

(But we could still meet there, if there's a few people who arrive on Saturday, like "disintegration".)

yeH remmuS, welcome to the forum!

Oh well, I'm still "looking for" a suitable place... must ask a friend who lives in Bad Cannstatt (part of Stuttgart, where the Schleyer-Halle is).

Update: via Google maps I found a place within walking distance from Schleyer-Halle, about 15 minutes walk says the website, it's very close to the train station Bad Cannstatt (actually it is in the same building):

But I will be looking out for other suitable ones, so we can choose the best.  :)

Thank you, dsanchez! I changed the times (for it to last until Nov 11th, seemed a bit long to me).

I think we will stick with the above mentioned place (which offers local food, local beers... and is easy to find), unless another perfect location springs to mind.

Well, we only have a few guests being "interested" so far on the Facebook event. I will need more people confirming that they will come (here or on FB), otherwise I will not sit around in the restaurant on that day waiting for anyone to turn up...

It will be no problem if you don't want to eat lunch there - I think you can just have a drink. Also the time is not fixed yet, you can easily join us later.

I don't know yet if I'll come to Stuttgart on Saturday too, but I'll let you know if I do (pm).
Thanks for posting setlists, I try to avoid reading them now, so I'll have more surprises in Stuttgart...

disintegration and Lady will probably start queuing from early morning, so don't expect them for the fan meeting :) but let us know the starting time and I will promote it on FB and Twitter as well.

I see, so they'll be busy.
We will probably start at 3pm (15 Uhr) and eat/drink until about 5.30 (17.30)! Then we can all walk (or take the tram) to the venue, as it's supposed to begin 18.30 already (or maybe I got that wrong: is that "doors opening time"? if that, we'll have more time)!

Just found out there'll be an "aftershow" party at the club "Zollamt" (as far as I know it's not too far from the venue). I probably can't attend, as I'll have to catch a train after the concert.

So who'll be coming to the fan meeting at "Cannstatter Tor" on Sunday??
This restaurant/pub is placed next to the train station in Bad Cannstatt (i.e. not the main train station in Stuttgart), it is in the same building, thus should be easy to find!
We're supposed to meet from 3pm (15:00) until about 5-6pm (depending on who'll want to leave early because of standing ticket).
Good news is I can drink beer (or whatever I wish) as I can take a train back to my room a bit outside of Stuttgart, where I'll be staying for the night!  :-D

Tickets are valid for a ride with publich transport to the venue (3 hours before it starts) and afterwards until service ends. (Look at the writing on your ticket for confirmation.)

Looks like the "beginning" is set for 18.30 already! Which would mean "doors open" about 1 hour before!

Any questions about the fan meeting or concert? I'll be available here until Sunday morning 10am. After this, I will travel and focus on the meeting and Cure show. Looking forward!!!  :)

It was a pleasure to meet some fans at our little meeting! Really nice people.

The gig was great, as you can see the setlist was brilliant (so much from "Disintegration" and "HOTD")! I loved it. Bigger review and photos to follow!

When I arrived at the "Cannstatter Tor", I looked for a suitable table (the place was almost empty at this time), ordered a coffee and waited for any arrivals. Around 3.10pm I got a bit nervous, but then someone with a Cure t-shirt walked in, asked a waiter (who knew nothing), then I waved him. He introduced himself as Marc, Cure fan from Germany (dsanchez had sent him on his way). We chatted nicely, then Summer & friend (from USA) arrived a bit later. We had a few beers and talked about our Cure experiences, setlists and so on. Marc left earlier, the rest of us then walked over to the Schleyerhalle (circa 18 mins walk), we were happy it didn't rain. At the back of the hall we tried to see someone from the band, but no such luck. As it got cold, we went inside. We bought beer, then we sadly had to part ways, as the others all had seats and I had a standing ticket. Well I was going to look for an old friend anyway, who I wanted to meet at the mixing desk. This didn't work out (but I met him afterwards), instead I found another old acquaintance near the mixing desk by accident...
The Twilight Sad were pretty good, I thought. Quite sad actually, but it fit my mood somehow.
Then finally The Cure were about to start. Marc had hoped for a "Disintegration" kinda setlist - and he got it! As for me, I was very happy to hear the opening chimes of "Plainsong" as well! Then "Pictures of you" and "Closedown" ("wouldn't it be cool if they played the whole album?", I thought, but they didn't...)! At times I had tears in my eyes... I was pleased that they followed these with 2 songs from "The Head On The Door", especially "A Night Like This" was one of the highlights for me, others were "Last Dance", "Want", "Primary", "Prayers For Rain", "Disintegration", "Burn" & "A Forest". I also enjoyed the "pop encore", but not as much as the "Disintegration" highlights! It was good to hear the new song "It Can Never Be The Same" live for the first time.
(Sometimes I would just close my eyes and listen to the music... forgetting about stage show and other people around me... when I opened my eyes, I saw Robert being busy with his guitar, as I did see many times before...) The lightshow was well thought out and fit the songs in my opinion.

Later in the show, Robert apologized for his voice, but there was no need to, as what I'd heard was fine! Simon was moving/dancing round the stage in his typical fashion, Roger & Reeves did their jobs well. I thought Jason's drumming was good enough on most of the songs, it was only very few during which I felt he sounded maybe a bit too "mechanical/cold" (for lack of better words).

All in all, this was another great Cure concert for me. At the end, Robert said "see you again", so I hope to see them again someday! :)

Hey, you mention the tears and it happened to me as well. The Cure's music touch us in ways we only know.  For me, it was during "Pictures of you", that song brought me so many memories, moments, very special people, faces, smiles that are stuck in my mind... and will always be. I am sure if The Cure would play in 2026 we would still feel the same again.

PS. Glad you met the other fans. Summer is a Jason fan and run a FB group about him and Marc is doing all the German dates. I met him both in Hamburg and Berlin and had long l, good discussions.

BTW, I still have the draft of my reviews and I promise to start publishing them this week! So many things I had to do when I came back to work :/

Indeed this music touches deep inside and often brings back memories...

Yeah, I think he was glad to finally hear a "Disintegration" set!
And yes, Summer mentioned being a Jason fan a few times, ha ha! She even received a signed cymbal from him once.
It was lovely to meet them all. Glad I didn't have much work today (postponed it to tomorrow), so I was able to look back at this gig.
Looking forward to your reviews!
Oh and I'm sorry I wasn't able to meet forum member disintegration & company on Saturday, but it would've been too much. :( Hope you enjoyed the show as much as I did!

Erm, the video of "Last Dance" I shared above is from the same source! This person has uploaded more videos from Stuttgart (and other shows), most of them pretty good.
Also there were other videos from other people, but I could not share them all here. (Same goes for other shows, I didn't have the time to look four out for the good yt vids, although I at least tried for Frankfurt & Leipzig...)

This one I enjoyed, because unlike other vids it lets you see the whole stage incl. screens, which is how I experienced it at the concert:
