Just wonder if that is even possible - start touring without releasing at least a single. Will they really show up in Stockholm on Saturday?
Prague - 3.8. 1990
Brno - 23.8. 1998
Prague - 12.4. 2000
Prague - 21.2. 2008

Well, they played Australasia and Mexico last year and they were successful shows so i can't see why the can't play Europe without the album.
Even if the album was out, i doubt they'd play much off it.

I'm sure they will turn up on Saturday, if they were going to cancel they would have let fans know already. :smth023

Bands tour without albums to support all the time.

Just look at The Sisters Of Mercy.

Remember the last album they released?
18 flipping years & they still tour.
They have new songs too (about 10)
They still tour.

Wish they'd release an album too though   :cry:     
Cheers

yes it´s still time for a new SOM record !!!!!!!!!!


in 2004 the released the album during the festivale? tour.
they played a much new songs on the hurrican festival, and the next day on the southside festival the played more "old" stuff, because they saw at hurricane, thats a problem playing new songs on festivals.
1982 pornography was released after the tour what i can remember

i personally like to hear the new album before the tour, but this tour i can´t be around so i get more exciting for the tapings.........

well, The Cure began this tour, in mind to release the 13th album, at some time during this tour.. yet ( despite a few cancellations and rescheduled dates) are still continuing their world tour... and have not officially released a single , although have played a few 'teasers'..  ;)

The fact that the tour continues...( mostly sold-out).. without a new album to release.. says it all.  :smth023

IF THEY GO ON WITH THE TOUR WITHOUT THE ALBUM IT WILL BE RATHER DISAPPOINTING.

LABEL EXECUTIVE THOUGHTS:


"IF YOU SELL OUT THE TOUR WITHOUT NEW ALBUM TO PROMOTE - WHY NEW ALBUM?!"
Fatter than Bob, balder than Porl, as sober as Simon, as amusing as Jason

i don´t know why the sell this tour out.
like i said before in vienna as an example.
dream tour 2000  1500 tickets sold, concert wasn´t sold out.
but there was promotion at the radio.

2008 4tour, almost no promotion, no new album, but sold out over 3600 tickets ???

i can´t believe that. don´t know why. most people don´t know the cure. i was almost an outsider with my the cure t-shirts.
but than came "spiderman" which mde them a little famous. but 2008 ?????
youngsters don´t know the cure i think.
or is it that emo thing, that the cure is modern again at teenagers ??

in my case.. influence from the generation before. But I can say this... my mum a big Crowded House fan.for over 20 years.. and the last concert she saw, before they split-up, all the crowd were 'yuppies' in her words, and they didn't even know the words to the songs!!

They call me an emo at school.. but i like a mixture of music.. and only called myself a curefan after the concert here ...  :smth023 and BTW.. VERY happy to wear my curefan t-shirt and tour t-shirts.. PROUDLY!!
Who am I? Who are you? Is this world what we percieve it to be? Do we even exist?

i am wearing my cure t-shirts PROUDLY all the time. my classic is the wish tour tshirt, which i like most. and some from the head on the door area .....

my brother hated the cure. i loved them :-)
now his son is an so called emo now, with black hair and this emo style. and he has bought a cure cd i heard today from my mother. that made me laugh. poor brother ! the cure started something, and there music is for teenagers , doesnt mind 80ies,90ies, or 00ies

My friends' nephew is 16 and he says that lots of kids at his school are into The Cure.
