QuoteThe Cure has been a regular at Rock Werchter since the 80s, with a visit roughly every 5-6 years. The last time was in 2019, so they can't really miss the 50th anniversary of the festival in 2025.
The address of Pinkpop is probably not too far into The Cure's navigation systems either. They were there as headliner in 2012 and at the anniversary edition in 2019. Next year would be a logical continuation of the warm ties between the two.
