According our friends at hispacure.com "it's just a matter of time for The Cure to make an official announcement confirming their participation in Sydney, including BIG surprises in the lineup"

This is interesting.... 8)

Trust... · May 04, 2011, 21:32:04

BIG surprises in the Line-up ... Soooooooo curious ....

dsanchez · May 04, 2011, 21:58:05

OK guys, rumour is that Roger O'Donnell is going back to The Cure, that's all I heard so far. He even mentioned Australia in his Twitter account: "You know I could have sworn the water swirled in the other direction in Australia? Bloody Google ruins everything..."

Altough I don't know what the hell he means with that

danny999911 · May 04, 2011, 22:14:54

Oh I think it's pretty obvious that he's back in the cure, there are just so many hints in his tweets, like saying he's going out to buy black clothes and a tambourine... that he's usually bad at keeping secrets but has kept this one well... and when someone asked him about his 'old band' (the cure) he replied talking about his other old bands. I'm almost certain he's back.

dsanchez · May 04, 2011, 22:29:00

It seems that Laurence Tolhurst is also going back with The Cure but probably just for a few appearances (not as a regular Cure member). According to hispacure.com Roger recently added Lol through social networks. Asked about this (Lol and Roger never had any relation), Roger said "when you will see the news Robert is going to publish you will understand it"

Now that I remember, The Cure played in Sydney 30 years ago, so this show would be a kind of 30Th Anniversary celebration, right?
