I loved The Cure back in the early 80s (late 70s?). I saw them loads, including a couple of times where they supported The Banshees and RS played guitar for both bands.
I am sorry to say, this is a bit...lacklustre. A bit karaoke like, almost. You want a headliner to blow you away.
Stormzy did. The Killers manifestly did not. The Cure tonight? Meh.
My favourite bits have been: The Ezra Collective (bringing on Jorja Smith and Loyle Carner was special), The Comet is Coming, Loyle Carner, Chemical Brothers, Foals and Lewis Capaldi's stage entrance. I am looking forward to catching up with Kamasi Washington, The Streets and Neneh Cherry.
I wish I was there.

God, we moan about Glenn Murray being too old at 35 - Robert Smith is a ****ing legend! I’m 60 next year, my back aches, my knees creak, and I normally have early nights... give the man a medal!

I don't think I have ever stayed up late to watch a live concert with music I don't really like.
The whole thing has been top class.
Does he play the local pub in Burwash on an open mic evening.

Agreed and, as I've pointed out earlier, I saw them ten times in the 80s. Check out Sons of Kemet and Sharon Van Etten.
I thought the cure were absolutely magnificent tonight. Sorry it was meh for you

If someone has managed to sit through 90 minutes of meh, it can’t have been that meh!!!
Call me cynical, but was he randomly plucked from the crowd?

I have always liked The Cure, and was looking forward to it. I hoped it would be special, but for me, it wasn't. I was disappointed.
This has just been compounded by a too slow and too calm version of the majesty that is Boys Don't Cry.
That's a bit unfair. The bloke is 60 and he's played a barnstormer tonight. Not missed a beat, not fluffed a lyric and sounding like he did, give or take, 30 years ago.
He has sung every note by himself for 2 hours non-stop. I think he has done an incredible job. It must be hard doing that when you know it is, in all probability, for the last time, but still carry it off.
To close the Pyramid stage is a huge responsibility. Job done, I reckon.

Sen-****ing-sational. No gimmicks, fireworks or confetti just brilliant musicianship, great sound and a legendary front man

And another year of the edgy middle class Butlins draws to a close. Notting Hill Carnival with tents.
Nothing to add to that mate, you have said it all.

I didn't know Dave was there. Another set to catch up on.

This, with huge great brass knobs on.
Think I started a thread some time last year asking if The Cure were the UKs greatest rock (sic) band - my feelings haven’t changed after tonight’s performance. No gimmicks, just a good old fashioned musical treat.

That Seagulls flag has been getting some good exposure this weekend, Streets lead singer just grabbed at it doing his crowd surf.
