Live Report July 25th, Qudos Bank Arena, Sydney NSW

me thinking : if everything in life was so f*cking cool and simple as a The Cure Concert/Show . . .

Maybe I should go to that one. ... 😜

Can confirm that. Was 2000 (second show) and 2008 in Paris. 2008 was the only show in Europe they played 4 Encores...!!!

Paris is always special.

Btw. I still search a ticket

Good morning all I really wanted to post last night after the concert but by the time we were back to the hotel it was after 1:30am and I fell asleep pretty quickly. Last night was incredible! My partner and I were standing 3 rows from the stage just in front of Robert but later in the night got a little further from the stage. We were in the first 30 non VIP people to be let in, there was lots of waiting and excitement prior to the show and we were so lucky as got to hear a few of the soundcheck songs before the show. Robert's voice during the concert was quite strong, powerful and as lovely as always. Everyone's playing blew us away! We met a few really nice fans. One was standing next to us for most of the show and got just as excited each song.I adored the Plainsong, POY and Closedown start to the night, very beautiful. Some really nice singles like High and A Night Like This in the beginning. Robert was dancing a lot throughout the concert and smiling and chatting with us a bit. Roger looked fabulous and smiled quite a few times I loved when he played with the light up tamborine at the end that fans gave and then he gave his tamborine to them. Reeves was incredible I really was interested to see how he played as I had only seen pearl/porl play before. Like Cockatoos. All I Want, FTEOTDGS, Primary, One Hundred Years into Disintegration, Want, SDS, Icnbts,The Hungry Ghost and Friday I'm In Love for sentimental reasons were probably my favourites. A lot of the set and the order or some tracks was quite surprising. Towards the end of the night I kept thinking sadly the show was coming again and there would be no Friday and even told my partner but to our surprise a few tracks later and they played it. That was so beautiful and special to us as over five years ago we met because of the song and have been together for almost five years. I never wanted the concert and night to end sadly it did but all the dancing during the pop song and the crowd and bands energy was fantasic. Honestly the best concert I have ever been to by far and my partner shares the same view except he thinks it was the best show he will ever see! Post concert we actually caught Robert's guitar pick (we believe it's Robert's it's a black Jim Dunlop 1mm). I've recorded a few songs including Like Cockatoos and have some shorter videos of Robert dancing and many photos to share when I get home if people are interested . I tried to scope Like Cockatoos but there was no WiFi and mobile data wasn't working very well sadly. Truly an amazing night, experience and performances. I hope everyone else there had an incredible time and I hope everyone continuing the fun in Australia really enjoys Melbourne or whichever city they are attending . Best wishes everyone.

Glad you enjoyed so much violetsometimes
Thank you for sharing your impressions. There is nothing better than The Cure concert Lucky girl!

Hi. I'm not looking into downloading those two new songs. I heard them already on youtube. Looking forward to hearing them live in Lisbon, and perhaps in the next album...
