wanted to post a short video but don’t know how to downsize it, so i tweeted it just and post the link 😂 low tech DIY haha

nice video, yes that was a lovely moment... i also adored the coda to A Night Like This, with just Robert and his guitar!

We weren't that close to the stage but we had an amazing time! It was even better when it got full dark around the half. I see they streamed it. I'll watch that now to prepare for Exit tomorrow

There were some annoying Tool fans around me at some point that started to yell "we want tool we want tool" a few times, like holy shiat dudes. I LOVE Tool too and those 2 bands were the main reason I got my 4 day ticket but they were so annoying

hi curebelgrade, nice to read you had a great time too - true that the atmosphere and the visuals got better as night fell over Werchter. also nice timing because i think the sun went down around the time of deep green sea, at the start of the darker and gloomier part of the main set.

and yes, i found myself surrounded by quite a few Tool fans as well - luckily they responded quite respectfully to The Cure though, even if not quite as enthousiastic as us fans would

hello and welcome to the forum

was in werchter on friday and as well in 1990. what a great set that was then, pleasure trips, but what a great atmosphere it was now! the band has grown together so well, even if i missed some of my favourite songs i just enjoyed the whole atmosphere and joy so much.

as to the spot i was much more lucky this time! reading my notes i was just behind the second barrier then, and now i was in 5th row or so. my 17 year old me would have been over the moon just as i was now!

thank you godwina, yes 1990 was marvellous... i was in the front pit left side, just like i was this time around (not nearly as close as you were though :))

and i remember some serious dancing and jumping going on, especially during the walk and 10:15/arab which was quite impressive to the 18 year old me. but this time around was wonderful as well, especially with the band so tight and joyous.

was on the left side in 1990 as well, and overjoyed with hearing a strange day and charlotte sometimes. was my 4th cure concert and similiary impressed by the crowd.

luckily on friday i did not notice any annoyances by other people, be it for tool or anything else, just a really relaxed and happy time

How did you like the band before The Cure - Bring Me The Horizon? I saw both The Cure and Tool fans not liking them :-*

It was a strange run, 3 bands with like 5% the same fanbase

to be honest, neither BMTH or even Tool are my personal cup of tea really - even if i see they are great at what they are doing. myself however, i really enjoyed seeing part of the Robyn concert after The Cure - which goes to show how we all enjoy The Cure with quite different musical backgrounds

. by the way, another highlight earlier on during the day i thought was Belgian band Whispering Sons - quite obviously and seriously influenced by The Cure whilst having a truly inspired sound of their own... maybe anyone saw them?

I did and I've been following them since their first single (I live in Belgium so I can regularly hear them on StuBru). Fenne, the singer, confessed that before joining the band she had no idea who The Cure, the Sisters, Siouxsie .. were, and she discovered all that music thanks to the other members for whom these are a major influence. She has told in an interview that she was looking forward to seeing The Cure live, and indeed I could see her frontstage during the gig 😊

nice meeting a fellow Belgian on here! yes, i had heard them on the radio a few times but little was i prepared for what i thought was a storming show - even at 1 pm broad daylight. such presence of the singer, and real great, wonderfully lingering guitars. obviously i love the eighties sound, but while there is danger of turning into pastiche or retro act, Whispering Sons struck me very much as a thing of now. i will definitely be seeing more of them this summer.

I'm going to see them in Lille at l'Aéronef on September 25th 😊
