The rumor that we've had every year since the beginning of time is popping up again. The Cure are rumored to be playing Lollapalooza, but this rumor may actually be true. The official lineup announcement is scheduled for April 9th so I guess we will know soon enough.
Info from COF:
Lollapalooza 2013 rumor
Now that we're finished with the South American show rumors, I guess it's time for the North American ones to start. Here's the yearly claim that The Cure will be playing Lollapalooza in Chicago this August. And more here. (Thanks David)
Nothing to get excited about, and obviously just speculation, so we'll wait and see if there's anything to it. Also, the image posted on those websites, which seems to be the only reason The Cure are being mentioned, is 99% confirmed to be a fake.
Update (03/11/13): Okay, time to take this a bit more seriously. The Cure are now listed as "logical" at the Consequence of Sound Festival Outlook page, since it's the same weekend as Osheaga, and has been pointed out that the two festivals usually share many of the same bands.
Update (03/26/13): Rumors continue to be very strong on this, and it's moving towards being more of a surprise if they DON'T play Lolla, than if they do. All of the General Admission 3 day passes sold out today (VIP & Platinum passes still available), so only one day passes will be available when the official announcement is made on April 9th. Expect some lineup hints & clues leading up to that.
Its like a Cure tour on a budget...for them, not us as festivals are really pricey and personally I'd rather pay that money for a Cure only show. But I understand that it allows them to play in more places.
Multiple industry sources confirmed Thursday that a picture of a Lollapalooza poster that leaked on-line Wednesday night was legitimate. Lollapalooza spokeswoman Shelby Meade would not comment on the leaked lineup, but said official confirmation of the actual lineup would come next week with a new on-sale date for single-day tickets (three-day tickets have already sold out).

If it is true....
ROBERT SMITH I. HATE. YOU.
There is NO WAY I am going to the city of Chicago alone and at night. I like The Cure ALOT, but not enough to get mugged and raped. Looks like I'll have to wait another 4 years to see them. That is, if they're still touring then.

You would not be able to get someone to accompany you?
So sorry for you ;( don't lose hope, maybe there'll be more north american dates this year... I'm from Italy so I won't see them anyway all we can do is wait...
Btw, who's going to Lollapalooza if the lineup will be confirmed?
