SHOWS of a lost world TOUR Song Counting

Do we know how many songs have been rehearsed for the tour?


Hopefully around 100 with the 12 Lost World tracks.

40 seems very low. especially as they already played 36

88 songs in 2016

It'll be interesting to see what makes space for any incoming new songs - if they drop any of the sacred core songs or if things like Drowning Man and Figurehead are squeezed out again (which would be a shame).

To be honest, personally, I’m not a fan of listening new songs for the first time when watching a band. I like to go to show and know every song. If they haven’t released the album on time for the tour, I think they shouldn’t do more than two new songs everynight.

Specially when you have a back catalogue as impressive as The Cure’s.

I thought the Dream Tour was solely a vehicle (in the absence of any other serious marketing like singles etc.) to promote Bloodflowers & JLH got a run out most nights on that tour. Boys Don't Cry,10:15 Saturday Night, &
Killing An Arab also got a few outings in NA & Australia.
They're not going to drop the pop. It gave them a whole new audience & an audience that pays good money to go & see a band play the songs that maybe first turned them on to The Cure.
Besides. It's great to have a nice mix of gloom & pop in the set to appeal to the whole audience. Dropping all the hits would instantly exclude a lot of people from enjoying a great night out & going home on a high.
& what they've done in recent tours is quite clever. A largely mixed bag of back catalogue songs for the main part & pop to finish. Keeps the "pop fans" there & introduces them to material they're maybe not so familiar with while also giving the "drop the pop" crowd the option of leaving before it gets all jolly, safe in the knowledge that they'll not need to stick around for their old faves as they've likely been played or won't be.

I'm the same, I want to know every song. That's why I'll listen to live versions of the new songs if I decide to go to any of the shows.
They've called it the Lost World tour so they should play the Lost World songs.

I can't be the only fan interested in the cure's new album and new songs!
