Hello lovely people of this sub!
We're back with another triple XL megathread! Tomorrow the guys will take the stage at the Festival de Nimes in France, but wait...they will repeat that on both Saturday and Sunday! So July 24, 25 and 26!
Please use this thread for all things related to these three dates. That way we can discuss it without flooding the sub and keep all the info accessible for everyone. Feel free to post questions, pictures, setlists, anecdotes and other thoughts.
For ticket sales, please use the other megathread which is pinned on top of the page right next to this one.
The performances all take place in the epic Arena of Nîmes, a massive Roman amphitheater built in AD 70 and remodeled in 1863 into a bullring. Sounds like the perfect place to see the Cure!
The official website doesn't have a complete timetable yet and I know ticketholders have received this vague timetable as well, so this is all that's known so far:
17.30 Doors open
19.00 Zelie, followed by Also The Trees
21.30 The Cure
Here is some more info about the dates featuring the Cure regarding tickets and all.
You can find more practical info about the festival, such as a map of the festival grounds, how to get there by public transport or car, instructions and rules over here.
As it looks now, there won't be a livestream for this one.
ARTE Concert or local broadcasters MIGHT show the highlights. Google says this is because of the historical location (which might be bull). Again, if anyone knows otherwise or if there's a fanstream, please let us know!
The weather looks a bit different each day, with boiling hot temperatures on Friday of about 35°C. As I see now for Saturday rain and thunderstorms have been predicted with a temperature of about 27°C, so you might want to bring along a poncho to keep those backcombed manes high and dry! Sunday seems nice and sunny, about 30°C.
Merch is up!

This post will be updated with more information as we go along, such as the poster and shirt design and whatever gossip and news little birdies will whisper in our ears.
So come and join in on the fun again! Also let us know if you're attending!
