North American Fall 2007 Cure shows re-scheduled for Spring
8/24/2007 5:58:28 AM - by CURE:ROBERT

With all apologies for any inconvenience or disappointment it may cause, we have made a decision to move the September/October 2007 North American Cure shows to April/May 2008.

The schedule as it stands only gives us a couple of weeks to finish our new double album before we hit the road again, and we know this just isn’t enough time to complete the project to our total satisfaction.

Although this last month’s tour of Australasia showed that a great Cure show is not dependent on a new Cure album, it has to be remembered that we hadn’t played Australia for 7 years, New Zealand for 15 years, Japan for 23 years(!), and Singapore or Hong Kong ever before – so the absence of ‘new’ songs in the set was not really much of an issue.

However, we want to remodel/rework the live show for North America, change things around, incorporate new songs… and we need time and focus to do this.

So although we can agree it is a great shame to move these dates – believe us we have been looking forward to them more than anyone! – and know there will be a lot of disappointed people out there, we honestly feel that in the bigger picture we are making the right decision.

All tickets held for all 2007 North American Cure shows will be valid for the re-scheduled 2008 shows, and of course anyone who seeks a refund will be able to get one.

All validity/refund/rescheduling details will be announced as soon as we have them.

We are still going to headline the San Francisco Download Festival October 6th, and we will still be performing at the MTV Latin America Awards October 18th.

We will also play the three scheduled Sports Palace Mexico City shows October 20th/21st/22nd, as by this point we feel sure we will have finished the new album, and will be more than happy to start dropping a fresh song or three into the set each night…

Once again, our genuine apologies to anyone who is upset by this announcement - please be encouraged by our promise:

The Spring 2008 Cure shows will be even better than the Fall 2007 ones would have been!!!

See you all soon…
Love

had tickets. mailed them back for a refund because i have no idea if i will be able to go to the new date for my show. i'll try to get tickets when the new dates are announced.

supposedly a lot of the us shows were selling poorly. i would be psyched to go see them just do a greatest hits show to be perfectly honest (just because i've never seen them before).

I was going to opening night in Tampa. Now, with the timeframe they're looking at next year, I don't know if I'm going to be able to make it, so our tickets are going back as well.

I had them for the Madison Square Garden show, and also the Download Festival in San Jose. The Download Festival is still on, so at least this will help cover those expenses, though I'd have liked to seem them in MSG.

I had a terrible time ordering tickets for Philly, and ended up doing it over the phone because the comcastTIX.com website refused to work for me ... so, I won't get an e-mail telling me how to acquire a refund (if that's what we decide to do.) I just called the number on the website and was told that they are not allowing any refunds until the rescheduled date is announced. Hmmm ... don't think I'm going to accept that answer and will call back tomorrow. At this moment, we're thinking we'll just keep the seats we have and go when it's rescheduled, but one of my friends has a rigid work schedule set far in advance, so it really does matter when they reschedule this. When it's dead easy for me to acquire tickets to so many other (MUCH cheaper) venues around here, I get pissed off that those stupid sports complex venues make me jump through hoops just to see a show. The less-than-wonderful seats I often end up with add insult to injury. I hope these bands appreciate the fans who inconvenience themselves to come to see them play.
