  1. I doubt that they'll use their entire allotted time. They haven't yet done it this year, so why start now?

  2. Well, three hours less the half hour or so they wait for people to keep applauding before coming back out on stage for multiple "encores." What seemed kind of cool when reading about it was pretty annoying in person.

    1. thats pretty much exactly whats supposed to happen during encores. so....yeah WTF. go see bands that don't have the catalogue to support encores. the resentment some cure fans exhibit is seriously confusing.

    2. I'm not resentful. I enjoyed the shows that I attended, even the Bestival Toronto performance that the band cut short.

    1. Exactly how dare they not ask Shawn for permission? I kinda understand though Cuz these shows were generally shorter than the 2008/2013
