Songwords (Expanded) for iPad

"I purchased an iPad many months ago and have loved reading books on it, I figured it would be great to make an ePub of Cure lyrics, so I developed the attached ePub that I've dubbed Songwords (Expanded)." (Thanks Nick)

Bestival statement from Robert

Robert has posted this comment at the official site:
"creeeeeak... AS OF DECEMBER 3RD 2010, THIS IS THE ONLY CURE PERFORMANCE OF ANY DESCRIPTION BOOKED FOR 2011... WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING ANY OTHER EUROPEAN FESTIVALS, AND UNLESS SOMETHING REMARKABLE HAPPENS, WE WILL NOT BE PLAYING ANY OTHER EUROPEAN SHOWS! THIS IS AS CLEAR AND AS DEFINITE AS WE CAN BE... SO IF YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE 120+ MINUTES OF THE CURE NEXT YEAR (AS WELL AS A DAZZLING PANOPLY OF OTHER GREAT ACTS) WE WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU GO TO BESTIVAL! (HOWEVER, IF YOU LIVE IN SOUTH AMERICA, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER WAITING A WHILE BEFORE BOOKING YOUR TICKET... YOU NEVER KNOW... ) ONWARDS! RSX"

Cure play Bestival 2011!

The Cure have announced that they will be headlining Bestival on Sept. 10th, 2011. It is being billed as their only European show of 2011 (actually, Robert's quote says "only European festival show"). Tickets are available now. Not a rumor, not a dream, The Cure are playing live again! Thanks for the early Christmas present, RS!
BBC 6 Music has an interview with Rob Da Bank about the show.

Update: About that "only European show in 2011" vs. "only European festival show in 2011" bit - "I’ve asked the promoter to clarify that. RS signed off the press release as it is but he may have overlooked the discrepancy so I’ll let you know once he comes back to me."

And about single day tickets - "There aren’t any plans at the moment to sell day tickets this year but have asked the promoter to confirm that, again once he comes back to me then you’ll be the first to know." (Thanks Aidan)
