The Cure to tour SA in 2019

Rock On The Lawns is a one-day celebration of rock ‘n roll in all its forms.

Other artists confirmed on the line-up include Fokofpolisiekar, Ard Matthews, Karen Zoid, Zebra & Giraffe, Opposite The Other, Southern Wild, Hellcats and The Robfather (DJ).

The Cure first performed in 1978 and have since released 37 singles including Friday I’m In Love, Lullaby, Close to Me, Love Song, Boys Don’t Cry, The Lovecats, Let’s Go To Bed, Just Like Heaven and many more.  Their critically acclaimed album Disintegration is considered one of the most important albums in music history.

The Cure are playing select events around the world as part of a 40-year anniversary tour. Recent headlines include a sold-out, 65,000-capacity BST Hyde Park London concert in July 2018, which met with rave reviews.

The Rock On The Lawns music festivals in Johannesburg and Cape Town will be the first-ever performances in South Africa by this globally loved band, and festival-goers are in for a real treat, as they are planning a two-hour-plus, career-spanning set filled with fan favourites from their incredible catalogue.

“This is the second Rock on the Lawns festival experience we’ve created in South Africa,” says AMP Events founder Andy Mac “It’s a fantastic day out with your mates enjoying great bars, great food and of course, world-class live artists! All in a comfortable, relaxed environment. Last year we brought Pixies out as our headliner and the response was terrific. The Cure has been very high on my list of acts to bring to fans here for a long time, and I’m delighted that we’ve finally managed to make it happen!”

Tickets prices start from R495 and are available from 9am on Friday, 24 August 2018, via computicket.com.
