7 days !!!

Exactly. And it looks like no-one from this forum is going 

heyy i'd be nothing but all set to GO, it's just that florida sounds "a bit" too heavy for my purse right now 
but all of the US members are staying home?

[japanesebaby]

I just don't see them busting out The Holy Hour, A Short Term Effect, Last Dance, Six Different Ways, Other Voices, and the like at a dance festival.  Makes me very curious what will go down.   

i'm curious to hear whether they stick to playing that god-awfully horrendous 'us or them'. because if they still do then that's it, they are simply out of their mind. mad. crazy. insane. etc.

Well actually, I know this for a fact.

"We're going to do a special set for it, playing songs we wouldn't normally play."  I'm not sure I buy that.  I just don't see them busting out The Holy Hour, A Short Term Effect, Last Dance, Six Different Ways, Other Voices, and the like at a dance festival.  Makes me very curious what will go down.   

Probably things like Wrong Number/The Walk, it's been a while since they played them regulary.

maybe they do complet Mixed Up album with backing track, that would be suitable for such festival. 
and also easy job.

Q: What can we expect from The Cure's show at Ultra?

A: We want this Miami thing to be special, that won't be like anything else we've done, and probably won't be like anything we will do. So we're trying to create a two-hour show that reflects the fact that we're in Miami playing a dance festival. And we've hit kind of a wall, because we're unsure within the band whether we should try to reflect what [DJs] do onstage -- a dance set.

[KingOfSomeIsland]

sweet theyre playing Bloodflowers tracks!

[electric_glare]

Seems a strange "dance" set to me. Unless it's remix versions?

Hard to describe....I think Jason has some drum track thing going and may be playing either a different set of drums or has them tuned differently.  They definitely sounded different tonight.  It also didn't help that the sound system there was crap...lots of crack and pops (not just for the Cure, but for everyone else).  And I think Robert turned the mic off during the first encore- his lyrics cut out, he looked at the mic, then the lyrics came back.

I was a bit disappointed that:

a) No new material
b) Robert didn't come out with Junkie XL who played immediatley before the Cure

[lostflower4]

Four new songs... But the rest was rather predictable.

Wonder if some songs were played differently?

[j]

The first few definitely sounded different.  I am beyond tone deaf, so I am worthless at this.  Jason's drums sounded different.  I thought I picked up on a slightly slower pace, maybe.  And I did not recognize the big hand right away
