Last year The Cure celebrated their 40th anniversary with a huge festival at Hyde Park, and now Robert Smith has curated another festival which takes place this summer in Pasadena, California.
According to Smith, “Hyde Park was a fabulous experience, the whole day was really magical, and we wanted to create something with a similar celebratory vibe for this summer.”
The Pasadena Daydream Festival will be headlined (of course) by The Cure and will include performances by Pixies, Deftones, Mogwai, The Twilight Sad, Kaelan Mikla and more. The daylong event takes place at The Brookside at The Rose Bowl in Pasedena, California on August 31st. Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 17th at 3PM ET (noon PT). One dollar from every ticket sold will go towards music and arts education organizations and local charities, which include Mr. Holland’s Opus, Little Kids Rock, Free Arts for Abused Children, Inner-City Arts and The Painted Turtle.
