WIN! Rock with The Cure at Carnival City

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.

Indie pop/rock icons The Cure will headline the 2019 Rock on the Lawns music festivals in Johannesburg and Cape Town.

The Cure is considered to be one of the greatest rock acts in the world. With a catalogue spanning 40 years, the UK-based outfit, fronted by Robert Smith, will play on the Festival Lawns at Carnival City on Saturday, March 16.

Rock on the Lawns is a one-day celebration of rock ’n’ roll in all its forms.

It promises to be a beautiful day out on the lawns with beer gardens, gourmet food trucks, ample parking and facilities and an incredible line-up of local and international musicians all sharing one magnificent stage.

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 and The Lovecats.

Their critically acclaimed album Disintegration is considered one of the most important albums in music history.

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” said AMP Events founder Andy Mac.

“It’s a fantastic day out with your friends, 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.”
