Indie pop/rock icons The Cure will headline the 2019 Rock on the Lawns music festival to be held at Carnival City on March 16.
The Cure is considered, by many, 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 be joined on stage by the likes of Fokofpolisiekar, Ard Matthews, Karen Zoid, Zebra & Giraffe, Opposite The Other, Southern Wild, Hellcats, Dimond Thug and The Robfather (DJ).
Rock on the Lawns is a one-day celebration of rock ‘n’ roll in all its forms.
