The birthday party

The Cure's Robert Smith has shown off his exemplary taste in music before, with the line-up he put together for last year's Meltdown, and he's continued in the same vein with the bill for the band's own Pasadena Daydream Festival, set to take place at the end of August to mark their 40th anniversary. Mogwai and Deftones will again be on duty, and this time Pixies, Throwing Muses and The Twilight Sad will be among those joining them.

Might The Cure yet announce a British leg? Fans will be keeping their fingers crossed, but it seems very unlikely indeed, given that Smith and company are the Sunday night headliners at Glastonbury and already threw an anniversary party in Hyde Park last year.
