Franz Ferdinand were the only band I really enjoyed. White Lies were okay. Crystal Castles were horrible as were the crowd (was like a fucking episode of Skins). The Cure were very boring so I left after about 35 minutes.

Crystal Castles and Cure were legendary. I travelled a day to make this gig, well worth it for those 2 bands. EDIT: Michael Jackson has 10 shows coming up at o2. His final tour before he dies.

The Cure are so awesome live. I feel sorry for them though, no matter how awesome their new album material is, it didn't seem like much of the crowd @ the O2 was getting into it.. And The Cure themselves seemed sooo reluctant to play their old classics.

The o2 arena is the best arena in England so long as you're reasonably close to the stage. The Cure were AWESOME!

Killing An Arab has been retitled on a lot of recent press / and the TIB album re-issue due to the current political climate.

The Cure were amazing. I was so happy when they played Disintegration and Just Like Heaven and the encore songs. Would like to have heard Close to me, Lovecats, Push and more songs off Disintegration, but still great. Crystal castles were dire, franz were ok, and white lies were good but felt sorry for them as they had such a small audience.

they did grinding halt and train (which would explain the images of a railway journey in the backdrop ... if you recall) and i think the majority came for the Cure - you can tell by the audience noise level when that twat Zane Lowe was trying to gear everyone up... some came for Crystal Castles alone which was astonishing as they were just appalling. Personally i just went for Franz and the Cure ... Cure mostly because i'd booked tickets before Franz had even been announced.

Did everyone else get the feeling that 90% of the people only came for The Cure?

they did grinding halt, but i'm really not sure about Jumping... it was late & i'd had rather far too much to drink by then ^^ & YouthViolence whats wrong with the O2, its a lot easier to get too than Wembley Arena, they have food, bars, coffee & a club, not so great for summer gigs but for winter i think its a great venue... aslong as you don't have to sit in the higher tier
