The Cure played PinkPop Festival on the weekend and as well as playing a stellar set of hits and and few surprises (Bananafishbones from The Top) they also debuted their new guitarist Reeves Gabrels who is best known for his work with David Bowie in Tin Machine and on his Outside, Earthling and Hours albums. At this stage it is unclear how long Gabrels will stay with the band but it is expected he will tour with them throughout the northern summer.
Watch 50 mins of webcast footage of The Cure playing Friday I’m in Love, Doing the Unstuck, Trust, Want, Wrong Number, One Hundred Years, Disintegration, Lovecats and some of Close To Me at Pinkpop.
Doubtful Sounds 
Saw Reeves with Cure at Paleo…he’s definitely second fiddle in the lineup and was barely audible, even on the guitar solo on Edge of the Deep Green Sea. Maybe Roger’s back in the spotlight.
