🎶 CURE-ALL!
For the last three days, Nîmes has been full of black t-shirt-clad people "of a certain age" (as the French say!), all in town for the three concerts at the Arènes by The Cure.
All three completely sold out as soon as tickets went on sale, with many fans flying in from overseas to experience their favourite band in the unique setting of Nîmes' Roman amphitheatre.
Hotels, restaurants & bars are all jam-packed so it's a bumper weekend for Nîmes hospitality! It's 7.45pm on the huge terrace of Balthazar, one of our fave cafés in the Place de Marché, with every table in the entire square packed with concert goers (in addition, the guest in our rental apartment Au Coeur de Nîmes is part of the Cure entourage, running the pre-concert parties each day!)
The Cure are the closing act of this year's Festival de Nîmes - two full months of amazing concerts in the Arènes, featuring France's top stars plus US/Brit stars including Katy Perry, Black Eyed Peas, Sting, Marilyn Manson, Pixies, Jamiroquai and more, plus "Gladiator Live" - the original movie shown on a giant screen with 200 musicians and singers providing the live soundtrack.
Check back in for next year's Festival de Nîmes - acts are confirmed throughout the year, but you have to move as tickets sell out super-fast!
