[tweetmeme]It’s well-documented that The Cure likes to play long, even in festival settings. Friday night, the band headlined the BottleRock Festival in Napa Valley, Calif., where they were given a two-and-a-half hour time slot… which apparently wasn’t enough.
As Robert Smith and Co. launched into their 34th song of the night, “Why Can’t I Be You?,” festival organizers cut the power — as you can see below (via Chain of Flowers). This, of course, is not the first time that’s happened to The Cure at a major festival.
