The Cure likely to play upbeat songs for Picnic set

Headliners The Cure are set to play "upbeat" songs at Electric Picnic, but could change their set list moments before they go on stage.

Band leader Robert Smith said with their line up changing to include former David Bowie collaborator Reeves Gabrels, they are playing more of their upbeat tracks, but he could slip a few "epic" songs into the set depending how he feels just before they go on stage.
