The cure live at the mercedes-benz arena berlin.

As part of their "Euro Tour 2022", British legends The Cure will come to the Uber Arena on 18th of October 2022.

Tickets are available now.

Their impressive headlining shows in the 2019 festival summer made it clear that The Cure still have exceptional stage presence, even more than 40 years after their formation in 1978. With an immense song selection from 13 studio albums, including groundbreaking pieces like "Disintegration" and "Bloodflowers", as well as over 40 worldwide single hits like "A Forest", "Boys Don't Cry" or "Friday I'm In Love", the band led by frontman Robert Smith has always been a master at turning every concert into a unique experience.

THE CURE kündigen „EURO TOUR“ 2022 an – mit sieben Konzerten in Deutschland

Konzerthammer zum Wochenstart: The Cure kündigen sich an. Im Rahmen ihrer frisch bestätigen „ EURO TOUR 2022 “ wird die Band um Frontmann Robert Smith insgesamt 44 Konzerte in 22 Ländern spielen, sieben Stück davon in Deutschland. Genauer: Hamburg, Leipzig, Berlin, München, Frankfurt, Stuttgart und Köln stehen im Oktober und November 2022 auf dem Reiseplan.

Bei den Shows kann die Band aus dem Vollen schöpfen: 13 Studioalben mit über 40 weltweiten Single-Hits lassen ja schon vermuten, dass beim Aufstellen der Set-List die sprichwörtliche „Qual der Wahl“ vorherrschen dürfe.

Und dann haben The Cure nach ihrer Aufnahme in die „Rock `n` Roll Hall of Fame“ 2019 auch noch angefangen, an einem neuen Album zu arbeiten. Aus dem Umfeld der Band ist zu vernehmen, dass die Songs für Studioalbum Nummer 14 mittlerweile fertig aufgenommen sind. Insgesamt 67 Minuten Spielzeit soll die neue Platte bieten – und wir sind jetzt schon gespannt darauf, neues Material zu hören.

Übrigens: Der Vorverkauf bei EVENTIM startet am Samstag, den 11. Dezember um 10 Uhr. Die genauen Spielstätten und Konzertdaten haben wir euch hier in der Übersicht aufgelistet.

The Cure are a band formed in 1976 hailing from Crawley, West Sussex, in the United Kingdom. Fronted by lead singer and songwriter Robert Smith, they came from the post-punk scene of the early 80’s to become one of the biggest and most influential bands in modern rock.

When a band gets to be as truly worshipped as The Cure, it can be an interesting and slightly bizarre thing to look at their early days. A little bit like seeing your favourite actor wondering whether they’re going to go with white or brown bread in a local Tesco. Or an important politician spotted zoning out on public transport, it brings them back down to earth and reminds you that they’re not all-conquering, all-powerful cosmically divine extra-dimension visitors who know the secrets of the universe, but a guy from the Sussex suburbs who formed a band to play at a school concert.

They probably looked ridiculous at their first shows, and not in the awesome way. They probably wrote some godawful songs. Some punters probably watched an early incarnation of The Cure and thought, for good reason, that they were a bunch of no-hopers. Every band has those days and if they haven’t one should be very, very suspicious of them. What makes The Cure so special is that they absolutely had those days, but knowing about them doesn’t take the sheen off them at all. They’re still a vitally important band, influential to thousands of bands the world over and that’s enough to make them legends, before the image and before the imitators.

And it all began with a school concert. In April 1973, five students from Notre Dame Middle School in Crawley formed Obelisk, the first tentative musical project of one Mr Robert Smith, who was the bands pianist. Future Cure cohorts Mick Dempsey and Lol Tolhurst backed him up on guitar and percussion, respectively, but it wasn’t until 1976 that the trio began to take making music more seriously. The band was reshuffled to feature Smith on the guitar, Dempsey on bass and Tolhurst left the now renamed Malice, but it was only to last a year until their lead guitarist left as well.

The remaining members got Tolhurst back as their drummer and renamed themselves again.This time, they would be called Easy Cure. By September 1977, Smith took over lead vocals after several unsuccessful auditions and by the start of 1978, they had dropped the Easy from their name and had recorded their first demo tape. This tape found its way to Polydor Records scout Chris Parry, who was so taken with the band that he signed them to his own label Fiction in September of that very year. In a move that nobody would get away with now, their track “Killing An Arab” was released soon after as their very first single.

It was a move that gained as much acclaim as controversy, to the extent that a re-release of the single had to be packaged with a sticker on the cover denying its supposedly racist connotations. Thankfully, the bands energetic post-punk got more attention, and their hype was considerably heightened with a session on John Peel’s legendary Radio One show. By the following year, their debut album “Three Imaginary Boys”, was released, and as part of its promotion, the band embarked on their first major support tour opening for Siouxsie And The Banshees.

This was to be a major step forward for the band, as Smith was coaxed into playing guitar for The Banshees after their original axe-man left shortly before the tour. The experience of being a Banshee profoundly changed Smith’s attitude towards the music that his band played, and when before he was most influenced by The Buzzcocks and Elvis Costello, afterwards he wanted to match the power that he felt while playing Siouxsie’s music. The result was 1980’s “Seventeen Seconds” and arguably, that was when they became The Cure that we know today.

Since then, they’ve been most known for essentially creating Goth music with the aforementioned record, its follow up “Faith”, and 1982’s bleak masterpiece “Pornography”. However, after those records they released some of the most romantic, beautiful and downright succesful pop of the 1980’s and early 90’s, with albums like “Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me”, “Wish” and “The Top” showing just what Smith could do with a lovelorn lyric and a truly gorgeous melody. It’s their mastery of these two extremes that really show why The Cure are as loved as they are. They exemplify the human condition, and reflect when one is ecstatic and when one is at their lowest with equal skill and sensitivity.

There’s no-one else like them, and it’ll be a while before we see their likes again. See this band as soon as possible.

Live-Bewertungen

Reviewing a show of one of your favorite Bands who have the distinction of being in your Top 5 (if not #1) live experiences of all time can be a bit daunting.

It can go a number of ways.

1. Another Great show as hoped.

2. Sub par and a let down.

3. The Band just "mails it in" (which is the worst).

The Cure, who have been around since 1976 (Easy Cure) and haven't toured the States anyway with a new album since 2008 are currently embarking on a substantial North American tour and with no new album I was really only expecting a "Greatest Hits" type show honestly? And given their Longevity and slew of "Hits" from the heyday of MTV I guess I couldn't blame them and I would have been satisfied more than likely?

Ah, but that was not the case in Boston (6-16-16) at Agganis Arena!

The Cure came out full throttle with a high energy level for what would turn out to be a marathon show of 3 hours which included.

Not 1. Not 2. Not even 3. But 4. Yes. 4 Encore Sets!!!

Were the standards there? Of course how can they not be.

"Inbetween Days", "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" "Let's Go To Bed", "Boys Don't Cry" etc etc etc

And all played with a kicked up, but not hurried, sense of urgency and excitement!

Mixed in though were surprising live Gems like:

"Burn" (1st The Crow soundtrack), "M", "Kyoto Song" and the surprising "Snakepit"!!

"Fascination Street" which has one the most perfect Bass lines ever IMO was a whirlwind of insanity as Simon Gallup just pushed the Band forward.

And the songs just kept coming one after the other while the crowd basked in Robert Smith's wonderfully childlike sense of wonder and emotion in his lyrics and vocals and understated guitar work.

Most Cure fans (me included) knew every single song played which is typical of The Cure fanbase.

But when they launched into the new "It Can Never Be the Same" with it's rumbling Bass line and heart felt lyrics to Robert Smith's Mother(?) I was amazed at how well it slid into this already fantastic set and really really really hope it gets a proper release soon, if it hasn't already and I have somehow missed it?

Robert Smith is an enigma of a front man. He demands your attention but. I don't believe, has never come to grips with his fans adulations and is still obviously shy individual. And I really don't think it's an act?

Simon Gallup is without doubt the energy of this Band still! He stalks the stage and never stops moving. All the while laying down a very unique Bass foundation that compliments Roberts Jangly sparse guitar style perfectly.

Simon does not get the recognition he deserves as a force on the Bass (along with John Taylor of Duran Duran) and if you play Bass you really should take a close listen to his work with The Cure.

Jason Cooper I think has finally come out from the shadow that was Boris Williams and seems comfortable in pushing his style now more in the drumming Dept. which I believe is another reason for the energy level of the Band live.

Roger O'Donnell is sublime on the keyboards and brings that soaring majestic sound needed for anything done from DISINTEGRATION while jumping right over to the nursery rhyme key tinkling of The Cure's early 80's Synth Pop era easily.

Reeves Gabrels who is the current 2nd guitarist in the ever rotating slot is a masterful musician in his own right (David Bowie folks) and honestly I was surprised at how long He has stayed with the Band? But He steps out very tastefully when required and ads his unique flair to the sound. I will admit to missing Porl Thompson who I just think was/ is the elusive component to the Band. But if you have to have Mr. Gabrels who am I to complain?.

Honestly this review could have been round up with one word: "EPIC"

But that, would be "mailing it in".

I first saw the Cure in 1982 in this very same venue, the effectionatelg named by U.S. Muso's as the Hammy Odeon.

Tonight some 30 years later I'm back. I feel at home especially as I'm stranding and I'm where I should be.... Down the Front

Our evening starts with And Also The Trees a reformed eighties outfit who previously supported the Cure on their 1984 tour.

The thing about Robert smith is that he is a prolific song writer and the bands back catalogue is immense which results in us experiencing a three hour plus spectacular.

And what a treat. Hits rained down and more randomly than normal. Tracks from The Top album seemed dominate. Just like Heaven, Charlotte sometimes, Hundred Years, The End and of course the gems Primary, play for today and the classic A Forest.

Of course I'd liked more from Seventeen Seconds and Faith but that would have been greedy. There were plenty of folk here tonight who weren't born when these albums were released

With so much to play we were presented with four encores and finally at 11.15 it all ended with Boys Don't Cry.

It meant so much for me to have returned to this awesome venue to see my favourite band.... The place and the band that started me on my gig going journey

Cheers Robert.... Fantastic

The Cure are a special band and should be heard in a special environment, that is why I saw them at Red Rocks in Colorado. It was a cool night and the sun was sitting low in the sky. That famous colorful Colorado sky fell down across the stage.

The fans were are pretty relaxed and were mostly 25 plus in age. Everyone seemed to be poised for a night of great music. You could hear conversations coming from every direction, everyone hoping their favorite songs will be played.

Just as it was getting dark the band took the stage. Everyone stood and applauded Robert Smith as he paced across the stage and made his way to the microphone stand. As the band members struck a few random chords then the band jumped into “Just Like Heaven”. The frenzy only grew as the bad started without pause to play “Friday I’m In Love”. Everyone was having so much fun. The music sounded better then I have ever heard it before.

Robert Smith played an amazing set list of all the hits over the years. The band played all the old songs like “Boys Don’t Cry” and “Pictures of you” with a fresh take and with a new energy. This band has been around a while and still worth seeing live!

The Cure are legends and any band that will give you a 2 1/2 hour show deserves your respect. That being said this "greatest hits" + a few back-catalogue approach is what you'd expect from the Rolling Stones not from what is still an underground act. That in and by itself wouldn't even be that bad but aside from a few songs 39, A Night Like This, 100 Years sounded bland, uninspired and as though they were just going through the motions... Great light show, technical perfection but no soul! I've seen them twice in the 90's and came out of those shows thrilled, energized and inspired. Those were magical shows where the band managed to transform reality and all (the band included, to judge by their faces) came out of it exhausted and amazed, carried off as by some shamanistic ritual to dark and dangerous lands where we learned to overcome our fears and face the world around us with new hope. This wasn't one of those shows. This was Robert Smith giving his audience 30 of his best songs and not once making a spiritual connection with either the music or the crowd...

Obviously being way too young to remember The Cure the first time around (sort of, ish, ahem, etc), this was the first time seeing this bunch of post-punk proto-goths and inevitably they didn't disappoint.

Despite most of the band heading pretty swiftly towards free-bus-pass age, the gig show kicked along at a pace, with young Mr. Smith barely pausing for breath as they band kicked on through a back catalogue spanning 30+ years.

Having spent the past few weeks attempting to brush up on my Cure knowledge (via Spotify) I can gladly add this band to an ever-growing list of "if you thought the studio version was good...", as tracks like Lullaby, Lovecats and Friday all sounded immense performed live.

Main issue of the night was technical; the lack of big screens at Wembley Arena means if you're right at the back, the band are mere specks on the stage up front. The lighting design was beautifully done though, and went some way to compensate for the lack of being able to see Robert Smith gurning earnestly into the microphone.

Two review, first for The Cure. It was a wonderful show! They were willing to perform hits along with other unknown songs and sounded great at doing it. They had a half and half crowd, some diehard fans and some who thought they were bigger fans than they actually were. With it being May in Pac NW the temperature dropped quickly freezing alot of people enough to say they had seen enough. This wasnt The band's fault for lack of inspired fans. They were everything I expected from a goth rock band from the late 70s and 80s. About the venue: I love the venue as well! We have been living in Portland for 5 years but have never made a point to catch a show in the Washington Amphitheater. Wow! We felt like we were home in the south. Nice concert under the stars and the price was a great as well, considering the crappy prices shows in Portland go for. We will be going back to Sunlight Supply in August.

Buon concerto del gruppo, rovinato dalla pessima acustica del Mediolanum Forum.

L'esecuzione è stata quasi impeccabile, l'interazione col pubblico buona (Robert Smith ha persino azzardato un "Grazie mille", unica ed acclamatissima frase che il pubblico ha capito), alcune canzoni elegantemente riarrangiate.

La qualità sonora, inizialmente pessima (purtroppo tale è rimasta per tutta l'esibizione dei Twilight Sad che aprivano il concerto), è migliorata durante l'esibizione grazie al lavoro ingrato dei fonici e al fatto che gradualmente le chitarre elettriche distorte sono state sostituite con le acustiche o con suoni più docili.

Penso che sia l'ultimo concerto che andrò a vedere al Mediolanum Forum, che è vergognosamente inadatto ad ospitare concerti rock dal punto di vista acustico (peccato, perché dal punto di vista logistico non è male). Ridateci l'arena!

What a concert!

We managed to get front row side view, only a few meters from the stage.

I'd seen them in 1985 in Madrid, 2008 in Melbourne and now in Milan. Awesome songs, still as good as always. A massive repertoire to choose from, but they performed most of their hits, plus a new one, It Can Never Be The Same. Robert as grand as always, he really enjoyed the show.

Simon at his best, he inspired me when I was 17 to play bass guitar, his usual moving around the stage with his bass at knee level!

I missed Porl, though, he has always been the colourful note at the right end of the stage!

Roger as sculptural as always in front of the keyboards and Jason performing at his best.

A magnificent show, what can I say.

My 5th Cure concert, and probably the best I've seen. No doubt it was far better than the last one, also in Barcelona in 2008 (without Roger O'Donnell on keys)

The band is great with Reeves Gabrels and Roger. Jason Cooper sounds better than ever on drums and Simon's bass is terrific.

Missed some gems such as Plainsong, Jupiter Crash, Want, Letter to Elise, but setlist was OK, 32 songs, focusing on The Head on the Door (1985) + Disintegration (89) + Kiss Me (87).

1 great unreleased song: It Can Never Be The Same on 1st encore.

Robert's voice was fine, powerful and clean. Athmosphere was good, proactive and the pop songs encouraged fans to sing along.

Looking fw to a new tour and maybe new album?

3 (three) hours of pure pleasure. 31 songs.

They sang as if they were recording the original albuns. Perfect!

Great quality and performance.

Great respect for the fans, as I never saw.

Best was not possible, im glad I went to this concert. Thank you CURE!

Tour de Cure raises thousands to support the American Diabetes Association

The Tour de Cure in the Capital Region bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars Sunday for the American Diabetes Association.

Cyclists took to the streets in 10, 30, 62 and 100-mile rides as part of the Tour de Cure in the Capital Region .

ADA regional executive director Jeff Collins has seen firsthand how events like this can help a family.

The funds will go towards research. Collins says those who want to donate to the tour can do so on diabetes.org.

And of course CBS 6's Emani Payne was there to emcee.

Father and son ride for a cause at Tour de Cure, embracing the battle with diabetes

by Lara Bryn

This coming weekend is the Tour de Cure Capital Region, the signature awareness and fundraising event for the American Diabetes Association. This year, there's a new red rider with type one diabetes, who's riding with his dad and says this event is about much more than just the ride.

Stu Balter first started riding in the Tour de Cure Capital Region back in 2017.

"Actually the first year I decided to ride was only because I wanted to do a 50-mile ride," said Balter.

But a few years ago, his "why" changed.

"Then a few months later, Connor decided to come down as a type one person with diabetes," said Stu.

Suddenly the annual event held much more meaning. The father-son duo from West Sand Lake will be riding side-by-side with hundreds others this Sunday at the annual Tour de Cure Capital Region. Stu's son, Connor, says some days he doesn't even think about his diabetes. Other days, it's an absolute burden.

"There are some days where I just can’t keep my blood sugar down, no matter what I do. Changing out my fusion sets, the needles, doesn’t matter what I eat. It just won’t go down. Really frustration’s the best word for it," said Connor.

He says he's grateful to have discovered the diabetes community.

"This is the reason why myself and all of our staff, our volunteers, our sponsors get involved with the tour," said ADA Upstate New York Executive Director Jeff Collins.

"Am I ready? Not yet, but I hope to be," said Connor.

Connor is doing the 10-mile route of the ride. It's his first time participating. The ride itself, he may still be prepping for, but one thing he's certainly ready to do is "I kind of just also want to say thank you to a lot of them. It’s hard for me to say how much this means to me and to us really," said Connor.

Registration will remain open until 4 p.m. Friday. You can also register the day of. The Tour de Cure Capital Region is Sunday at 7 a.m. at Ellms Family Farm in Ballston Spa. Check-in is between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. and all proceeds go to the American Diabetes Association.

Cyclist pedals on for more than a decade to support Tour de Cure fundraiser for diabetes

by Karen Edwards

It was training day last Sunday for Jay Laird, who was preparing for the 2024 Finger Lakes Tour de Cure cycling fundraiser to benefit the American Diabetes Association .

"A good friend of mine and a neighbor, his 6-year-old ended up with diabetes and he asked me to support him as he was doing the Tour de Cure," said Laird.

That was more than a decade ago.

So, why does he keep hitting the pavement year after year?

"Knowing there are so many children living with diabetes, it just pulls at my heartstrings. I want to support them," Laird explained. "I just love it at this point. I love the camaraderie. There are so many good people who've done this. I've met some amazing people."

And it's the people of the Finger Lakes Community that Laird said also makes it worthwhile.

"There's really a sense of community I think in Rochester more than any other community," he said. "It's really philanthropic so people really kind of get some energy for this event in particular."

More than anything, he's happy to lace up to be part of the fight to end a chronic disease that plagues nearly 40 million people in the U.S.

"How do we make or provide those things that they need in order to have a happy and healthier life?" Laird asked. "It's really a two-pronged approach but I'm certainly happy to do my part."

As a longtime rider, Laird had one message for anyone who was still considering getting involved.

"Do it!" he exclaimed. "It's so much fun so it's definitely worth doing. It's a little bit different. Everyone's got their 5K runs and walks. Tour de Cure is a bit different, but it's really so much fun."

The 2024 Tour de Cure is in Canandaigua next Saturday, June 8. If you'd like to donate, sign up to ride or volunteer, CLICK HERE.

Former women’s soccer chief riding tour de france for cure leukaemia.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

Ian McMahon and Geoff Thomas at the Oxford University Hospital Cancer Unit

Ian McMahon, a former commissioner of Women's League Soccer in the United States is taking on the course of the Tour de France to raise money for the Cure Leukaemia.

McMahon did not even own a cycle as recently as January. He fell off within a mile of his first ride on a road bike but four months of intensive training later, he is set to take on the 21 stages of the Tour de France covering 3,492km ahead of the professional riders to raise money for Cure Leukaemia , the official United Kingdom charity partner of the famed French road race.

McMahon's professional soccer career was cut short by injury at the age of 21, something he tells me he has never really come to terms with "Even now, I feel like I'm not over losing my career because I wanted to know how good I could be. At 21, I thought I was going to conquer the world, I didn't have a back-up plan."

Eventually McMahon ended up moving to the United States and working in sports administration. In 2011, he was named as commissioner of the newly-founded Women's League Soccer (WLS), a regional semi-professional league with promotion and relegation. Following the creation of the National Women's Soccer League in 2012, the short-lived WLS transitioned to become an indoor league before folding a year later.

Off the field McMahon's own physical and mental well-being also suffered. His weight increased and fitness deteriorated. In 2018, he had a stent in his heart and in 2019, after years of chronic arthritis, he underwent a knee replacement operation, a surgery which has given him a new lease of life.

"I had 30 years of my knee being stuck in one place," he told me, "and now all of a sudden, I've got a full range of movement, I'm developing quads. It's been the greatest thing that I've done."

Finally, The Internet Found ‘The Backrooms’

This sprawling kauai resort boasts 50 lush acres and a stunning saltwater lagoon, elden ring and starfield offer contrasting takes on the rpg genre.

McMahon is following in the footsteps of his Rochdale team-mate as a youth player, Geoff Thomas. The former Crystal Palace captain and England international was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia a year after retiring from the game in 2002. At the time, he was given just three months to live.

Following a stem cell transplant and treatment from the co-founder of Cure Leukaemia, Professor Charlie Craddock CBE, Thomas eventually entered remission in 2005 but has made it his life's work to ensure no-one has to go through what he had to.

Inspired by Lance Armstrong riding the Tour de France following his own battle with cancer, Thomas began cycling to raise funds for leukaemia research. He has since completed the gruelling course on several occasions. In June 2021, Thomas was awarded the MBE for his efforts in respect of cancer charity fundraising.

[+] the Order of the British Empire (MBE) following an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, in Windsor, on March 15, 2022.

He told me about how he dismissed the warning signs of the disease for too long. "There are symptoms, but they're probably symptoms you ignore as something else. You can have night-sweats, you can have lack of weight, muscle-soreness, you can get bruises. There are lots of different warning signs, I ignored too many. It's like any cancer now, if you grab it early, you've got a better chance."

Thomas was one of only 20% of leukaemia sufferers who are given the opportunity to have a stem-cell transplant. During his treatment he watched many other patients disappear as nothing could be done at the time to save their lives due to a lack of funding.

"There was a massive shortfall in the early part of the century into the clinical translation of the work what was going on. There's millions being invested in the science side, but all of that knowledge was being left in the lab, so it wasn't benefitting patients."

"So we've got a facility now that allows a flow of science to benefit patients. In this country now, we've got about fifteen hospitals that unite together and that gives you a population of patients that you can fast-track trials on. So people are now being offered opportunities that ten or fifteen years ago they wouldn't have been offered. Things are moving forward for sure."

Thomas' former England captain Gary Lineker is also a supporter of Cure Leukaemia. At a fundraising lunch for McMahon in London, the BBC television presenter talked about how his eldest son George was diagnosed with the condition as a baby in 1991. After initally being alerted by a hard bump on his son's head, doctors believed George had a skin condition but further examinations and blood tests revealed a rare forme of leukaemia.

Lineker recalled that "within an hour we were in an ambulance off to Great Ormond Street Hospital where he spent the next seven months, five months of chemo. We were told that he wouldn't live through the night twice."

Due to the fundraising of Thomas, Cure Leukaemia has leveraged £350 million pounds worth of free drugs into the NHS and the condition is now treatable with a single tablet. Lineker admitted that "the truth is, without people independently of government helping, kids like my son would not have had the chance in life that he has. We relied on that money for research and stuff to give them a chance in life." George is now 32.

As McMahon prepares to take on Thomas' baton and ride the Tour de France course, I asked his former team-mate if he had any words of advice for McMahon. "The first time I did it, I was naive, not a clue what was going on." said Thomas. "The second time I did it with a gang of cancer survivors so I was inspired every day. After that it was like 'wow, this is getting a little bit tough now'. We did it it on 2017. I did it in 2022 as well, but didn't finish then, that's why I decided I needed a bit of a rest."

"The biggest thing that stops you doing anything in life is your mind. If you've got a mindset that you are open to suggestion about anything in life and then go at positively, rather than no, for no's sake, then that's where I'm at now. I like to yes a lot more, rather than no, and not let people down."

Recently Thomas and McMahon visited a cancer unit at Oxford University Hospital, a trip that opened McMahon's eyes up to the reasons he is putting his body to the ultimate test. "It made it real, and very personal. When I ride up a hill, I know I'll be struggling but that's what I will take. That will keep me pushing literally every pedal around because at the end of the day, it's just a bike ride. I can get off any time, they don't have that privilege."

Le programme du mercredi 29 mai

C'est parti pour le deuxième tour à Roland-Garros, avec des chocs sur tous les courts !

Journée exceptionnelle à Roland-Garros ! Les spectateurs du jour pourront profiter du choc entre Iga Swiatek et Naomi Osaka, du retour de Corentin Moutet après son exploit contre Nicolas Jarry, mais aussi de la session de soirée entre Richard Gasquet et Jannik Sinner. Reporté d'une journée en raison de la météo capricieuse, le tournoi de double devrait aussi débuter.

Gasquet, la cure de jouvence ?

"Richie" fait face à une montagne. Ce mercredi, sur le court Philippe-Chatrier, il se frotte à Jannik Sinner , numéro 2 mondial. A bientôt 38 ans, Richard Gasquet est toujours en forme, en témoigne sa performance contre Borna Coric dans une ambiance incandescente dimanche. Après Gaël Monfils, lundi, le Biterrois va à son tour tenter d'enflammer la session de soirée (pas avant 20h15).

Mais l'affiche du jour se trouve dans le tableau féminin ! Match de gala pour le deuxième tour sur le court Central, en dernière rotation de la session journée. Quatre sacres en Grand Chelem de part et d'autre : Iga Swiatek, tenante du titre , rencontre Naomi Osaka. Absente en 2023 pour cause de maternité, la Japonaise effectue son grand retour sur la terre battue parisienne .

Les stars sur tous les fronts

Sur le court Suzanne-Lenglen, d'autres champions seront aux prises.

A partir de 11 heures, Daniel Altmaier défiera Stefanos Tsitsipas (n°9). Les deux hommes seront suivis de Ons Jabeur (n°8) contre Camila Osorio et la journée se conclura par le match de Coco Gauff (n°3) et Tamara Zidansek.

Les Serres du Simonne-Mathieu vont de nouveau trembler, ce mercredi. Corentin Moutet veut prolonger le plaisir après sa victoire dantesque face à Nicolas Jarry . Avec l'appui du public, il croisera le fer avec le Kazakhstanais Alexander Shevchenko en fin d'après-midi.

Le spectacle sera aussi sur les courts annexes. L'expérimenté Stan Wawrinka (39 ans) va tenter d'enchaîner après sa victoire face à Andy Murray . Il sera opposé à Pavel Kotov pour la dernière rencontre sur le court 14 (pas avant 17h). Et pour entamer la journée sur le 7, il y aura un choc des générations entre Ben Shelton (21 ans) et Kei Nishikori (34 ans), finaliste de l'US Open 2014.

Après la pluie, le double commence

Cette fois, c'est la bonne ! Reporté à cause de la pluie, mardi, le tournoi de double va pouvoir débuter. En dernière rotation sur le court 9, il y aura un étonnant duel "franco-français" entre la paire Droguet/Mpetshi Perricard et Barrère/Pouille. Adrian Mannarino et Fabrice Martin tenteront de déstabiliser le duo numéro 1 mondial, Granollers/Zeballos.

Pour ceux qui ont manqué les adieux d'Alizé Cornet au court Philippe-Chatrier , ils pourront profiter de sa rencontre aux côtés de Fiona Ferro face à Arantxa Rus et Anna Blinkova sur le court 2 en troisième rotation.
