Formed in Crawley, Sussex and playing their first show in 1978, The Cure have performed close to 1,800 gigs to date over a career spanning almost five decades.
They have released 14 studio albums, over 40 singles and have been a profound influence on contemporary music, their legacy cemented in 2019 with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
2025 saw the release of Mixes Of A Lost World, a triple album reimagining the hugely successful 2024 Cure album Songs Of A Lost World. Curated by Robert Smith and featuring contributions from artists such as Orbital, Paul Oakenfold and Four Tet, all Cure royalties benefitted War Child UK.
Three artists will provide support, including Scottish rock pioneers and ‘masters of their craft’, Mogwai, the atmospheric and timeless Slowdive, and one of the most exciting new bands of recent years, Just Mustard.
