40 LIVE (Curætion-25 + Anniversary) (2019)

In 2018, The Cure performed two historic shows celebrating a 40-year career.

CURÆTION-25: From There To Here | From Here To There

Captured on the tenth and final night of the 25th Meltdown Festival (curated by lead singer Robert Smith) at London’s Royal Festival Hall in June 2018. Smith, Simon Gallup, Jason Cooper, Roger O’Donnell, and Reeves Gabrels performed 2 songs from each of their 13 studio albums, along with 2 previously unreleased songs, charting an evolution of The Cure’s music live on stage.

ANNIVERSARY: 1978-2018 Live In Hyde Park London

The band’s acclaimed 29-song, 135-minute anniversary concert. Filmed in one of London’s Royal Parks to a crowd of 65,000 fans, The Cure presented a four-decade deep set on July 7, 2018, including “Just Like Heaven,” “Lovesong,” “High,” and “The End Of The World.” Adding to the experience, the band is back-dropped by giant screens displaying footage that complements the unique moods and emotive song writing that established The Cure as pioneers of alternative rock.
