The Cure celebrated their new album, Songs of a Lost World, with a marathon three-hour record release show at London’s Troxy that was also streamed live online and is available to replay in full below.
The evening began with a full performance of Songs of a Lost World, the band’s newly released first album in 16 years. From there, Robert Smith and co. played a set of classic hits and fan favorites, including tracks like “Plainsong,” “Pictures of You,” Lovesong,” “Fascination Street,” “Just Like Heaven,” and “Disintegration.”
The Cure then treated fans to a surprise five-song mini set of songs from their 1980 sophomore album, Seventeen Seconds, in celebration of its 45th anniversary, before closing the night with an encore that included “Lullaby,” “Friday I’m in Love,” and “Boys Don’t Cry.” All told, The Cure played a total of 31 songs over the course of the three-hour set.
Following a pair of in-studio sessions for BBC Radio, Friday’s concert at the Troxy marked The Cure’s only full performance of 2024. However, the band intends to tour extensively beginning in 2025 through their supposed retirement in 2029.
