The Cure

In 2007, when The Cure took the stage at the Fuji Rock Festival, they were enjoying a revitalized phase in their extensive career, notably promoting their thirteenth studio album, “4:13 Dream,” which came out in 2008. This live performance, featuring the haunting “Kyoto Song,” was emblematic of their enduring popularity and artistic evolution. Interestingly, just prior to this recording, The Cure had released their compilation album "Galore," showcasing a wealth of hits that had solidified their status in the alternative rock realm. Fans attending Fuji Rock in Yuzawa were treated not just to nostalgic favorites, but also to the band’s unique blend of moody pop and post-punk vibes that made them icons of the genre. The festival’s beautiful outdoor setting seemed to amplify their eclectic sound, creating a memorable experience that resonates with attendees to this day.
