The Cure

Ah, The Cure—what a magnificent journey they’ve been on! Around the time of the live recording in November 2008 at the O2 Arena for the NME Awards Big Gig, they were riding high on the wave of their 2008 studio album, *4:13 Dream*. This album was a fresh entry into their discography, showcasing their signature sound that beautifully blends post-punk and new wave. Interestingly enough, *4:13 Dream* also marked a sort of comeback for the band, as it was their first studio album in four years. The excitement surrounding their live performance in London was palpable, especially since they were known for their immersive and atmospheric shows, which fans always rave about. Participating in the NME Awards highlighted their influence in the music scene, reaffirming their status as pioneers in goth and alternative rock—talk about a legendary moment! Who wouldn't want to be in that crowd, soaking up the energy of one of the genre’s most iconic bands?
