The Cure

In August 2012, The Cure took the stage at the Reading Festival, a performance that highlighted their enduring presence in the rock scene. Before this electrifying live recording, the band had released their album "4:13 Dream" in late 2008, which returned them to their moody, atmospheric roots while still experimenting with newer sounds. Interestingly, “4:13 Dream” was originally intended to be a double album, yet the band creatively condensed it down, showcasing their knack for crafting evocative melodies and haunting lyrics. At the Reading Festival, their setlist included classics like "Lovesong" and "Just Like Heaven," both fan favorites that brought an undeniable energy to the stage. This performance wasn't just about reliving their rich catalogue; it marked a reaffirmation of The Cure’s status as one of the most influential bands in alternative rock, captivating audiences both old and new with their darkly romantic soundscapes.
