The Cure

In November 2012, when The Cure performed live at the Maxidrom Festival in Moscow, they were riding high off the momentum of their 2008 album *4:13 Dream*. This release brought a resurgence of interest in the band, showcasing their iconic blend of post-punk and new wave, while also hinting at a more introspective side with tracks like “The Only One” and “The Perfect Boy.” The concert features a rich setlist that spans their extensive catalog, reminding fans of the band's ability to weave emotional narratives through their music. Interestingly, this performance came during a period when Robert Smith and the band reflected on their legacy, yet they still injected fresh energy into older hits like "Just Like Heaven" and "Lovesong." Their knack for live performances has long been a hallmark, and this gig was no exception, proving that The Cure could still captivate audiences even decades into their influential career.
