The Cure

In 2012, when The Cure took the stage at the Bilbao BBK Live festival, they were riding the waves of renewed energy. Just a few years prior, in 2008, they released the album *4:13 Dream*, which highlighted their ever-evolving sound while remaining true to their iconic gothic rock roots. This period marked a time of resurgence for the band, as they began to tour more extensively. The setlist for the Bilbao show was a treasure trove of fan favorites like “Lovesong” and “Just Like Heaven,” showcasing their knack for whisking audience members into a nostalgic trance. Interestingly, their unique blend of post-punk and pop not only garnered them a dedicated following over the decades but also highlighted their ability to connect deeply with fans across generations. Touring in 2012 was a testament to their lasting impact, reminding everyone just how pivotal they remained in both the indie and mainstream music scenes. How incredible is it that decades after their formation, they still had the power to unite people through music?
