The Cure

In 2012, when The Cure graced the stage at the Bilbao BBK Live festival on July 12, they were riding high on decades of influence and artistry. Just prior to this live performance, they had released their album "4:13 Dream" in 2008, which showcased their signature sound blending post-punk with lush, melodic tunes. This release, while a bit quieter in terms of media buzz compared to their earlier work, solidified their reputation as enduring innovators in the music scene. The setlist for the Bilbao show featured classics like "Friday I’m in Love," "Boys Don’t Cry," and "Just Like Heaven," which are some of their most beloved tracks. It's interesting to note that while the band has explored varied musical landscapes, their live performances, particularly in festivals like this one, are a nostalgic return to their roots. And who could forget the colorful blend of emotions they bring to their concerts? Each song feels like a journey through the highs and lows of life, inviting fans to connect on a deeper level. The Cure not only delivers music; they create an experience—one that resonates long after the last chord fades.
