The Cure

In 2012, when The Cure took the stage at Pinkpop, they were riding on the wave of their 2008 album, "4:13 Dream." While this album may not have been their breakthrough moment, it still packed punchy tracks that kept fans eager for more. It’s interesting to note that "4:13 Dream" was a sort of reunion for the band after a bit of a hiatus, reaffirming their presence in the music scene. The live recording of "Doing The Unstuck" at Pinkpop not only showcased their classic sound but also illuminated their knack for engaging live performances, connecting the dots between new tracks and cherished favorites. With Robert Smith’s distinct voice soaring through the set, fans could almost feel the weight of nostalgia mixed with the excitement for what was to come next in their journey. And let’s not forget that by the time they hit the stage, they had already cemented themselves as a major influence in the post-punk and gothic rock scenes—an incredible legacy that continues to resonate.
