The Cure

In October 2013, when The Cure performed “Want” at the ACL Festival in Austin, they were riding high on the wave of their album *4:13 Dream*, released in 2008. This festival appearance marked a vibrant moment in their career, falling right around their extensive touring cycle, which included a slew of shows that highlighted their timeless sound. Fun fact: at this time, The Cure was celebrated not just for their music but also for their iconic live performances, which often turned into emotional journeys for fans. Can you imagine being in that crowd, lost in the ethereal mix of haunting melodies and Robert Smith's distinct vocalizations? The band's ability to blend older classics with newer material showcased their versatility and connection to both long-time fans and newcomers alike. It was a true testament to their enduring legacy in the world of alternative rock.
