The Cure

When The Cure graced the Hollywood Bowl on May 23, 2016, they were riding high on the waves of their earlier work, specifically their thirteenth studio album, “4:13 Dream,” released back in 2008. This album, while a blend of shimmering guitars and haunting lyrics, marked a notable return after a five-year hiatus, showcasing their signature sound that weaves darkness with beauty. During the Hollywood Bowl concert, fans were treated to a compelling mix of classic hits and new material, further solidifying the band's status as post-punk legends. What's particularly fascinating is that this performance came amidst an extensive world tour that celebrated not just the music but also the deep bond The Cure has with their devoted fanbase. The atmosphere at such iconic venues, where the echoes of the past mingle with the present, often makes for unforgettable nights—ones where nostalgia and exhilaration collide, leaving the audience buzzing for days. The Cure continues to capture hearts, reminding us that some bands only get better with time.
