The Cure

At the Exit Festival in Novi Sad on July 5, 2019, The Cure brought their iconic sound to life with a vibrant performance of “Close to Me.” This particular moment came right on the heels of their 2019 tour, which celebrated their extensive catalog, including their 2008 album *4:13 Dream*. Interestingly, *4:13 Dream* was notable for its darker tones and moody lyrics, characteristic of the band’s early gothic rock vibes—think of it as a stylistic bridge that sets the stage for their live sound. By the time they were performing in Serbia, The Cure was already a legendary presence in the music world, blending wistfulness and euphoria with their trademark aesthetic. Robert Smith's signature voice and the band's ability to connect emotionally with audiences was undeniable, making the Exit Festival a highlight for both newcomers and lifelong fans. You could feel the energy, a testament to The Cure's lasting impact.
