The Cure

Ah, The Cure—those pioneers of gothic rock who never seem to fade away, much like their enchanting melodies. So, let’s chat about where they stood in their journey when they graced the Hollywood Bowl stage on May 23, 2023. Just before this lively performance, the band released their album "Songs of a Lost World" in late 2022—a project that marked their first studio effort in over a decade. Talk about a long-awaited return! Imagine the excitement among fans who’ve been craving that signature mix of melancholic soundscapes and introspective lyrics.
