The Cure

In September 2023, when The Cure performed at Riot Fest in Chicago, they were riding high from the release of their latest album, "Songs of a Lost World," which came out just a month earlier. This marked their first studio album in more than a decade, and fans were over the moon to hear fresh material. The live setting at Douglass Park brought an electric atmosphere, with the audience eagerly anticipating both classic hits and new tunes from the album. It was a real celebration—a kind of reunion not just with the band but with the shared experiences of their dedicated fanbase. Interestingly, Robert Smith and the band made headlines for their commitment to the fans, going the extra mile to ensure ticket prices remained accessible, which speaks volumes about their relationship with their supporters. Performing "A Night Like This" live resonated deeply with the vibe of their recent musical explorations, weaving nostalgia with newfound creativity.
