The Cure - A Forest Live Performance at Pinkpop Festival in Netherlands

Venue: Malahide Castle & Gardens Location: Malahide, Dublin, Ireland Date: June 8, 2019

In June 2019, The Cure performed "A Forest" at the Pinkpop Festival, showcasing their enduring legacy in the post-punk and alternative music scene. At this time, the band was actively celebrating their extensive catalog, which includes their influential album "Disintegration," originally released in 1989. While they had not released a new studio album immediately before the festival—following "4:13 Dream" in 2008—they had been touring frequently, engaging audiences with their classic hits and deep cuts. Notably, The Cure has been known for their elaborate live performances, often drawing from their rich discography, which allows them to connect with both loyal fans and new listeners alike. The 2019 Pinkpop performance not only highlighted their timeless sound but also reaffirmed their status as one of the pioneering bands of the genre.
