The Cure

In July 2019, The Cure performed at the Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium, a significant event amid their extensive career. This live recording came shortly after the release of their 2019 single "It Can Never Be the Same," which marked their first new material in nearly a decade, hinting at the possibility of a forthcoming album. The performance was part of a summer festival circuit that showcased the band's enduring popularity and influence in the alternative rock scene. Interestingly, this show marked one of the final live performances for founding member and iconic frontman Robert Smith before some of the band’s later commitments, demonstrating their continued relevance and ability to resonate with both long-time fans and newer audiences. The festival performance also underscored their reputation for dynamic live shows, often featuring a blend of classic hits alongside newer material.
