It’s a busy time for Robert Smith and The Cure right now; a Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame induction, the four-show stay in Sydney to remember their 1989 album Disintegration, a brand new studio album in the works and a summer which is set to take them to many festivals around the world.
Before all this, it was their 40th anniversary which was marked at the 2018 British Summer Time festival, and it’s this which will be the subject of the band’s next release.
The Cure: Anniversary 1978-2018 concert film has been scheduled to hit cinemas on July 11th, Robert Smith remembering that the gig ‘really was the perfect way to celebrate 40 years of the band’. “It was a fabulous day none of us will ever forget,” he continues.
“If you’d asked me in the rocket what I’d be doing in 40 years, I would have got the answer very wrong, but it’s thanks to everyone around me, and to you all as well that I’m still here.”
