It’s hard to imagine modern music without The Cure, harder still to sum them up in a few lines. For almost five decades, the band steered by Robert Smith have carved out a singular body of work, suspended somewhere between aching melancholy, gothic romance and era-defining anthems. Boys Don’t Cry, Just Like Heaven, Friday I’m In Love, their songs have soundtracked generations, seeped into the DNA of pop culture and scored both our grand passions and our loneliest after-hours. Their latest release, Songs of a Lost World, is a Grammy winning masterpiece. With Paléo, it’s a long-running love affair: for the fifth time, The Cure return to a crowd that awaits them like a first love you never quite recover from. You could almost believe Lovesong was penned with Paléo in mind. Once again, their live show promises the unforgettable: a fleeting glimpse of eternity.
