The Cure Concert History

Formed in 1978 in West Sussex, England, The Cure emerged as a pioneer in the post-punk and gothic rock movements. Its original members included Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey, and Lol Turhurs. Smith remains the only original member of The Cure. Dempsey left in 1979 followed by Tolfurst ten years later. In 1979, The Cure released its debut album "Three Imaginary Boys." It was followed by the more heavily goth-influenced "Seventeen Seconds" in 1980. The Cure's fourth album, "Pornography" (1982) was the first Top 10 in the UK while its ninth studio album "Wish" (1992) was its first Number One. To date, Cure has released thirteen studio albums with its final, "4:13 Dream," dropping in 2008. Some of The Cure's most popular songs include "Just Like Heaven," "Lovesong," "Pictures of You," and "Friday I'm in Love."

Comments & Reviews:

Oct 30, 2024

Looking at The Cure - their 1980 tour date is wrong ( unless my ticket is !) as I saw them in Derby on May 6th at the Assembly rooms. I still remember it well but curious ( pardon the pun) - it shows Sheffield - I think my ticket is correct , if so , do you need to amend the tour date on this site ? Does anyone else have a Derby or Sheffield old gig ticket to confirm which is correct ? Ta
