The Cure
It's The Cure. What else do you need to know?
Overview
And just like that, The Cure are 40. What's more surprising is that they haven't been to New Zealand since 2007. This year, Robert Smith and the gang are back on tour and reports coming out of the US are that the performances are not only as far off the wall as it's possible to get, but that they're also thoroughly fantastic.
Sure the hits are there, but it's the emergence of rarer gems that have fans excited. As well as a smattering of new material, the band have mined their back catalogue, blowing the dust off songs like 'Screw', 'The Exploding Boy' and 'Bloodflowers', that haven't been performed live in a couple of decades.
If you're just hanging out for 'Friday I'm in Love' or 'Let's Go to Bed', you're not going to be denied. But with a two-hour run-time and no aversion to encores, The Cure's one-off show in Auckland also promises a glimpse of lesser-known wonders.
