The Cure - all things big, small, and sticky sweet

As The Cure prepare to release their upcoming album, Songs of a Lost World, they have unveiled plans to livestream an intimate London show which will see the LP performed in its entirety.⁠
⁠
The long-awaited record is set for release on November 1st, and on the same day, The Cure will perform Songs of a Lost World in full at The Troxy in London. The venue has a capacity of 3,000, which makes it one of the smallest shows that The Cure, who are used to headlining arenas and stadiums, have played in many years.⁠
⁠
Tickets for the show are expected to sell-out immediately. To be in with a chance of securing access to their performance at The Troxy, fans of The Cure must pre-order a copy of Songs of a Lost World before 11:59pm on October 16th. Anyone who had already pre-ordered the album prior to the announcement is already in contention for tickets. The official sale is set to take place at 3pm on October 17th.⁠
⁠
Fortunately, for the many that will be unsuccessful in their attempts to secure tickets or live outside of London, The Cure are also planning on live-streaming the concert on YouTube for free.⁠
⁠
The latest live announcement from The Cure arrives a week after they previously shared plans to perform two special shows for BBC 6 Music and BBC Radio 2 later this month.⁠
⁠
The Cure’s set for BBC 6 Music will be broadcast on October 31st and also promises to include special interview with the band on The Huw Stephens Show. Furthermore, they will also record a set for BBC Radio 2 on October 30th in-front of a small audience which will be broadcast on the station on Jo Whiley’s programme the following day.⁠
⁠
In a statement, Smith told the BBC of the upcoming shows: “It’s not often we perform such intimate shows, so we’re really looking forward to this, and to sharing more tracks from the new album for the first time.”

The Cure's Robert Smith speaks out on dynamic ticket pricing controversy: 'It's a scam...'

Robert Smith thinks dynamic ticket pricing is just a way to "scam" fans as he claims that modern performances have just become all about "branding and sponsorship" above all else.

He told The Sunday Times: "I was shocked by how much profit is made.

"I thought, ‘We don’t need to make all this money.’ My fights with the label have all been about how we can price things lower. The only reason you’d charge more for a gig is if you were worried that it was the last time you would be able to sell a T-shirt.

"But if you had the self-belief that you’re still going to be here in a year’s time, you’d want the show to be great so people come back. You don’t want to charge as much as the market will let you. If people save on the tickets, they buy beer or merch. There is goodwill, they will come back next time. It is a self-fulfilling good vibe and I don’t understand why more people don’t do it.
