Leeds welcomed undisputable music royalty when The Cure visited the city’s arena and their subjects were treated to something rather special.
Back in our city for the first time since a Leeds Festival headline slot in 2012 Robert Smith’s band performed a 27-song set spanning the alternative group’s decades of success. The Cure are different things to many people. Unapologetically goth, indie dancerfloor fillers to mere rock gods.
Whichever camp members of the audience at Tuesday’s Leeds First Direct Arena gig found themselves in they were more than catered for. From the moment Smith, 63, stepped foot on stage, at the Leeds city centre venue, there was an ongoing theme of the theatrical.
