In a cost of living crisis, there are few better live value propositions than The Cure. Turning in a 29-song set for a fraction of the price of many other acts of a similar stature, Crawley’s finest kept fans in the warmth of Wembley’s OVO Arena for almost three hours on Sunday evening, while snow piled up steadily on the streets outside.
Joking aside, a certain artistic generosity has always been The Cure’s calling card. Now in their fifth decade as a live band, the sextet are renowned for sprawling setlists that mutate as their tours progress, thereby guaranteeing punters a unique musical experience at every single gig.
