After a long time, legendary band The Cure is finally going on European tour and they confirmed thirty concerts in seventeen countries. Budapest is also on this limited list where Robert Smith's band will be performing on October 27. The Cure are an English rock band formed in 1976. They've experienced a lot of line-up and style changes durig fourty years of career. In the late 70's with the album Three Imaginary Boys, they were placed in the frameworks of post-punk and new wave movements. In the early 80's their music went in the darker direction and became a backbone of gothic rock music.The band's future was uncertain after the album Pornography (1982). So the same year the single Let's Go To Bed, with a sensibility of pop parts, was also recorded. Their popularity increased as the decade wore off with songs like Just Like Heaven, Lovesong, Boys Don't Cry, The Love Cats, Friday I'm in Love or Lullaby. The band is estimated to has sold thirty million albums and has released thirteen studio albums, ten EPs and over thirty singles. During this year's world tour they performed festivals like Roskilde, Werchter, Reading & Leeds, Pinkpop, Hurricane & Southside, Paleo, Vieilles Charrues, BBK, Belfort, Optimus Alive!, Primavera, Frequency, Electric Picnic and Bestival where everyone was amazed. So don't miss out on that spectacle!
