Fri 3/6 @ 7PM
Last year, the proto-goth post-punk band The Cure, which has revolved around vocalist Robert Smith since its inception in 1978, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It built slowly, breaking out first on college radio in the 80s, and reaching peak popularity came in the late 80s/early 90s, when 1989’s “Lovesong” topped charts around the world, followed by “Never Enough” in 1990, and “High” and “Friday I’m in Love” in 1992.
Last year, the group released the album/DVD Cureation-25: From There to Here/From Here to There, filmed in June 2018 at London’s Royal Albert Hall on the last night of the 25th Meltdown Festival. The concert featured a song from each of their 15 albums performed in chronological order, giving an aural history of the band’s evolution.
The film screens at the Foster Theater as the next entry in the Rock Hall’s spring film series. Admission is $10, or free for Rock Hall members. Concessions will be available for purchase. Reserve tickets here.
