Win tickets to see The Cure at The Royal Albert Hall


 
WIN TICKETS TO SEE THE CURE LIVE AT
THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL!
We are running an amazing competition to win a pair of tickets to the sold out Reflections show at the Royal Albert Hall on Tuesday November 15th, but be quick as it ends midday on Thursday 10th November.
This is the only UK date announced on their Reflections Tour and a final chance to see them play the first three albums live in their entirety. From the punchy, offbeat, starkly unadorned songs of Three Imaginary Boys (1979), through the increasingly shadowy and quixotic pieces of Seventeen Seconds (1980), to the singular melancholic grandeur of Faith (1981), this will be a truly extraordinary concert experience not to be missed!

 
THE CURE CLASSIC ALBUM SELECTION
We are proud to announce the release of The Cure Classic Album Selection on 5th December. This 5CD box set includes mini-LPs housed in an attractive slipcase and provides the perfect album anthology of The Cure's career spanning the classic period 1979-1984; and includes:
1. THREE IMAGINARY BOYS
2. SEVENTEEN SECONDS
3. FAITH
4. PORNOGRAPHY
5. THE TOP
The first three of these albums will be performed by The Cure in their entirety on the Reflections Tour.


THE CURE ON SPOTIFY
You can listen to The Cure's first three albums on Spotify here:
