The Cure delivers two‑and‑a‑half‑hour set at Nîmes arena

British band The Cure concluded a three‑night residency at the historic Arena of Nîmes in southern France on July 26 with a 30‑song, two‑and‑a‑half‑hour performance. Front‑man Robert Smith led the group through classics such as “Faith”, “Primary”, “Pictures of You”, “Lovesong” and “Friday I’m in Love”, earning enthusiastic praise from the roughly 12,000 spectators. Fans noted the identical setlist across the three evenings and speculated that the shows may be recorded for a future live album or concert film.

The Nîmes concerts are the final dates of the band’s summer European tour, which will close at Rock en Seine on August 30 after additional shows in Lithuania, England and Scotland.
