British rock band The Cure performed a series of high-profile festival appearances in Europe during the summer of 2024.

In late July, the group headlined the Festival de Nîmes in France, performing three consecutive sold-out shows at the Roman arena. The setlist included tracks from their 2024 album, ‘Songs of a Lost World’, and marked the band’s first appearance at the venue in 28 years.

Following the French performances, the band headlined the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, in mid-August. The two-and-a-half-hour set featured a mix of new material and classic hits, with frontman Robert Smith engaging the audience through monologues regarding aging and time.
