Book NowThe Cure are one of the most iconic and influential alternative rock bands of all time. Formed in Crawley, England, in 1978, the group’s ever-evolving sound has shaped the landscape of post-punk, gothic rock, and new wave music. Fronted by the instantly recognisable Robert Smith, whose emotive voice and distinctive style have become synonymous with the band’s identity, The Cure have built a career spanning more than four decades — a journey marked by experimentation, artistry, and timeless anthems. The band’s breakthrough came in the early 1980s with albums like Seventeen Seconds (1980), Faith (1981), and Pornography (1982), which defined their darker sound and cemented their reputation as pioneers of moody, introspective rock. By mid-decade, The Cure expanded their appeal with a more melodic, pop-oriented direction — achieving massive success with hits such as “In Between Days,” “Close to Me,” and “Just Like Heaven.” Their 1989 masterpiece, Disintegration, remains one of the most celebrated albums of its era, featuring enduring tracks like “Lovesong,” “Pictures of You,” and “Lullaby.” Over the years, The Cure’s music has crossed genres and generations. They have sold over 30 million albums worldwide and have been cited as a major influence by artists ranging from The Smashing Pumpkins and Interpol to Paramore and Chvrches. Their ability to blend melancholic beauty with driving rhythm and melody has earned them a unique place in music history. The band’s live performances are renowned for their emotional depth and extended setlists, often running for more than two and a half hours — a testament to both their dedication and their expansive catalogue of songs. The current touring lineup includes Robert Smith (vocals, guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Roger O’Donnell (keyboards), Jason Cooper (drums), Perry Bamonte (guitar), and Reeves Gabrels (guitar). This ensemble continues to deliver powerful performances that celebrate both the band’s past and its ongoing evolution. Fans attending The Cure at Marlay Park can expect a setlist that spans eras — from early post-punk gems to beloved classics and newer material performed with the same passion that has defined The Cure’s legacy. Among the many milestones in their career, The Cure were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019, an honour that celebrated their enduring impact on global music culture. Beyond their awards and chart success, however, The Cure’s true legacy lies in their connection with audiences — the ability to evoke emotion, nostalgia, and unity through songs that explore love, loss, and longing. Their influence extends not only through music but also through fashion and visual identity, with Robert Smith’s signature hair and makeup style becoming one of rock’s most recognisable images. For fans travelling to Marlay Park this summer, the upcoming concert represents more than a show — it’s a moment to reconnect with a band whose music has been the soundtrack to countless lives. Whether you’re discovering The Cure for the first time or reliving decades of devotion, the night promises to be a moving celebration of sound, memory, and art. As Robert Smith once said, “It’s never a dull moment — there’s always something new to discover.” On 26th June 2026, Marlay Park will become that place of rediscovery, echoing with the voices of thousands singing together beneath the Dublin sky.About The Cure – Band Profile & Trivia
