Robert Smith and co. will take to the stage to close out the first day of the upcoming event, and it will be their only Norwegian show of the year. It also marks their first time back at Øya in seven years.
. (NME Reports)
Last year saw the alt-rock icons release the acclaimed and emotionally-packed ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ – the long-mooted first album from the band in 16 years. Back in 2020, Smith told NME that the band were hard at work on “two new albums and an hour of noise”.
The frontman has since confirmed that a “companion piece” album is “ready to go” (and will hopefully be complete and released before a yet-to-be-announced 2025 world tour), with the band also still at work on another record of “completely random stuff“.
With anticipation high for the new records and details of the tour, The Cure have this week been teasing fans with an announcement – but have now used Smith’s 66th birthday to share details of ‘Mixes Of A Lost World’, featuring 24 reworked tracks from their last album, to be released on June 13 to benefit the charity War Child.
The double LP/CD/cassette edition features the ‘Remixers’ tracks only and comes as a black vinyl double LP with a gatefold sleeve; a double CD in six-panel digisleeve includes foldout CD poster; the limited edition double cassette has individually printed o-cards and obi-strip is also exclusive to The Cure store.
