<\/div>\n

This year marked the 30th anniversary of The Cure<\/a>\u2019s landmark 1989 album Disintegration<\/em> and they spent it performing it in full at special concerts around the globe.<\/p>\n

Cameras were rolling when the tour hit Sydney\u2019s Opera House on May 30th and the group has just released three songs from the show \u2014 \u201cPlainsong,\u201d \u201cPictures of You\u201d and \u201c\u201cDisintegration\u201d \u2014 on YouTube.<\/p>\n

A typical show on the Disintegration<\/em> 30th Anniversary tour began with seven B-sides and rare songs from the time period of the album. They then performed all twelve tracks from the album \u2014 including ones like \u201cUntitled\u201d and \u201cHomesick\u201d that they hadn\u2019t touched in well over a decade \u2014 followed by a brief encore of older tunes like \u201cThree Imaginary Boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tour never came to America, although when the group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in April, Robert Smith told Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a> it would probably happen. \u201cIt\u2019s inevitable, I think,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re holding home theaters in New York and Los Angeles. But I kind of feel like we should do it in a bigger venue. I\u2019d like to do a big show with it, really. It\u2019s a bigger album. I think when we did the first three albums we did three nights at the Beacon in New York. It was much more punky. We were trying to recreate that vibe. But I think Disintegration<\/em> is just big. So we need to do somewhere that\u2019s just big. But probably about Christmas time we\u2019ll come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Christmas just weeks away, it\u2019s virtually certain those New York and Los Angeles shows aren\u2019t going to happen. Then again, there\u2019s no reason they couldn\u2019t just do it next year. It\u2019s not like fans won\u2019t buy tickets just because it\u2019s the 31st anniversary. By that time, however, the Cure may have a new album that they want to focus on. They haven\u2019t released new material since 2008, but Smith has said many times they are close to wrapping work on a new release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll finish it before we start in the summer, and it\u2019ll be mixed through the summer,\u201d Smith said in April. \u201cAnd then so release date, I don\u2019t know, October? Halloween! Come on!\u201d<\/p>\n

Halloween 2020 perhaps?<\/p>\n
