<\/div>\n

The Cure<\/a> marked their 40th anniversary in 2018 with a pair of unique shows in London: One where they went through their catalogue chronologically for a small audience of die-hards, and another where they played a lengthy, career-spanning set to a massive crowd in Hyde Park. Both concerts were filmed and will be released this fall as 40 Live \u2013 Cur\u00e6tion-25 + Anniversary<\/em>, a box set that will come in a variety of configurations.<\/p>\n

The former concert, dubbed Cur\u00e6tion-25: From There to Here \/ From Here to There,<\/em> features the band playing a spiraling set list that starts with one of their earliest songs and boasts a song from each album up through their most current release, 2008\u2019s 4:13 Dream<\/em>. The Cure also played a pair of previously unreleased songs and then worked their way backwards to \u201cBoys Don\u2019t Cry.\u201d The performance was part of the 25th annual Meltdown Festival at the Royal Festival Hall last June. The video features HD picture and 5.1 surround sound.<\/p>\n

The Hyde Park show, which Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em> reviewed<\/a> last July, is branded Anniversary: 1978-2018<\/em>. It features the Cure playing 29 songs to a crowd of 65,000 concertgoers. The band\u2019s longtime film collaborator, Tim Pope, who directed several videos as well as the group\u2019s In Orange<\/em> film, helmed the release. The film also screened in movie theaters earlier this year.<\/p>\n

A limited-edition deluxe box set will include either two Blu-Rays or two DVDs along with four CDs and a 40-page book, while a more standard \u201chardbook\u201d edition will contain the same video content and a 16-page booklet. Both concerts will also be available as digital releases. All editions arrive on October 18th.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Rolling Stone<\/em> this year<\/a>, ahead of the Anniversary<\/em> screening, Cure frontman Robert Smith said he was pleased with how it came out. \u201cIt\u2019s actually quite an overwhelming experience,\u201d he said. \u201cI thought that I\u2019d be a bit blas\u00e9, but I was actually quite taken aback with the whole thing. I\u2019m really pleased we did it because it turned into probably one of the best days we\u2019ve ever had through a combination of just great weather and England\u2019s football team was doing remarkably well in the World Cup. And I picked the bill for the whole day at Hyde Park. \u2026 It was just, like, a huge celebration of music.\u201d<\/p>\n
