The release follows The Cure’s summer tour dates, which have seen them play some of the world’s biggest festivals, including Glastonbury, Rock Werchter, Pinkpop, Exit, Roskilde and Fuji Rock. They play Glasgow Summer Sessions on Friday 16 August and will continue playing in October, when they headline Austin City Limits festival in Texas.
