A new concert film from the Cure will hit theaters internationally on December 11. Directed by British filmmaker and longtime collaborator Nick Wickham, The Show of a Lost World documents the band’s November 2024 performance at London’s Troxy to celebrate the release of Songs of a Lost World. Their 31-song setlist included the only performance of the album in full to date and a 45th anniversary tribute to 1980’s Seventeen Seconds. Frontman Robert Smith handled The Show of a Lost World’s new mix.
Songs of a Lost World marked the Cure’s first studio album in 16 years. The band followed it up with a remix album featuring contributions from Four Tet, Mogwai, and Deftones frontman Chino Moreno, among others.
