The Cure: Rock Band in New York

About The Cure

The Cure is an English rock group that emerged in the late 1970s, founded by Robert Smith and Lol Tolhurst and shaped through decades of shifting lineups. Their catalog moves through new wave, post‑punk, gothic rock, and darkwave, with Smith’s voice and guitar as the constant thread alongside longtime collaborators such as Simon Gallup. On New York City bills like Sony Hall, their music is often reframed in tribute settings, including pairings with acts tied to The Smiths’ legacy. The band’s work favors atmosphere and melody over flash.
