The Glastonbury headliners filmed the career-spanning show in London last summer and it will be shown in cinemas around the world on Thursday, July 11.

The Cure’s Robert Smith said: “This really was the perfect way to celebrate 40 years of the band. It was a fabulous day none of us will ever forget.”

The film is directed by the band’s long-time visual collaborator, Tim Pope, who is responsible for most of the band’s iconic videos and their award-winning 1986 film, In

Orange.

The performance he captured is described as one of the most memorable concerts of the alt-rock band’s career, spanning 29 songs, including Pictures of You, Lovesong, Friday I’m in Love, Close to Me and Boys Don’t Cry.

Tim said: “Never has Robert sung so well, nor has The Cure played more passionately, more tightly, more powerfully.”
