THE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED!

LONDON, January 28th, 2013.The Cure, one of the worlds’ most enduringly influential bands, at last returns to Latin America!
This iconic group, lead by singer and guitarist Robert Smith, has had an extraordinary career spanning more than 35 years and tens of millions of sales. With a profusion of hit singles – including ‘Boys Don’t Cry’, ‘The Lovecats’, ‘Close To Me’, ‘Just Like Heaven’ and ‘Friday I’m In Love’ – and a range of classic albums – including ‘Pornography, ‘Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me’, ‘Disintegration’, ‘Wish’ and ‘Bloodflowers’ – the group has long been established as a global phenomenon.
