The Cure esineb suvel TallinnasLegendaarne Briti bänd The Cure jõuab sel suvel esmakordselt Eestisse. Kontsert toimub 9. augustil Tallinnas, Unibet Arena Kvartalis. Piletid on müügil Piletilevis.
The Cure on üks tunnustatumaid ja pikemalt tegutsenud bände kaasaegse muusika ajaloos. Alates 1978. aastast, mil bänd tegutsemist alustas, on nad välja andnud hulgaliselt kriitikute ja fännide poolehoidu pälvinud albumeid ning nende pea viis aastakümmet kestnud karjääri mõju on endiselt tuntav nii fännide kui paljude teiste artistide seas üle mitme põlvkonna.
Inglismaal Crawleys alguse saanud ning ikoonilise solisti Robert Smithi juhitud The Cure on peaaegu 50 aastat kujundanud alternatiivmuusika, post-pungi ja gootiroki kõla ning olemust. Nende debüütalbum „Three Imaginary Boys“ ilmus aastal 1979 ning paigutas bändi post-pungi ja new wave’i kategooriasse. Bänd on tuntud oma atmosfääriliste helimaastike, emotsionaalse sügavuse ja võimsate live-esinemiste poolest. Ülemaailmse fännibaasi jaoks on ajatuteks klassikuteks saanud albumid „Disintegration“ (1989), „Wish“ (1992) ja „Bloodflowers“ (2000).
Bändi värskeim stuudioalbum „Songs of a Lost World“, mis ilmus 2024. aastal, oli üle 16 aasta esimene uus reliis ning sai väga sooja vastuvõtu osaliseks. Album pakatab bändile omasest melanhoolsest intensiivsusest ning käsitleb kaotuse, surelikkuse ning enesesse vaatamise teemasid ja kinnistab taas The Cure’i positsiooni alternatiivmuusika absoluutses tipus. Album tõi bändile ka karjääri esimesed Grammy auhinnad parima alternatiivmuusika albumi kategoorias ning parima alternatiivmuusika (loo „Alone“) esituse eest. Lisaks Grammydele on The Cure olnud võidukas ka teiste mainekate muusikaauhindade jagamisel – nii on neil olemas näiteks Briti muusikaauhind, MTV videoauhind, Ivor Novello auhind ja mitmed teised.
Bänd on välja andnud 14 stuudioalbumit, mitmeid live- ja kogumikalbumeid ning üle 40 singli, müües kokku rohkem kui 30 miljonit plaati. Samuti on nad loonud mitmeid kontsertfilme ning filmide helitaustu. Pole saladus, et Robert Smithi stiil oli inspiratsiooniks Tim Burtonile ühe oma kuulsaima tegelaskuju Edward Käärkäe loomisel. Smith ja Burton on veel kahe filmi juures muusikalist koostööd teinud.
Kõik need auhinnad ning saavutused tähistavad nii The Cure’i pikaaegset tegutsemist kui ka jätkuvat loomingulist relevantsust ka aastakümneid peale tegevuse alustamist. 9. augustil toimuval Tallinna kontserdil võime oodata lugusid karjääri erinevatest etappidest ning nautida oma silma ja kõrvaga The Cure’i suurepärast ja lummavat etteastet.

The Cure to play Estonia for very first time
For the very first time the legendary British band The Cure is set to make a long-awaited live performance in Estonia. The show will take place on August 9 in Tallinn, Unibet Arena Quarter. Tickets are on sale at Piletilevi.
The Cure is one of the most celebrated and enduring bands in contemporary music history. Since their formation in 1978, they have released a series of critically acclaimed albums and become synonymous with innovation in alternative and gothic rock. With a career spanning nearly five decades, their influence continues to resonate across generations of artists and fans alike.
Formed in Crawley, England, and led by iconic frontman Robert Smith, The Cure have spent almost five decades shaping the sound and spirit of alternative, post-punk, and gothic rock. The debut album "Three Imaginary Boys" was released in 1979, and was well-received by critics, categorizing the band in the post-punk and the new wave. Renowned for their atmospheric soundscapes, emotional depth, and enduring live performances, the band has built a global following with timeless releases such as “Disintegration”, “Wish”, and “Bloodflowers”.
Their latest studio album, “Songs of a Lost World”, released in 2024, marked their first new material in 16 years and was met with widespread critical acclaim. The record showcases the band’s signature melancholic intensity while exploring themes of loss, mortality, and reflection, reaffirming their place at the forefront of alternative music. At the 2026 Grammy Awards, The Cure won their first-ever Grammy Awards after a 50-year career, taking home Best Alternative Music Album for Songs of a Lost World and Best Alternative Music Performance for the song "Alone".
During their career, The Cure have released 14 studio, several live and compilation albums, plus more than 40 singles, selling more than 30 million records in total. They have played almost 2,000 concerts individually or at festivals. Also they have several concert films on their account, as well as some soundtracks. It's no secret that Robert Smith's style was borrowed for one of the most iconic films of director Tim Burton, “Edward Scissorhands”. Following the release of the film Smith collaborated musically with Burton on two other films.
The Cure has received a number of prestigious musical awards, including Grammys, the Brit Award, the MTV Music Video Award, the Ivor Novello Award and more. In 2019, The Cure were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
These accolades mark a defining chapter for the band, underscoring both their longevity and continued artistic relevance decades after their formation.
The upcoming concert promises to deliver an expansive setlist spanning the band’s illustrious catalog. Known for their immersive live shows, The Cure continue to captivate audiences worldwide with performances that blend nostalgia and emotional intensity.
