Back in October, The Cure hinted at what they’d called “The Show of a Lost World film.” Now, full details have emerged as the iconic rockers have announced yet another project in continued support of last year’s Songs of a Lost World.
Due in select cinemas worldwide on Thursday, December 11th, The Cure: The Show Of A Lost World is a 4K, remixed and re-cut film chronicling the band’s full November 1st, 2024 performance at London’s Troxy. (It was not only the album’s release day, but the band’s first and only show at the storied venue.) The film was directed by Nick Wickham (who previously worked with Rihanna, Madonna, and The Big 4), and mixed by The Cure Robert Smith himself. It follows another Songs release from this past April, Songs of a Lost World Remixed.
The full performance spans 31 tracks, including the entirety of Songs of a Lost World, as well as a five-song set commemorating the 45th anniversary of Seventeen Seconds. Other standout tracks include “A Night Like This,” “From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea,” “Disintegration,” “Play for Today,” and “The Walk.” Following the cinematic event, the film will be released on Blu-Ray and DVD in late December 2025.
“The Cure’s impact cannot be underestimated and this film is a testament to the artistry and depth of their music,” said Trafalgar Releasing CEO Marc Allenby, who are handling the home release. “It’s a pleasure to bring The Show of a Lost World to cinemas globally and give fans everywhere the opportunity to experience together this extraordinary concert on the big screen.”
Tickets for The Cure: The Show Of A Lost World go on sale November 20th at 10 a.m. EST; for more info, visit thecurelostworld.com. Check out the full setlist below.
If you’d like to see The Cure live and in person, they’ll be on tour in the UK and Europe next summer. In addition to October’s tease regarding the film, the band recently confirmed work on their 15th studio album. Stay tuned for more.
