Last July, The Cure celebrated their 40th anniversary as a live band in Hyde Park London. That performance was so hot hot hot, it is coming to theaters around the world on July 11th. This way, even if you were not able to see that memorable performance in person, you can see it from the comfort of a soft cushy chair in an air conditioned movie theater. Which I prefer!
Robert Smith and director Tim Pope, who worked on some of their most iconic music videos, wanted to “create a totally immersive experience for cinema-goers.” They did so by spending hours togther in the editing bay along with recording final tweaks in 5.1 audio at the legendary Abbey Road Studios and incoporating 4K footage. You will feel like you are there without having that fan in front of you holding up their phone to record the concert.
The only problem with 4k is that you will be able to see every knot in the singer’s hair. I wonder if that spider from the Lullaby video is still in there. We might never know. Unless the video is so amazing, you will see it crawling around in his messy locks. Which I get is his signature look.
You can buy tickets for the 2 hours and 17 minute musical event now at Atom. It is must for fans of the band and/or music.
