The Cure Tour Continues With More Live Rarities

The Cure had a busy weekend. On Saturday, they headlined Primavera Sound 2026 at Barcelona's Parc del Fòrum and performed some rarities. The following day frontman Robert Smith made a special appearance during bestie Olivia Rodrigo's surprise Primavera set for the debut of their collab "what's wrong with me." To cap off the weekend, yesterday, the Cure closed out the last night of the North Festival in Porto, Portugal.

Last night's set, at Estádio do Bessa, included some of the rarities performed during their Primavera set: Wild Mood Swings' "Mint Car" and "alt-end" from 2004's self-titled. They also played another Wild Mood Swings cut, "Treasure," for the first time since 2013. Their first encore entirely consisted of tracks from 1980's Seventeen Seconds. They chose to open with "In Your House," a track "we haven't played very much at all, ever," Smith said. It was their first time revisiting the track live since 2011.
