"Our five shows at the Sydney Opera House in May 2019 - celebrating the 30th Anniversary of the 1989 album Disintegration - are among the most memorable we have ever played - indeed, our entire Sydney trip was like a wonderful dream... " frontman Robert Smith said.


"I am so happy the final night of the run was captured in such expressive style by our longtime friend and director Nick Wickham - the release of the whole concert can’t be too far away… ”

The Music checked out the opening show of The Cure's five-date run at the Sydney Opera House in May, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of the UK group's classic album, Disintegration, with reviewer Hannah Story saying of the concert, "It’s a privilege to have experienced this show, to have felt the lush songs – especially set highlight Fascination Street – consume the room, bass shuddering up through the floors, like the hungry Spiderman of Lullaby".
