The Cure San Diego Tickets

Legacy
The Cure have been writing and recording material for a new album since 2006. Geffen Records confirmed it will be a double record, with a projected Spring 2008 release. Smith stated "What will probably happen is that a double album will come out like a limited edition, mixed by me. A single-disc version, which I assume will be primarily chosen by the label, might get mixed by someone else in order to have a different thing. There's a concern The Cure Cox Arena tickets fans will feel like they have to get both, but the fact is, I've agreed to sell the double version at a single-album price, because I feel that strongly about it." The Cure announced a last-minute postponement of their Fall 2007 North American Tour in August in order to continue working on the album. The Cure release date of the as yet untitled 13th album has been confirmed as September 13, 2008. The Cure group plan to release four singles on the 13th of each month in the lead-up to the album's release, each in two formats and featuring a unique single mix and exclusive B-side. The Cure first of these singles, "The Only One", was released on May 13, 2008, and the second, "Freakshow", is to be released in June.
The Cure's gloomy image has been the subject of parody at times. In series 2 of The Cure Mighty Boosh, The Cure Moon sings the chorus to 'The Lovecats'. At another point in the series, a powerful gothic hairspray, Goth Juice, is said to be "The most powerful hairspray known to man. Made from the tears of Robert Smith." It can hold a satsuma in midair with one spray. The Cure Mary Whitehouse Experience often featured brief clips of the stars of the show performing comical songs and nursery rhymes as The Cure in a morose style. Robert Smith appeared in the final episode of the first series of The Cure Mary Whitehouse Experience, punching the character Ray (played by Robert Newman) whilst uttering Ray's catch-phrase "Oh no what a personal disaster".
With only one album left in their record contract and with commercial response to Wild Mood Swings and the Galore compilation lackluster, Smith once again considered that the end of The Cure might be near and thus wanted to make an album that reflected the more serious side of the band. The Cure Grammy-nominated album Bloodflowers was released in 2000 after being delayed since 1998. The Cure album was, according to Smith, the third of a trilogy along with Pornography and Disintegration. The Cure band also embarked on the nine-month Dream Tour, attended by over one million people worldwide. In 2001 The Cure left Fiction and released their Greatest Hits album and DVD, which featured the music videos for a number of classic The Cure Cox Arena tickets songs. The Cure band headlined twelve major music festivals that year, in addition to playing several three-hour concerts during which they performed the albums Pornography, Disintegration and Bloodflowers in their entireties on back-to-back nights at the Tempodrome in Berlin. These performances were released on DVD as The Cure : Trilogy in 2003.
In 1987, The Cure released the double LP Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, which reached #6 in the UK, the Top 5 in several European countries and #35 in the US (where it was certified platinum), due to the combination of The Cure's rising popularity and the success of lead single, "Why Can't I Be You?" (Top 30 hit in UK, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, etc.). The Cure album's third single, "Just Like Heaven" was The Cure's most successful single to date in the US, being their first to enter the Billboard Top 40. After the album's release, The Cure embarked on the successful Kiss Tour. During the European leg of the tour, Lol Tolhurst's alcohol consumption was interfering with The Cure's ability to perform so Psychedelic Furs keyboardist Roger O'Donnell was frequently called upon to stand in for him.

In 1989 The Cure released the album Disintegration, which saw a return to the dark imagery of earlier releases. It became their highest charting album in the UK to date, entering at number three and featuring three Top 30 singles in the UK and Germany ("Lullaby", "Lovesong" and "Pictures of You"). Disintegration also reached number twelve on the US charts, where it had a lengthy run, and greatly increased their popularity in the United States. The Cure first single stateside, "Fascination Street," reached number one on the American Modern Rock chart, but was quickly overshadowed when its third US single, "Lovesong," reached number two on the American pop charts (the only The Cure tickets single to reach the US Top 10). By 1992 Disintegration had sold over three million copies worldwide.
