The Cure goes back to basics

British band will perform its first three albums in London, Los Angeles and New York.

Early fans of British band The Cure will be pleased to know that the band has just announced they will be taking a trip down Memory Lane by performing their first three albums, in their entirety, for just seven concerts, reports Pitchfork.

The announcement comes the same day (September 27) that the band, which formed in 1976 in Crawley, England, was nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

In May 1979, The Cure launched their debut album, Three Imaginary Boys, which was released the following year in North America with a slightly different song lineup under the title Boys Don’t Cry.

Follow-up albums Seventeen Seconds in 1980 and Faith in 1981 cemented their celebrity status in the emerging alt rock scene.

Now 30 years later, The Cure will play these albums in their entirety for the Reflections tour, with seven performances in total, at the Royal Albert Hall in London on November 15; the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles on November 21, 22 and 23; and the Beacon Theatre in New York on November 25, 26, and 27.
