The Cure kicked off their new UK tour with a show in Cardiff and presented a repertoire full of classics that cover different phases of the band's career. During the performance, Robert Smith and his companions combined historic hits with songs from more recent albums, offering fans an overview of the trajectory built over more than four decades. Among the songs performed were classics such as "Pictures of You", "Lovesong", "A Forest", "Just Like Heaven", "In Between Days", "Fascination Street", "Friday I'm in Love", "Close to Me", "Burn" and "Boys Don't Cry". The group also included more recent tracks and less frequent songs in their repertoire, pleasing both those who have followed the band since the 1980s and younger fans. The opening in Cardiff was marked by elaborate visual production, characteristic lighting and the melancholic atmosphere that transformed The Cure into one of the biggest names in alternative rock. Robert Smith displayed good humor throughout the performance and thanked the Welsh audience several times for their warm welcome. The new tour is part of the sequence of performances that the band has been carrying out following the enormous success of their international shows in recent years, reinforcing the group's impressive longevity. Even after more than 45 years of career, The Cure continues to fill arenas and show that their repertoire remains current for different generations of fans. **Setlist presented in Cardiff:** - Plainsong - Pictures of You - Closedown - Lovesong - A Night Like This -Kyoto Song - Charlotte Sometimes - Push - In Between Days - Just Like Heaven - From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea - Burn - Fascination Street - The Forest -Lullaby - The Walk - Friday I'm in Love - Close to Me - Why Can't I Be You? - Boys Don't Cry
