Robert Smith revealed in a BBC Radio 6 Music interview that The Cure has completed two albums following 2024’s Songs Of A Lost World, with the second record ready for delivery to Universal. The immediate follow-up is darker and more melancholic than its predecessor while maintaining emotional continuity, while a third album in progress is described as upbeat and poppy by Cure standards. Meanwhile, Eden Gallup, son of bassist Simon Gallup, has joined the live lineup replacing late guitarist Perry Bamonte, who passed away in December at 65. Eden previously filled in at festivals in 2019. Recent festival performances including Primavera Sound in Barcelona have featured extended setlists with deep cuts, reviving tracks like “2 Late,” “Wrong Number,” and “Mint Car” not played in years, demonstrating the band’s continued creative engagement with their catalog.
