According to Billboard ------
After a 16 year wait for a new album, The Cure are getting a little prolific.
The veteran post punk outfit have today (Dec. 1) announced the release of a new live album, recorded during their recent London performance.
Fittingly-titled Songs of a Live World: Troxy London MMXXIV and recorded at the titular venue on Nov. 1, the album captures “a very special night” which served as the launch of their first album in 16 years, Songs of a Lost World.
The show itself was livestreamed to YouTube, with the band performing the entire eight-song album in full on the day of its release. Additionally, the set also featured 23 more songs from their illustrious career, including a five-song suite of tracks from their second record, 1980’s Seventeen Seconds.
While the full show will remain available to stream on YouTube, the Robert Smith-mixed audio will be releleased on vinyl, CD, and cassette in early 2025. Pre-orders for the record have been made available now, with all profits to be donated to U.K. charity War Child.
