The Cure kick off world tour, debut 2 new songs

The Cure's 2016 world tour has finally kicked off, with the band debuting two brand new songs live, Gigwise reveals.

Robert Smith and co have begun their huge run of shows in the US, and at their May 10 gig in New Orleans they premiered two brand new songs - 'Step Into The Light's and 'It Can Never Be The Same'. Both of which are dripping with the pure, sombre, cinematic essence of The Cure, hinting back towards the Disintegration era, Gigwise said.

This was all part of a mammoth, career-spanning 38 song set, that featured four encores and classics mixed up with fan favourites, such as 'In Between Days', 'Just Like Heaven', 'Lovesong', 'One Hundred Years', 'A Forest' and many more.
