The Cure — Rock en Seine, 2026

Published on October 12, 2026 by

Live footage of The Cure headlining the Rock en Seine festival on 30 August 2026 at the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud near Paris. It was the British band’s first show of 2026 and their return to France after a seven-year absence. Robert Smith and company deliver a near three-hour full concert spanning their entire career: early post-punk anthems (A Forest, Play for Today), luminous pop classics (In Between Days, Just Like Heaven, Friday I’m in Love) and darker material from Bloodflowers and Disintegration. This filmed live concert captures the longevity of one of new wave’s most influential acts, driven by a seasoned lineup built around Simon Gallup on bass and Jason Cooper on drums. For fans of live rock and full-length concert captures, this performance at the close of the Parisian summer is a standout entry in the catalogue, blending melancholy and euphoria across more than two dozen songs.
