The Cure close Isle Of Wight Festival 2026. The setlist doesn’t dip too deeply into Songs Of A Lost World - only adding the glacial sweep of Endsong to round off the main set - but a number of Cure classics are present and correct, including Pictures Of You, Lovesong, In Between Days and Just Like Heaven. The epic post-punk anthem A Forest hit hard as a beautiful sunset falls over Seaclose Park.

This archive collection of The Cure's performances on the BBC goes from the early days with A Forest through to hits like Lovecats, Friday I'm In Love, Close To Me and Boys Don't Cry, demonstrating why, in Britain and overseas, they enjoyed – or pretended not to enjoy – such huge success.
