The Cure tonight announced a second concert at London’s famed Royal Albert Hall this March as part of the 14th annual Teenage Cancer Trust charity concert series “due to phenomenal demand,” saying the band’s first show sold out on pre-sales alone.

The Cure returns to London’s famed Royal Albert Hall in late March for what’s being billed as “an exclusive three-hour show” as part of the 14th annual Teenage Cancer Trust charity concert series, which, this year, also includes Suede, performing Dog Man Star in full to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

The Cure tonight performed what’s been billed as its final show of 2013, a headlining performance at New Orleans Voodoo Music Experience that saw Robert Smith and Co. drop yet another shocker on fans: the first-ever live performance of “Burn,” the band’s contribution to the soundtrack to 1994’s “The Crow.”

With The Cure rumored to be preparing Trilogy/Reflections-like concerts featuring performances of The Top alongside The Head on the Door and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me, we devote this week’s Vintage Video to a long-lost relic of the Top era: the band’s 90-minute “Live in Japan” concert film.

The Cure returned for its second headlining slot at this year’s two-weekend Austin City Limits Music Festival, and this time shook up its standard festival set to inject some of the rarities that Robert Smith and Co. dredged up for shows this past week in Moterrey, Mexico, and El Paso, Texas.

The second weekend of the Austin City Limits Music Festival is underway, and this time, the fest is providing a live webcast of many of the performances, including full sets by both Depeche Mode tonight — the final stop of the current North American leg of the ‘Delta Machine’ tour — and The Cure on Saturday night.

The Cure returned to Mexico last night for the second time this year, and while the band’s set didn’t quite match the epic length of its show on Robert Smith’s birthday in April, it did feature more surprises, including a heavy dose of The Top and the live debut of Head on the Door-era B-side “Stop Dead.”

The Cure continues to sporadically drop new fall tour dates, with the latest being an arena concert booked for the University of Texas at El Paso on Oct. 10 during the week between Robert Smith and Co.’s two headlining appearances at the Austin City Limits Music Festival.

The Cure’s newfound predilection for headlining North American festivals continues as New Orelans’ Voodoo Music + Arts Experience today announced that Robert Smith and Co. will join Pearl Jam and Nine Inch Nails as headliners of the Nov. 1-3 event.

The Cure wrapped up its short “Great Circle Tour” with a headlining performance at the Lollapalzooza festival in Chicago on Sunday night, delivering a 2-hour, 26-song set — and for Robert Smith and Co., that’s a pretty gig — heavy on the band’s more poppy material. Check out the full webcast here.

Can’t make it to Chicago this weekend for Lollapalooza? Don’t worry, you can still see the three-day festival — well part of it, anyway — thanks to weekend-long livestream of the event, which will feature webcasts of performances by The Cure, Nine Inch Nails and more.

The Cure will return to Mexico — site of the band’s epic 4-hour, 50-song performance in an earthquake-rattled stadium on Robert Smith’s birthday this past April — for an arena concert in Monterrey on Oct. 8, the first date to emerge between the band’s headlining slots at the two-weekend Austin City Limits Music Festival.

The Cure next month will warm up for its pair of early August festival dates in North America — the band is playing both Lollapalooza in Chicago and Osheaga Festival Musique et Arts in Montreal the weekend of Aug. 2-4 — with its first-ever Hawaiian concert, a July 30 headlining date in Honolulu.
