One fan told nme.com that the band played a set consisting mainly of material from their latest album ‘Bloodflowers’, and the incident at the show passed “largely unnoticed”. He added the mood of the concert was “gloomy” throughout.

The Cure are currently in the middle of their ‘Dream Tour 2000’, which is due to return to the UK when the band play London Wembley Arena on April 22. They released their 13th studio album, ‘Bloodflowers’, on Valentines Day this year through Polydor.
