Bestival Live 2011

Playing a 32-song, two-and-a-half-hour set, The Cure headlined the Isle of Wight-based 'Bestival' event in September 2011 to a rapturous reception. This double-disc recording of the gig features the complete performance and is made up of many of the group's classics, including "Fascination Street", "Lovesong", "Friday I'm in Love", "A Forest", "Lullaby", "Hot Hot Hot!!!", "Why Can't I Be You?", "Boys Don't Cry" and many more.

Rob da Bank, founder of the festival commented: "For any of the 50,000 who were at Bestival and saw all or some of the two and a half hour set, this live album will transport you back. For fans of The Cure who didn't make it I know this will be a legendary addition to your Cure collection!"

Says The Cure's Robert Smith on the reasoning behind the album: "We had such a great time in the Isle of Wight at Bestival that we wanted to release this show as a way of thanking fans and islanders alike." Profits from sales of 'Bestival Live 2011' will be donated to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, a charitable, independent and professional organisation which offers counselling, advice, information and support services to young people aged 25 and under on the Isle of Wight.
