On this day, 9 Dec 1996, The Cure played Cardiff’s International Arena.
The Cure were formed in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1978. The band members have changed several times, and guitarist, lead vocalist, and songwriter Robert Smith is the only constant member.
The Cardiff concert was a re-arranged date with the band cancelling the earlier 25 May date due to Robert suffering from a pernicious and lingering sinus infection affecting his ears, eyes and throat.
