Following a 27 year absence from the Scottish live scene, the band’s return is definitely one not to be missed!
Glasgow’s very own Mogwai will support The Cure for their Glasgow Summer Sessions date on 16th August, marking the four piece’s return to their home city after their impressive show at The SSE Hydro in 2017. Fellow Scots The Twilight Sad, who have previously supported The Cure and even been named one of Robert Smith’s all time favourite bands, are also announced. Their fifth upcoming studio album is due in January 2019, meaning Glasgow crowd can expect exciting new music from the ever-evolving band who are currently touring the USA to great acclaim. Welsh alt-rockers The Joy Formidable, who just last month release new album AAARTH will open the show on 16th August and their set is also a must see.
