The Cure at Pasadena Daydream

watch The Cure's full Pasadena Daydream set

The Cure put on their own festival in California over Labor Day Weekend weekend, Pasadena Daydream, at the Brookside Golf Club in the shadow of the Rose Bowl. (Shadows were welcome on Saturday in Pasadena, where temperature neared triple digits.) While there were also sets from Deftones, Pixies, Mogwai, Throwing Muses, Chelsea Wolfe and more, the main event was The Cure’s headlining set. Among those there to see them: Lady Gaga, who danced from the side of the stage for much of the set and wrote in her instagram stories, “I love the Cure, felt my old self come alive tonight, what a show.”

Some may have been disappointed that Robert Smith and the rest of the band didn’t play Disintegration in full, like they did in Sydney earlier this year, but their set had many from that album (which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year), and was generally jam-packed with hits. The Cure played “Plainsong,” “Pictures of You,” “High,” “Lovesong,” “Fascination Street,” “Push,” “In Between Days,” “Just Like Heaven,” “A Forest,” “Primary,” “The Caterpillar,” “The Walk,” “Friday I’m In Love,” “Close to Me,” “Why Can’t I Be You,” “Boys Don’t Cry” and much more. You can check out the setlist and full fan-shot video of the whole Pasadena Daydream set, below.

The Cure’s only shows on their schedule currently are both weekends of Austin’s ACL Fest in October, as well as a Mexico City show that falls in between.
