Ain’t no better Cure for the summertime blues

Goth legends The Cure were one highlight of Electric Picnic 2012.

You’d think that. at 53, frontman Robert Smith is far too old to back-comb his hair and wear eyeliner, but part of his charm is that he does so anyway.

Smith led The Cure through a three-hour set that included many of their greatest hits, including The Love Cats, Boys Don’t Cry, and Friday I’m In Love — and a great deal more besides.
