A poster advertising The Cure‘s new album has appeared at the Crawley pub where they played their first gig.
 READ MORE: On the cover â Robert Smith on 40 years of The CureThe poster was displayed in a frame at The Railway Inn in the band’s hometown, where the band first performed in 1978. It features the title of their new album, ‘Songs Of A Lost World’.
According to a fan on X/Twitter, who called the pub to ask about it, it was delivered on Thursday (September 12) and has since brought many fans of The Cure to visit. A fan meet-up is apparently planned for later today (September 14).
This week, The Cure sent fans postcards seemingly confirming their new album title and release date. Their long-awaited album, their first in 16 years, will purportedly arrive on November 1.
Earlier this week (September 9), it looked like The Cure were finally teasing a new album, after the band took to their official social media pages, swapping out their previous profile picture for a new one comprised of a different new logo with an all-black background.

A poster has appeared outside The Railway. A pub in Crawley. The English town where The Cure formed! If the band are behind this then it's fitting that they've announced what's said to be their final work in the place where it all began!#TheCure #SongsOfALostWorld #robertsmith pic.twitter.com/d656LqrLvB

Guitarist Reeves Gabrels also shared a link directing fans to the bandâs redesigned website and urged them to sign up for the mailing list. Eden, the son of bassist Simon Gallup (who stood in for his father on a run of 2019 dates), also excited fans by posting the lyrics from new song âAloneâ: “This is the end of every song that we sing⦔
The news comes ahead of the release of the bandâs two new songs as live recordings that will be a double A-side for climate charity Earth Percent.
Released via Naked Record Club â a record label that releases limited edition records on sustainable vinyl â âThe Cure â Novembre: Live in France 2022â is a double A-Side 12â Eco-Vinyl single featuring two live tracks that were recorded during the French leg of the bandâs âShows Of A Lost Worldâ tour.
The first song, âAnd Nothing Is Foreverâ was recorded live in Montpellier at the Sud de France Arena on November 8 2022, while âI Can Never Say Goodbyeâ was recorded live in Toulouse, Zénith, on November 13 2022. These are the first new tracks from The Cure in 16 years.
Back in 2022, The Cure also performed two other new tracks titled âAloneâ and âEndsongâ while kicking off their world tour. All of the unreleased songs are speculated to be featured on the bandâs long-awaited new album, âSongs Of A Lost Worldâ, which would mark their first LP in 16 years, following from 2008âs â4:13 Dreamâ.
In a four-star review of their live performance at Londonâs OVO Arena Wembley during that year, NME noted Smith took the time to promise âthat the new songs âwonât be new for much longer.ââ
The review also described the new tracks, sharing: âThe ticking clock piano rhythms and rolling bass of âA Fragile Thingâ accompany the promise that thereâs ânothing you can do to change the endâ, while âEndsongâ is a stunning, sprawling soundscape to portray Smith utterly lost in a universe where thereâs âNothing left of all I lovedâ.
âThe truly devastating heart of the new material previewed comes with âI Can Never Say Goodbyeâ â where howling guitars match the singerâs fear of âshadows growing closer nowâ as âsomething wicked this way comes, to steal away my brotherâs lifeâ. You feel that these songs are for those who mean the world to him.â
