The Cure: the likely setlist for the Firenze Rocks show

The Cure will close out Firenze Rocks 2026 in one of the most anticipated live shows of the season. The band led by Robert Smith will take the Visarno Arena stage on Sunday, June 14, for the final night of the Florence festival. Coming off a particularly strong period, the British outfit has returned to the spotlight thanks to the success of "Songs Of A Lost World", the album that marked their comeback after sixteen years and that also picked up two Grammy Awards in 2026, winning in the categories dedicated to alternative music.
Opening what promises to be an unmissable day will be Scotland's Mogwai, pioneers of global post-rock. Joining them are The Twilight Sad, among the most intense and beloved bands on the British alternative scene (including in the eyes of Robert Smith, who recently collaborated with them on the album "It's The Long Goodbye", which was also our album of the month), and Ireland's Just Mustard, among the leading names of the new shoegaze scene.

The day's schedule

The official schedule released by the organizers therefore includes three performances before the Cure take the stage:

• 16:15 – 17:00: Just Mustard
• 17:45 – 18:30: The Twilight Sad
• 19:15 – 20:45: Mogwai
• 21:30: The Cure

The setlist

There's also plenty of anticipation around the setlist Robert Smith and co. will bring to the stage. Given that surprises are always part of the deal with the Cure, we're basing this on the setlist played in Nickelsdorf, Austria, at the Blue Stage at Pannonia Fields II, to give you a possible rundown of the Cure's Firenze Rocks show.

The line-up

Of course, variations from previous dates can't be ruled out, but it's likely the Florence show will follow a similar structure, alternating material from the latest album with the classics that have defined the British band's career.
Joining Robert Smith on stage will be bassist Simon Gallup, a cornerstone of the Cure's sound since the eighties, drummer Jason Cooper, who joined the group in 1995, keyboardist Roger O'Donnell, and guitarist Reeves Gabrels, a former collaborator of David Bowie and a permanent member of the band since 2012. During the Primavera Sound show, they were also joined by Eden Gallup, Simon's son, stepping into the role left vacant by the late Perry Bamonte, the band's guitarist and keyboardist, who passed away last December at the age of 65 after a brief illness.

Formed in the late seventies, the Cure have built one of the most important discographies in contemporary music. From "Three Imaginary Boys" to the gothic trilogy of "Seventeen Seconds" - "Faith" - "Pornography", through the towering "Disintegration", and on to "The Head On The Door", "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me" and "Bloodflowers", the English group has influenced generations of artists, leaving a deep mark on post-punk, darkwave, new wave and alternative rock.
