The Cure have announced the release date of their new album, which will be the first in 16 years from the grungy rockers.
The Close To You hitmakers didn’t just make a social media announcement like most people though – they went about the news in a very understated way: by placing a single poster on the outside wall of the Crawley pub, where they played their first gig in 1978.
Pictures taken and posted on social media see a shiny-looking black poster on the grey wall of The Railway pub in Sussex, which if you look close enough is announcing the exciting news.
While the band have now confirmed the news on social media, the poster reads – in tiny writing – the name of the record: Songs of a Lost World.
Fans are being well and truly treated, as not only will they get a new album after an almost 20-year wait – but the wait is almost over.
In roman numerals, the band revealed the new album will be released on November 1.
