JAKARTA - Good news comes from the British rock band, The Cure, who confirmed that it has completed a recording of 13 songs for a new album a project that was surprisingly completed amid their busy schedule of preparing a concert film from last year's Troxy show.
Citing NME, this news was caught by the observant fans of The Cure, after finding the biographical section on the band's official website has been updated.
The update not only includes their activities in 2025, such as the release of the album 'Mixes Of A Lost World' in June and Robert Smith's performance with Olivia Rodrigo in Glastonbury' but also reveals a big plan that has been unclear.
In the biography, The Cure confirmed the continuation of their latest projects, including a follow-up to the comeback album which was warmly welcomed in 2024, Songs Of A Lost World.
"In March 2025, the band returned to Rockfield Studios to record 13 more songs for the follow-up album," The Cure wrote in an official website biography.
Not only that, it was also explained that after appearing in Glastonbury, Smith returned to the studio to help re-edit and remix the film The Show Of A Lost World.

This refers to the documentation of Troxy's show in London in November last year. That night, The Cure performed an entire song from 'Songs Of A Lost World', followed by sets of old songs.
This news is also in line with Smith's statement during the release of 'Songs Of A Lost World', where he said The Cure actually already had another album that had been completed, as well as a third album that was in the process. At that time, Smith had also indicated his reluctance to return to the tour before at least one of the albums was completed.
The announcement of the recording of the 13 new songs is increasingly urgent considering that The Cure recently released a series of major show schedules for 2026, including major tours in the UK and Ireland, as well as being a headliner at major festivals.
This series of solid schedules, which will be their first performance together since Troxy, will automatically be a strong clue that their new musical material will be launched in the near future.
In addition, rumors were also circulating that The Cure will appear in a special show at the historic Royal Albert Hall in London as part of a series of Cancer Trust Teenage concerts. Smith himself was lined up as the curator for the 2026 edition, replacing Roger Daltrey from The Who who who released the role.
Robert Smith doesn't seem to intend to hit the brakes. He even imagined that The Cure celebration would continue until the band's 50th anniversary.
"I'm going to be 70 years old in 2029, and that's the first 50th anniversary of The Cure album," Smith said. "That's him, really that. If I made it that far, yes, that's him. Meanwhile, I want us to include the concert as part of the overall plan about what we're going to do. I like him; the last 10 years playing the show was the best 10 years in the band. That's much better than the other 30 years! This is amazing."
