Watch The Cure’s Robert Smith Join Chvrches On Four Songs In London

Chvrches have once again teamed up with the Cure singer Robert Smith, following up their joint performance at BandLab NME Awards 2022, where they did two Screen Violence cuts -- "Asking For A Friend" (minus Smith) and "How Not To Drown" -- and the Cure's "Just Like Heaven." Tonight, they all reunited at London's Brixton Academy, where Smith and the Scottish synth-pop trio revisited their "Just Like Heaven" cover and "How Not To Drown," and then some. The evening's encore included Smith joining Chvrches for renditions of "The Mother We Share" and "Clearest Blue." Watch some fan-shot footage below.
