Equipment we endorse after 21 yrs.

This is a list of the brands we use not only to get The Cure sound, but also gear that we rely on to work every night on tour. We need to reproduce signature sounds from the last 30 years of The Cure's back catalogue. It's a tall order if you are travelling the world in a splitter bus with a stage crew of 'one'.
Brands you see here have been road-tested and stood up to the rigours of being thrown in the back of tour buses and made it into our backline purely because over 21 years they have become part of our touring rig. They have been dependable and capable of reproducing the same sounds night after night after night and have got Gary's voice sounding strong and in tune. Click on the logos to find out more.
