35 years after first jamming together in a suburban garage, The Cure are playing some of the biggest shows of their lives as part of a festival tour that brings them to the Electric Picnic. Drugs, keep-fit regimes, MASTODON collaborations, Irish sojourns, football, David Bowie and Tommy Cooper are all on the agenda as Robert Smith has a late night pow wow with Stuart Clark.

I’ve been allowed to stay up past eleven since I was 14 – sadly this landmark was reached during the 1970s – but usually it’s the hour at which I’m watching Paxo on Newsnight or slathering on the Nivea For Men rather than waiting to be rung up by Robert Smith.
