Robert Smith cominβ.
The lead vocalist of The Cure made sure to give a nod to Baltimoreβs most famous TV show during their sold-out concert Sunday at Merriweather Post Pavilion. During the 27-song set, Smith wore a shirt emblazoned with βOmar cominββ in big block letters, a reference to HBOβs βThe Wire.β
The band played their most famous tracks over the course of three hours, including βFriday, Iβm in Love,β βJust Like Heaven,β βBoys Donβt Cryβ and βLovesong.β
The crowd seemed especially thankful for the performance, which came roughly three months after Smith famously took on Ticketmaster, resulting in the company refunding tacked-on ticket fees to fans. βThe system that values profit over people is really what needs to be changed,β Smith wrote.
Ticketmaster βas a gesture of goodwill have offered a $10 per ticket refund to all verified fan accounts for the lowest ticket price transaction,β he later updated fans. βAnd a $5 per ticket refund to all verified fan accounts for other ticket price transactions for all Cure shows at all venues.β
The Cureβs fans made sure Smith saw their gratitude. βThx, Robert!β one sign read, with a hashtag written just below: β#ticketmastersux.β
