Last year, Rodrigo released her live duets with Smith as part of her ‘Live From Glastonbury 2025’ album. She had introduced the frontman by calling him “perhaps the greatest songwriter to come out of England” and “a personal hero of mine”. Rodrigo has since said she’d been “diving deeper into The Cure’s discography”.
Shortly after Glastonbury 2025, the star shared some photos from Worthy Farm, including one of her hanging out and doing shots with Smith backstage, and going to bed wearing a Cure T-shirt.
In 2023, Rodrigo spoke about going to watch The Cure and Depeche Mode live with her dad.
Speaking to NME in 2021, Rodrigo said both her mother and father were “music heads” and had encouraged their daughter’s artistic endeavours from an early age. “I love pop-punk music; I love grunge music; I love country music and folk music,” she explained at the time.
Meanwhile, The Cure kicked off their massive European and UK summer tour with a headline set at Primavera Sound last Friday (June 5). They then topped the bill at North Festival in Portugal on Sunday (June 7).
The band’s live schedule for this year also includes stops at Isle Of Wight Festival, Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park, Dublin’s Marlay Park, and a set at the Edinburgh Summer Sessions.
In other news, Smith has revealed the next Cure album is “done”, with another “poppy” record also on the horizon. “It doesn’t compare melodically to the stuff that Olivia does, but it’s my idea of Cure Pop,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Rodrigo has addressed the “disturbing” controversy around her new babydoll dress look, saying that it “shows how we really normalise pedophilia in our culture”.
