From Collectionzz:
We are excited to share the first poster for The Cure's 2026 Summer Tour for Barcelona by @nimitmalavia! We will have a small quantity of hand-numbered show edition prints for most shows, which will be available on the concert dates on Collectionzz!
"Taking thematic inspiration from A Forest and I Can Never Say Goodbye, I wanted to capture the feeling of being lost in the woods, on one level seeing through layers of trees, and as we take it all in, a familiar figure's iconic silhouette begins to coalesce out of the coiling branches. Contained inside their face a small raven. Held there, trapped by the feeling of loss. A songbird's melody makes its way to them. Exploring the idea of reconnecting with an essential thread, and through distance and loss, we find a way to connect." - Nimit Malavia
