F_43765_large
(Gibson) The Cure have announced that they will release a live album of their 2011 Bestival headline set.

The reunited band headlined the U.K.'s Isle Of Wight-based Bestival festival in September, playing for two and a half hours and playing 32 songs. The Cure will release a recording of the whole gig in a two-CD package on December 5.

Cash in? Not really. All profits from sales of the live album will be donated to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, a charitable, independent and professional organization which offers counseling, advice, information and support services to young people ages 25 and under on the Isle of Wight. The Cure frontman Robert Smith says: "We had such a great time in the Isle of Wight at Bestival that we wanted to release this show as a way of thanking fans and islanders alike."
