Robert Smith has announced a listening session on Twitter from Friday (November 25) to Saturday (November 26) at midnight for the new edition of The Cure’s classic WISH.
Following her show at the Ziggo Dome Amsterdam, Smith will, presumably backstage, attend to his Twitter fans and the hearing about Tim Burgess’ Twitter Page “Tim’s Listening Party” to accompany. This is what the band shared on Monday (November 14).
