The Cure played a two-and-a-half-hour set as they headlined the second night of this year's Bestival festival.

The band, fronted by Robert Smith, played a career-spanning set that included tracks 'Friday I'm In Love', 'A Forest' and tracks from their new album '4:13 Dream'.


Speaking to the crowd as they concluded their set, Smith said: : "We've run out of time, but you will see us again. I hope it doesn't rain, and I hope that you have a f*cking good Sunday."

Bestival festival finishes tonight with a headline performance from Bjork.
