    The Cure To Release Bestival Set Double CD For Charity

    The Cure have announced plans to release their headline set from this year's Bestival as a live album on a double CD and digital download.

    'Bestival Live 2011' will be available via Sunday Best Recordings from December 5. All profits from the release will be donated to the Isle of Wight Youth Trust.

    The Cure frontman Robert Smith said: "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. Bestival is the best!"

    Festival founder Rob da Bank added: "Since I was 15 and backcombing my hair, donning my sister's eyeliner and singing the lyrics to 'A Forest' into my hairbrush, I've had an unhealthy fascination with The Cure.

    "To say it reached its peak at Bestival 2011 is an understatement, as after seven years of pestering I not only landed The Cure to headline Bestival, but now appear to be putting out one of their live records on my own record label. How strange!"

    He continued: "For any of the 50,000 who were at Bestival and saw all or some of the two-and-a-half hour set, this live album will transport you back. For fans of The Cure who didn't make it I know this will be a legendary addition to your Cure collection!"
