Check out our recap of TheCure's headlining set at Øya Festival 🎸
Robert Smith of The Cure performs on Day 1 of OYA Festival on Aug. 7, 2019 in Oslo, Norway.closed out the first day of Øya, Norway's largest festival, on Wednesday with a free-flowing and varied set. The band's two-hours-and-15-minutes-long show had the band digging deep into their back catalog, and saw the frontman in an uncharacteristically playful mood.
The iconic alternative rock group delivered a set that balanced their biggest chart hits with lesser-known tracks from some of their acclaimed '80s albums. The 60-year-old Smith danced during encores and even flirted a bit with the audience -- excusing his lack of Norwegian skills -- for the sold-out festival crowd of 17,500.
Aside from The Cure, James Blake delivered an elegant mix of slow introverted songs, like the powerful openingand the smooth and bass-driven “Timeless," while displaying just a little more light than his earlier darker albums. But the British electro-soul artist, who recently added more fall dates to his Assume Form tour, seemed content at the main stage and chit-chatted away, asking the audience why he was performing in daylight, saying he always prefers nights.
Her music is more interesting than just cozy, though -- and with a full band including saxophonists, trumpets and a contra bass, she played both her well-received and intensely poppy “Leave Me to the Moon,” as well as the more edgy "Lionheart." The jam-packed tent, as well as the very attentive audience, seemed to make the seasoned artist almost shy, as she exclaimed that this “was the best experience she’d ever had.
