Does the The Cure Setlist Change Night to Night?

The core of the The Cure 2026 setlist — the singles and the staging — stays consistent across the tour so production cues work from night to night. Smaller changes (a deep cut swap, a city-specific cover, or an acoustic surprise) happen on some nights.
