The venue was where The Cure played their first gig in 1978, before the group went on to sell more than 30 million records.

And – 16 years after their 13th album 4:13 Dream – The Cure are back with Songs of a Lost Word.

The posted simply revealed the EPs name and release date, which is November 1.

Crawley is where the band was formed more than three decades ago.

Founding members Robert Smith, Michael Dempsey and Lol Tolhurst met at Notre Dame middle school in the West Sussex town.

Michael left the band in 1979 and Lol followed a year later.

The group is currently made up of Robert, Simon Gallup, Roger O’Donnell, Perry Bamonte, Jason Cooper and Reeves Gabrels.

Robert addressed the line-up changes during a TV interview in 2002.

He said: “In my own mind there have been five bands called The Cure that I’m in… The Cure has been an unusual band.

We will never shake the goth tag – I still have to field questions about being the godfather of goth.

“We cover a breadth of material but we’re pigeonholed despite that. I can live with it because I know that anyone who’s into the band knows there’s slightly more to it than doom and gloom.”

The Cure are known for hits including Lovesong and Lullaby.
