Watch The Cure’s Robert Smith Join Olivia Rodrigo For Two Songs At Glastonbury

If any Glastonbury attendees somehow didn’t know about the Cure before the festival this weekend, they probably do now. On Friday, Gracie Abrams did a cover of their 1987 classic “Just Like Heaven,” describing it as one of her “favorite songs ever” and that she wish she wrote it. Tonight’s headliner is Abrams’ former tourmate Olivia Rodrigo, who earlier this month brought out David Byrne to do Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House” together during her headlining Governors Ball set. Rodrigo is a Cure fan, too, and also did a cover of “Just Like Heaven” at Glastonbury along with “Friday I’m In Love.” Oh, and Robert Smith joined her.

“I’m so wildly excited about this next guest, I can’t even contain it,” Rodrigo said as she introduced Smith. “He is perhaps the best songwriter to come out of England, he is a Glastonbury legend, and a personal hero of mine.” I don’t know how she keeps pulling off these insane surprise duets, but I’m always happy to see them. See them sing together below.
