The Cure have announced a new live box set featuring recordings of their 40th anniversary concerts from earlier this year.

The box contains four live CDs, as well as two concert films which will be available in Blu-ray and DVD editions. The recordings include sets from the Robert Smith-curated Meltdown Festival, in which they performed a song from each of their albums in chronological order, and then a similar set in reverse chronological order. Take a look at the trailer for the box set, as well as the setlists from the concerts.
