Glastonbury on Sunday, as it happened: The Cure close Glastonbury 2019 with 'Boys Don't Cry'

Final day of Glastonbury took place at Worthy Farm after a weekend of unprecedented good weather

The Cure perform Friday I'm In Love at Glastonbury

The Cure performed the closing set of the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival 2019, with a euphoric rendition of "Boys Don't Cry".

The goth rockers played a number of crowd favourites including "Friday I'm in Love", "The Forest" and "In Between Days".

During their set, frontman Robert Smith quipped that he was attempting to win the prize for saying "the least" during the performance, referring to his near-silence in between songs for the first half of the show.

The performance was preceded by Vampire Weekend on the same stage, along with shows across Worthy Farm by artists including Miley Cyrus, Loyle Carner, Dave, Flohio, Little Simz, Janelle Monae, Kylie Minogue and Years & Years.

Temperatures were slightly cooler following what appeared to be a near-record-breaking heatwave on the Saturday, that prompted one glamping site to ban showers due to a water shortage.

Woooooo. So I said they might do this, a double whammy so far of "In Between Days" and "Friday I'm in Love". Beautiful. Robert Smith's voice sounds incredible.

Think I could quite happily listen to The Cure jam on "The Forest" forever and ever.

Here's a review I did from that BST show last year

Janelle Monae just made a powerful speech over on the West Holts Stage: "We must impeach Donald Trump. We must fight for the rights of immigrants. We must fight for the rights of LGBTQIA people, of black people, of women. And we must impeach Donald Trump."

It's Boys Don't Cry to close The Cure's epic set on the Pyramid Stage!

That was pretty spectacular. We should have a review in from the splendid Jazz Monroe in the next 10 minutes or so, for now I'm going to wrap this liveblog up. Thanks so much to everyone who followed and contributed to The Independent's Glastonbury 2019 coverage, I hope you've enjoyed. See you next year at Worthy Farm!
