The Cure
Shake Live Shake
A book to experience live.
By Julien Bremard, Mauro Melis and William Soragna
Three months after the end of The Cure’s 2026 European tour, Shake Live Shake traces in photographs a decade of the band’s concerts (2013-2022), years that Robert Smith himself considers his best in the band.
Two accredited photographers, William Soragna and Mauro Melis, followed the band throughout that decade, from Miami to Montpellier, from Chicago to Paris. Together with Julien Bremard (author, publisher and graphic designer), they turned it into a book: a 164-page bilingual French-English volume to (re)live these concerts from the photo pit, that coveted space at the foot of the stage reserved for photographers.
