The Cure Dominates 6music Playlist

The 6music playlist for 12 May 2026 featured 271 pieces, with a strong emphasis on The Cure. The day began with 23 consecutive tracks from the band, including live recordings from their 1985 NEC Birmingham concert. This extensive block set a distinct tone for the early hours, showcasing a deep dive into their discography.

Beyond The Cure, the playlist presented a varied selection of artists and genres. Tara Clerkin Trio was another frequently played act, with five pieces aired throughout the day, including two 6 Music Session recordings. Other notable composers with multiple plays included Beck, corto.alto, and ROSALÍA, each contributing three tracks. The mix of well-known artists like Joy Division and Prince with newer acts such as Lip Critic and Angine de Poitrine provided a broad listening experience.

The day concluded with a diverse set of tracks, moving from the electronic sounds of Shy One to the soulful tones of Peven Everett and Gil Scott-Heron. This eclectic finish, much like the overall playlist, highlighted 6music’s commitment to showcasing a wide range of musical styles and eras, from classic rock and punk to contemporary electronic and indie artists.
