Sky Presents the Isle of Wight Festival will host a live streamed photographer Q&A celebrating the career of one of the most influential bands of all time, The Cure, tomorrow evening at Iconic Images Piccadilly.

The event will feature longtime Cure photographers Kevin Cummins and Richard Bellia in a Q&A panel, joined by Isle of Wight Festival promoter John Giddings and Curepedia author Simon Price. The panel will be moderated by NME journalist, Liberty Dunworth.

Fans can watch the live stream from their mobile device via the Isle of Wight Festival instagram (link HERE).  Please note, viewers will need to have the instagram app on their device.


The event marks the launch of a public photo exhibition of work by Cummins and Bellia at Iconic Images Gallery, Piccadilly, running until February 2, 2026
.

Richard Bellia, whose access to The Cure has spanned decades, captures moments of introspection and stillness that occur on the edge of the public spectacle, revealing the interiority and focus driving the band’s creativity. Kevin Cummins, by contrast, brings a sharp graphic sensibility honed through his work in post-punk and alternative culture. His portraits of The Cure helped fix the band’s visual identity within the wider language of British music photography.

The Cure will headline Sunday night at Sky Presents the Isle of Wight Festival 2026, joined by fellow headliners Lewis Capaldi and Calvin Harris, plus The Last Dinner PartyWet LegThe KooksTom GrennanTeddy Swims and more.

Tickets to the festival are on sale now through isleofwightfestival.com.
