It’s not Friday the 13th, but you might think it is from looking at The Cure, who will play Time Warner Cable Arena on June 16. They’ve been wearing the same goth attire and porcelain-toned foundation and black eyeliner for years (not to mention Robert Smith’s never-changing wild hairdo). These elders of the music industry have been rocking since 1979 and show no signs of disintegrating. The English rockers are also gearing up for their 13th album in September (and will be releasing a single every 13th day of each month until then) and well, it would seem they’re also finding some time to shop at Hot Topic. $34.50-$54.50. 7 p.m. Time Warner Cable Arena, 333 East Trade St. www.timewarnercablearena.com.
