"We are delighted to be returning to @SydOperaHouse for four exclusive performances only at #VividLIVE this May celebrating the 30th anniversary of Disintegration," the Cure tweeted. 

The band will also play seldom B-side performances, curated catalog cuts and perform with "evocative visual backdrops," at the shows according to the Opera House. 

Disintegration has several well-loved fan favorites, and in a 2017 interview with the Recording Academy, video director Tim Pope, who has directed Cure videos including "Friday I'm In Love" and "Just Like Heaven" talked about why "Lullaby" is one of their many great songs:

"That song was particularly lurid and vivid," says Pope, "and it's got one of my favorite lines: 'And I feel like I'm being eaten/By a thousand million shivering furry holes.' My god, where can you go wrong with a line like that?"
