The Cure will embark on a 25-date North American tour in 2016. The full details of the tour will be unveiled in January, but so far the band has announced shows at in Los Angeles May 22, Chicago on June 10, and New York City June 18. Visit TheCure.com for ticket details.
Scottish band The Twilight Sad will open for all three dates. Robert Smith previously covered The Twilight Sad song "There's a Girl in the Corner," so perhaps there will be an onstage collaboration between the two bands.
Though they've headlined festivals and performed shows in select cities here and there, this tour will be The Cure's first full-length North American trek since 2008.
Here are The Cure's announced 2016 tour dates:
5/22 — Los Angeles, CA, Hollywood Bowl
6/10 — Chicago, IL, UIC Pavilion
6/18 — New York, NY, Madison Square Garden
