The Cure Plan Their First Concert Tour in 10 Years
Legendary Gothic pop band The Cure just unveiled details on their much-needed North American tour, scheduled for this summer. Following the Austin City Limits Festival in 2018, the band makes their first live performance in many years. After their defining work on the 1980s new wave/alternative rock movement in songs like "Just Like Heaven, "Lovesong," and "Friday I'm In Love," audiences have been longing to see the band play live once again.
Robert Smith formed The Cure, which debuted their second album, Seventeen Seconds in 1980. Still, they kept investigating synthetic music with songs "Let's Go To Bed" and "The Walk," until the 1989 album Disintegration brought them global popularity. The Cure began recording and performing some thirty years ago, and since then they have become one of the most important, well-known, and successful bands in the annals of alternative music. Together with Smith's lyrical and intimate lyrics, the Cure's music was unlike anything anybody had heard before with its gloomy guitars and thumping percussion.
It is anticipated that the next tour to reprise all the great songs The Cure created in the past. Songs from the albums Kiss Me Kiss Me and Wish as well as those from Disintegration will delight older fans like "Lullaby, Fascination Street, and Pictures of You." More current deep cuts and fresh music abound among the tracks most likely to be on the setlists. Among the fans, the tour has generated a lot of hype and expectation; most of the shows have sold out.
The North American part of The Cure tour starts on August 16 in Toronto, Canada, and ends in late September. The tour spans two months and features headline shows in arenas and amphitheaters across the United States. Some of the noteworthy venues on the tour include Chicago’s Huntington Bank Pavilion on the Lake, Los Angeles Forum, New York’s Madison Square Garden, and Colorado’s world-renowned Red Rocks Amphitheatre. The tour spans across more than 20 cities and ends in Miami on September 24th.
Apart from the North American tour this summer and fall, The Cure is expected to be among the major headliners of several international music festivals in the coming months. This routine comprises appearances at the Reading and Leeds Festival in England and Madrid’s Mad Cool Festival at the same time as their single-date performances.
Loyal Cure fans hoping to relive the magic of Disintegration on this tour will have much to look forward to, specifically the setlist, and opening act. They have said that another icon of the 80s, the alt-rock band The Pixies, will be opening for them at nearly all of the band’s North American dates. Any self-respecting fan of music, young or mature, will surely be delighted by this unique opportunity to see these two groundbreaking bands that played a significant role in shaping the genre of alternative rock as we know it today. If they are together on stage, one can expect some incredible performances.
Since The Cure has not had a North American tour in years, fans should not waste their chance to see them if they still can buy tickets. Some of the dates are already sold out and there are only a few VIP packages and resell tickets available. The band has a fan base, which is an audience of over forty years of deep impact and several generations of fans will not miss what could be the only concert of 2022 for many.
This long-due tour announcement commences the band’s significant year where one of music’s most cherished acts is still relevant, full of energy, and prepared to perform cherished hits and new hits to fans across the world. And with only a few months left before The Cure will be rocking the cities of the continent with their dark guitars, breathless energy, and sincere lyrics – the time counts.
