The Cure Announce 2016 European Dates
Post-punk legends The Cure have just added 30 more shows to their 2016 tour, bringing the total to 56 dates across North America and Europe, as the band head out on their longest trek in years. The European shows, taking in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, France, Spain, Portugal and the UK, will mark their first full tour of Europe since the 2008 release of their latest album, 4:13 Dream.
With 13 studio albums behind them, The Cure have amassed a singular body of work since the release of their 1979 debut, Three Imaginary Boys. Defining both the post-punk and goth genres, and recording crossover hits including ‘Friday I’m In Love’ and ‘The Love Cats’, Robert Smith and co now promise to “explore 37 years of Cure songs” on the tour, mixing classic singles, rare album cuts and fan favourites alongside a mouth-watering promise of “as yet unreleased tracks”. Bringing with them an explosive “brand new stage production”, with support on all dates from Scottish post-punk outfit The Twlight Sad, The Cure’s 2016 tour will doubtless become the must-see event of the year for fans.
