It’s been a decade since The Cure last visited South America as part of their “The Great Circle Tour” in 2013. The Primavera Latin American dates now form an extension of the band’s current North American “Songs Of A Lost World” tour itinerary, set to wrap at the Miami-Dade Arena in Miami, FL, on July 1. Following on from these shows, The Cure will also be performing at the Riot Fest in Chicago on September 17 and then at Corona Capital 2023 in Mexico City on November 19.
“Songs Of A Lost World” marks The Cure’s first North American tour for seven years. The band originally attempted to make their shows as affordable as possible by offering zero “platinum” or “dynamically priced” tickets, and also only limited their sales to those registered as Ticketmaster Verified Fans in an attempt to prevent scalping.
Earlier in June, Primavera Sound held its flagship festival in Barcelona and staged an event in Madrid for the first time.
