We knew this was coming, and now it's official! The Cure have confirmed a new album AND tour for 2019! The forthcoming release will mark the goth rockers 14th studio album, and their first full studio release since 2008.
“We’re going in about six weeks time to finish up what will be our first album in more than a decade. It’s very exciting times for us all around.” - Frontman Robert Smith shared in an interview with SiriusXM.
They've also plotted a massive tour in support. The dates so far are only in Europe/UK, but with a new album there's no question that the band will add more dates across the globe in due time. After performing at Rock on the Lawns in South Africa in March 2019, the band will kick off their Euro festival route on June 8th in Dublin, Ireland and wrap up on August 23rd in Paris at Rock en Seine.
All the dates ARE at music festivals, and Smith did note earlier on that the band would be playing 20 festivals next summer. So are we sensing a Cure appearance at Coachella 2019? Don't be shocked if they do!
In other news, The Cure were recently inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. It's been a great year for the goths.
