The Cure have announced a 2023 tour of North America. Find their Shows of a Lost World dates on the poster below. The schedule comes with three dates apiece at L.A.’s Hollywood Bowl and New York’s Madison Square Garden. Support on all dates comes from their longtime tourmates the Twilight Sad.
In recent years, Robert Smith has been teasing a Cure album, giving regular progress reports. In 2019, after being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (by Trent Reznor), Smith said, “If I’m optimistic it will be finished before the start of this summer.” The album still hasn’t materialized.
The band’s last studio album was 2008’s 4:13 Dream. In recent years, Smith has collaborated with Gorillaz and remixed Chvrches, Deftones, and, just this week, Noel Gallagher. Last year, the band reissued 1992’s Wish. See where the Cure landed on Pitchfork’s list of “The 250 Best Songs of the 1990s.”
