[dropcap]More[/dropcap] details are surfacing regarding The Cure’s 2016 North American tour, a tour that is possibly celebrating the band’s 40th year in existence (if you count 1976 as a starting point). Interesting to note is that mentioned in the status update is the promise of “yet unreleased tracks”, so I think it is safe to assume that there will be yet another Cure album on the way…maybe? Material from the planned followup to 4:13 Dream, such as 4:14 Scream and/or 4:26 Dream? Or something entirely new?

Rumour has it that The Cure are also planning a European leg of the tour for next fall, but we can’t confirm if that is true or not at this time. However, given the format and production details below, It’s probable that dates in Germany, for example, would probably not translate well into a festival lineup.

Fingers crossed!

Here are the details announced via The Cure’s Facebook page this afternoon:

The Cure will be playing 27 shows in 22 North America cities next Spring, their first major tour of the continent since 2008.

During the past 7 years the band has performed a number of ‘Reflections’ shows in LA and NYC, and headlined most of the major festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bottlerock, Osheaga, two Austin City Limits, three Riots and a Voodoo…

“THE CURE TOUR 2016” will present Robert Smith (voice/guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Roger O’Donnell (keys) and Reeves Gabrels (guitar) as they explore 37 years of Cure songs, mixing hits, rarities, favourites and as yet unreleased tracks in a brand new stage production that promises to be the ‘must see’ show of the year!

Support on all dates will be The Twilight Sad.
