The Cure Announce Full Fall US Tour - Tickets On Sale

BREAKING NEWS: The Cure Announce Full Fall US Tour - Tickets On Sale June 28
Yes, it's official. No more toying with us, making only random festival appearances here
and there, both few and far between. The Cure -- they of the badly drawn lipstick,
artfully disheveled tresses, and gift for bridging the goth gap between mope and merriment
-- are heading back to North American shores this Fall.

The Head On the Door. Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me. Disintegration. Standing on a
Beach, the Singles. The mere mention of any one of these landmark releases is enough to
send paroxysms of dreamy nostalgia through my entire being. Yes, I'm a dork. But what
can I say, The Cure were a defining force in music for more folk than just me. And that's
precisely why this tour is going to be big, baby, big.

The first round of tickets go on sale next Thursday, 6/28! Dates will continue to roll
out over the subsequent weeks, so keep your eyes peeled on the link below for your city.

The opening band will be 65 Days Of Static. And what you really want to know: Is this
really The Cure, or just a bunch of studio musicians accompanying Robert Smith?
According to their lovely publicity peeps, "Led as always by lead singer/guitarist Robert
Smith, the Cure line-up comprises longtime members bass player Simon Gallup, drummer
Jason Cooper and, back in the band for a third time, guitarist Porl Thompson." Oh happy
day!
