The Cure Announces 44-Date 2022 European Arena Tour
MARCEL VAN HOORN/ANP/AFP via Getty Images – The Cure lead singer Robert Smith performs on stage during the second day of Pinkpop festival in Landgraaf, the Netherlands, June 9, 2019.
It was the 50th edition of the oldest pop festival of the Netherlands.
The Cure just announced a 44 date European Tour through 22 countries, including ample stops in the UK and Germany.
The new more than two-hour long live show promises the best of The Cure, who performed their first live show in 1978. Some 1,500 concerts and 13 studio albums later, the Rock’N’Roll Hall of Famers from Sussex, England, announce their next trek, following a busy festival summer in 2019, when they for instance headlined Pinkpop’s 50th anniversary in the Netherlands. The band returns to Holland on next year’s tour, performing on Nov. 25 at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.
Fans in Germany are treated to seven dates in total, that’s even more than the six UK stops closing the tour. Like on The Cure’s last European run in 2016, Twilight Sad will be special guests on all 44 shows. All dates below.
