Post-punk legends
The Cure have just added 30 more shows to their 2016 tour, bringing the total to 56 dates across North America and
Europe, as the band head out to their longest trek in years. The European shows, taking places in
Finland,
Sweden,
Norway,
Denmark,
Germany,
Poland,

Hungary,
Italy,
Switzerland,
Belgium,
Holland,
France,

Portugal and the
UK, will mark their first full European tour since 2008 release of their latest album,
4:13 Dream.
With 13 studio albums behind them,
The Cure have amassed a singular body of work since the release of their 1979 debut,
Three Imaginary Boys. Defining both the post-punk and goth genres, and recording crossover hits including
Friday I'm In Love and
The Love Cats, Robert Smith and co now promise to "explore 37 years of Cure songs" on the tour, mixing classic singles, rare album cuts and fan favourites alongside a mouth-watering promise of "as yet unreleased tracks". Bringing with them an explosive "brand new stage production", with them, and the Scottish post-punk outfit
The Twlight Sad as a support on all on all tour dates, The Cure's 2016 tour will doubtlessly become the must-see event of the year for their fans.
