The Cure reveal summer 2026 tour dates in UK and Ireland
The British band, The Cure, has recently disclosed plans for a series of performances in the United Kingdom and Ireland during the summer of the following year. On September 30th, the group used their social media platforms to announce that they would be gracing stages in cities like Dublin, Belfast, Manchester, and Edinburgh between June and August of 2026. This exciting news followed the band’s previous confirmation as headliners at various festivals during the summer of the upcoming year, such as the Isle of Wight Festival, Rock en Seine in Paris, and Nova Rock Festival in Austria. Although frontman Robert Smith had initially suggested a world tour for 2025, those plans did not materialize, paving the way for the anticipated 2026 shows to take place instead.
Making a surprise appearance at Glastonbury alongside headliner Olivia Rodrigo, Smith performed iconic hits like ‘Just Like Heaven’ and ‘Friday I’m In Love’. Despite celebrating their 50th anniversary on the horizon, The Cure shows no signs of slowing down. In addition to their forthcoming tour, the band released their latest album, ‘Songs of a Lost World’, back in October 2024. The album received glowing reviews, with Far Out praising it as a masterful blend of guitar work and rhythmic cadences that reveals a more immersive side to The Cure’s music. The ambient soundscapes presented in the album create an eerie yet captivating listening experience.
Fans eager to catch The Cure live can secure presale access by signing up for their mailing list before September 30th. General ticket sales for the summer tour will commence on October 3rd. The 2026 summer tour dates include performances at Marlay Park in Dublin, Belsonic in Belfast, Wythenshawe Park in Manchester, and the Royal Highland Showground in Edinburgh for the Edinburgh Summer Sessions.
As The Cure continues to captivate audiences with their timeless music and electrifying performances, their upcoming summer tour promises to be a must-see event for fans across the UK and Ireland.
