The Cure’s upcoming album expected in the next year or so

The upcoming album of The Cure might be within reach for fans according to keyboardist Roger O’Donnell, who anticipates the record will be out “in the coming year or so.” With bandmate Robert Smith, attending to his creative undertakings, O’Donnell expresses his uncertainty regarding the album’s current status post their November 2024 hit, Songs Of A Lost World. Despite being out of the loop, O’Donnell asserts that followers won’t be left waiting for long.

While not in the know about Smith’s concrete plans or the LP’s launch before their future tour, O’Donnell discloses limited information by mentioning Jason Cooper’s drum contributions in April. He reports sporadic communication about impending reunions, especially since Smith is in an introspective phase. Expectations run high for the new record’s arrival, given the positive reception of Songs Of A Lost World. O’Donnell expressed his pleasant surprise at the album’s success, emphasizing The Cure’s consistent high standards.

Prior to Songs Of A Lost World’s debut, Smith hinted at the completion of the subsequent album. In a conversation with Matt Everitt, Smith shared his anticipation for the forthcoming record, declaring significant progress. Referring to a possible third album, Smith playfully mused about the uncertainty that accompanies such projections. Songs Of A Lost World emerged as The Cure’s first official album after a prolonged 16-year hiatus following their 2008 release, 4:13 Dream. Not only successful in the UK, Songs Of A Lost World secured top positions in various international charts, marking a triumphant return for The Cure.

Looking forward, avid fans can await The Cure’s headlining performance at Nova Rock Festival 2026. Additionally, a quirky anecdote emerged when Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus recalled a humorous interaction where Smith attempted to plant a kiss on him. Smith’s influence extends beyond his band’s musical endeavors as he is set to curate the 2026 Teenage Cancer Trust concerts. Exploring the mysterious realm of dynamic ticket pricing, Smith expressed skepticism, denouncing it as a “scam”.

In conclusion, The Cure’s new album appears to be on the horizon, promising an exciting musical venture for passionate followers. Stay tuned for updates on the band’s creative milestones and announcements regarding their highly-anticipated forthcoming release.
