The Cure are returning to the road with newly announced 2026 European and U.K. tour dates, bringing their iconic sound to major festivals and headlining shows across the continent. The legendary post-punk band will perform a mix of festival appearances and outdoor concerts through the summer, marking another major run for the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers.

The trek begins June 3 in Barcelona at Primavera Sound before moving through Austria, the U.K., Ireland, and France. Stops include the Isle of Wight Festival, Dublin’s Marley Park, and Paris’ Rock en Seine, as well as headline dates in Manchester and Edinburgh that will feature support from acts like slowdive, Mogwai, and The Twilight Sad.

Various presales ran throughout the week, and a general on-sale begins Friday, October 3 at 9:00 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster. Full ticketing details are available via the band’s official website. Tickets are also available on resale marketplaces like Ticket Club, where members can save big by avoiding service fees.
