The Cure Likely To Tour Next Year – Robert Smith
Last week, The Cure frontman Robert Smith said that the band are likely to tour again in 2025.
Smith outlined the plans for the band in a recent interview.
“We’ll start up again next year,” stated Smith. “Seriously, I have to finish the second album. We were going to play festivals next year, but then I decided that we weren’t going to play anything next summer. The next time we go out on stage will be autumn next year”.
Smith continued: “But then we’ll probably be playing quite regularly through until the next anniversary – the 2028 anniversary! It’s looming on the horizon. The 2018 one, I started to think about in late 2016, thinking, ‘I’ve got a year and a half, it’s easy!’ And yet I still didn’t manage to get there in time. Now, I’m starting to think, ‘2028, I must get things in order’; so [that’s] the documentary film and things like that”.
