The Cure have announced that they will be setting off on an expansive tour across North America this summer.
The trek will kick off on May 10 in New Orleans, and continue on through to Houston, Dallas, Austin, Albuquerque, Phoenix and more. It'll also include two three-night runs in Los Angeles and New York City, before coming to an end on July 1 in Miami.
Tickets will become available via Ticketmaster's verified fan sale program starting on March 15.
In a statement, the band declare that "apart from a few Hollywood Bowl charity seats, there will be no 'platinum' or 'dynamically priced' tickets on this tour."
Last year, The Cure revealed that they had recorded 20 new songs, some of which were destined for release on a new, 67-minute album.
Thirteen new songs were reportedly recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales back in early 2019, with the remaining songs written on the band's return to the studio later that year.
Yesterday (March 8), Noel Gallagher shared a remix of his song, Pretty Boy by The Cure frontman Robert Smith.

Speaking of the project, Smith offers: “I was surprised and delighted when Noel asked me to remix this gorgeous song, and I had a lot of fun slowing it down and spacing it out.
"Cure drummer Jason Cooper gave me a great vibey drum track to play along with – and the rest just phased into place under the starry sky of my distant moon…”.
