The Cure add extra London date to 2022 UK tour

The Cure have added an extra London date to their 2022 UK tour.

Earlier this week (December 6), The Cure shared details of a 44-date UK and European tour next year, including five arena shows in the UK.

Now, an extra date has been added at London’s SEE Arena due to “overwhelming” demand on December 12.

The band will kick the shows off in Riga, Latvia at the city’s arena on October 6, 2022 before wrapping things up at London’s SSE Arena on December 12.

Tickets for the upcoming tour are on sale now and will be available from venues’ online box offices, selected ticket agents and via Bookings Direct. Head to The Cure’s website for further details.

Fans will be treated to a 135 minute show, with mention in a press release of a “67 minute” new album that is yet to be announced. The Cure’s last album was 2008’s ‘4:13 Dream’.

In a tweet to fans, Smith also confirmed that shows in the rest of the world were being “finalised” and would “announced in due course” – as well as promising to air material from the new album.

The Cure have also confirmed that the line-up for the tour will feature bassist Simon Gallup, who said back in August that he had left the band “with a slightly heavy heart,” writing that he’s “fed up of betrayal,” before appearing to confirm in October that he had re-joined the band.

Support for all shows comes from The Twilight Sad.
