The Cure announce plans for 25 date North American tour


The Robert Smith related news is coming fast and furious this week! Just yesterday Smith unveiled his remix of Ride's "Vapour Trail" (hinting that more mixes are coming), and today The Cure announced they're heading to North America in 2016 for a 25 date tour! So far only three of the dates have been announced -- Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York -- but the remainder of the dates will be announced in January. The Twilight Sad will serve as support for the tour which shouldn't come as too big of a surprise; Smith is a big fan of the Scottish band and recorded a cover their song "There's A Girl In The Corner" for a limited edition 7" release back in June. Dates/pre-sale info for the three Cure shows can be viewed below. Fans can also check out Smith's Twilight Sad cover and his Ride remix below.

UPDATE: The Cure added a second date in Los Angeles due to popular demand
