The Cure return to U.S. for ACL Festival + 'The Top' turns 35 years old


The Cure will be heading back to the U.S. in October to play Austin City Limits Music Festival. The festival takes place at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas October 4th - 6th and October 11th - 13th (identical lineups for both weekends). Three day general admission passes for ACL are on sale now, however considering the overall unappealing nature of the festival lineup, Cure fans may want to hold off until the daily lineups are revealed and/or single day passes go on sale. Head here for ACL info/tickets.

So far The Cure have not announced other dates surrounding ACL, but considering they'll be in the U.S. with a week off between these festival gigs it's possible they could be considering opportunities for other shows. Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, today marks the 35th anniversary of The Cure's classic album The Top. Enjoy some footage of The Cure performing cuts from The Top captured live in 1984.
