The Cure 2027 Tour Dates & Schedule

Quick answer

No — there is no officially announced The Cure Tour 2027. Ticketmaster's official artist pages show "No Upcoming Concerts," and the band's own site is currently focused on the 2026 festival summer and the Show of a Lost World concert film. The honest reason to stay optimistic: Robert Smith has said on the record that The Cure will keep playing through the band's 50th anniversary in 2028 before his planned retirement — so 2027 dates are expected, just not announced.

What's confirmed vs. what's still coming

Why 2027 looks likely: the 50th anniversary runway

The strongest evidence for 2027 dates isn't a leak — it's arithmetic. Smith told The Times and the band's own interviewer Matt Everitt that the final chapter would begin with a world tour after the new album, with the band playing "quite regularly" through the 2028 anniversary. The band formed in Crawley in 1978 and played its first show that year, so 2028 is the golden anniversary; Smith has framed his own 70th birthday in 2029 as the full stop. A 2027 tour would sit squarely in that final runway, likely timed around the follow-up album.

Form backs it up. Songs of a Lost World was universally acclaimed and hit number one in more than 30 countries, and the summer 2026 shows — headline sets in Manchester, Edinburgh, Dublin, Belfast, Cardiff and Madrid, plus Isle of Wight Festival — sold on the strength of that record and the deep catalog. The band's 2023 North American run proved the demand is still arena-scale, and Smith's very public refusal of dynamic pricing and Ticketmaster fees turned that tour into a fan-goodwill story that only raised his stock.

The current lineup is settled too: Smith, Simon Gallup, Jason Cooper, Roger O'Donnell and Reeves Gabrels — five members as of 2026, with Perry Bamonte not included. And Smith is still saying yes to one-off moments: he guested with Olivia Rodrigo on Cure songs during her Glastonbury headline set in June 2026. None of this is a 2027 announcement, but every signal points the same direction — the only honest answer is that dates are expected, not confirmed.

Ticket and presale info

Nothing is on sale and nothing is announced for 2027. When The Cure do announce, expect the fan-first model Smith insisted on for the 2023 North American tour: low base prices, no dynamic pricing, and public pressure on Ticketmaster over fees — a stance that won partial fee refunds for some fans. If you see any site selling "The Cure 2027 tour tickets" now, do not buy: with no official dates, nothing legitimate exists to sell.

Smith has said the anniversary plans — the documentary film, the new album, and the touring around them — are being put in order deliberately, so the 2027 announcement is more likely to arrive as one coherent package than as drips. When it lands, the band's own site and verified social channels will carry it first. Fans of atmospheric British rock should also keep an eye on our Depeche Mode 2027 tour dates and The 1975 2027 tour pages, and post-punk devotees can track the Fontaines D.C. 2027 tour page alongside this one.
