They (we) have!  Selling out New York and Los Angeles (and maybe even Chicago) is impressive, and I'd really like to see some numbers come in from the vast wasteland inbetween.  Looking forward to January.

It's good to finally have official news from the band after so many months... However, not as great news as one would expect, because I think this is going to be a greatest hits (sort of) tour. And why?

It's not probable it's going to be the promised Trilogy tour, since this has too many dates (25). It's also not probable this is going to be a tour to promote a new album, since the band members have been too busy with their own personal projects to be able to compose / record a new album. Also, if this was an album tour it would be a world one, not just North America, right?

I'm betting North America is the first leg.  It is unlikely going on impossible to expect this to be a 'Trilogy' tour, you're right there.  I'm still betting on a new album, they have had the better part of 2014-2015 to get it done.

It would make sense. With a US tour lined up and rumors of a European tour... it would sound like a good idea to keep it (relatively) quiet for 2015, then come back in 2016 with a new album & tour  :!:

I hope they plan a Buffalo show or Rochester or I wont be going

[Ulrich]

Here it is, official announcement for most of the US shows:

The Cure will be playing 27 shows in 22 North America cities next Spring, their first major tour of the continent since 2008.
 
During the past 7 years the band has performed a number of 'Reflections' shows in LA and NYC, and headlined most of the major festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bottlerock, Osheaga, two Austin City Limits, three Riots and a Voodoo...
 
"THE CURE TOUR 2016" will present Robert Smith (voice/guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Roger O'Donnell (keys) and Reeves Gabrels (guitar) as they explore 37 years of Cure songs, mixing hits, rarities, favourites and as yet unreleased tracks in a brand new stage production that promises to be the 'must see' show of the year!
 
Support on all dates will be The Twilight Sad.

Hi.  New here.  I notice that there are FAN PRESALE tickets.  Where can we get access to that?  Is there a fan club to join?  I'm a little confused of what pre-sale is and if there is any way I can do that for the Dallas show in 2016.  Thanks.
