With a new album on the horizon, The Cure plans to play more than 20 festivals this summer. However, before heading to the festival circuit, they will hold a series of 30th anniversary performances to celebrate their 1989 flagship album. Disintegration.
The performances will take place on May 24th, 25th, 27th and 28th at the Sydney Opera House in Sydney, Australia, as part of this year's Vivid Live. In 2011, The Cure had already made headlines at the festival, during which they had played their first three albums in their entirety. This time, they will revisit their eight disks, Disintegration, in full.
"Our reflections the shows of 2011 were truly memorable experiences and, with the excitement of these first albums, we are delighted to announce our return in May 2019 to present the world premiere of Disintegration – 30th anniversary, "said leader Robert Smith in a statement.
In addition to the album, The Cure will play "a selection of rarely played B sides as well as specially prepared deep catalog cuts."
Tickets and more information are available on the festival website. Below, check out The Cure's complete tour schedule.
Of course, this year will also see The Cure being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame alongside Radiohead, Janet Jackson, Stevie Nicks and Roxy Music, among others.
