The Cure Announce Tour, Ready New Album
The Cure have just announced the North American leg of their 2007 world tour, which means that Asians and Australians won't be the only ones treated to a healthy dose of makeup and mood this summer and fall.
The band are also readying their 13th studio album, the as-yet-untitled follow-up to their 2004 self-titled record, for a fall release on Suretone/Geffen.
Frontman Robert Smith, guitarist Porl Thompson, bassist Simon Gallup, and drummer Jason Cooper will begin their jaunt in Fuji, Japan on July 27, and they have shows scheduled through October 17 in Dallas at the oh-so-goth American Airlines Center.
Sheffield up-and-comers 65daysofstatic will open all of the North American shows.
Dates:
07-27 Fuji, Japan - Fuji Rock Festival 07-30 Hong Kong, China - Asia World Arena 08-01 Singapore, Singapore - Singapore Indoor Stadium 08-04 Perth, Australia - Challenge Stadium 08-06 Adelaide, Australia - Entertainment Centre 08-08 Brisbane, Australia - Entertainment Centre 08-10 Sydney, Australia - Entertainment Centre 08-12 Melbourne, Australia - Rod Laver Arena 09-13 Tampa, FL - St. Petersburg Times Forum * 09-15 Atlanta, GA - Gwinnett Civic Center * 09-17 Charlotte, NC - Charlotte Bobcats Arena * 09-19 Washington, DC - Patriot Center * 09-21 Philadelphia, PA - Wachovia Spectrum * 09-23 New York, NY - Madison Square Garden * 09-25 Boston, MA - Agganis Arena * 09-26 Montreal, Quebec - Bell Center * 09-27 Toronto, Ontario - Air Canada Centre * 09-29 Chicago, IL - Allstate Arena * 10-02 Denver, CO - Red Rocks Amphitheater * 10-04 Salt Lake City, UT - E Center * 10-06 Mountain View, CA - Shoreline Amphitheater (Download Festival) * 10-08 Seattle, WA - Key Arena * 10-09 Vancouver, British Columbia - General Motors Place * 10-11 Santa Barbara, CA - Santa Barbara Bowl * 10-13 San Diego, CA - Cox Arena * 10-14 Los Angeles, CA - Hollywood Bowl * 10-16 Houston, TX - Toyota Center * 10-17 Dallas, TX - American Airlines Center *

i think i will be going this time around. i' missed them on the last tour and was the first time in years.
yeah Cure!
― Bee OK, Saturday, 23 June 2007 00:43 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, same here, the Curiosa deal was fairly annoying in concept. I didn't want Festival Cure but straight up Cure (this said, an opening band this time around is a bit different from the 1996 and 2000 tours where they went without, but if they don't take up too much time I'm fine with it...)
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 23 June 2007 00:50 (sixteen years ago) link
nice to see 65DOS get a decent support act for once
― Just got offed, Saturday, 23 June 2007 00:55 (sixteen years ago) link
No support for Australian shows - Cure perform whole concert!
Oh yeah!
― SeekAltRoute, Saturday, 23 June 2007 03:22 (sixteen years ago) link
OMG 65dos are supporting the Cure on the US leg? NO FUCKING FAIR
That said, fuck paying $120 for a ticket (which is how much they are here).
― Trayce, Saturday, 23 June 2007 04:28 (sixteen years ago) link
So that means they're going to start a tour before having a new album out?
― baaderonixx, Saturday, 23 June 2007 08:46 (sixteen years ago) link
HUR HUR HUR
― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 23 June 2007 09:08 (sixteen years ago) link
Cure + 65DOS = must see
09-15 Atlanta, GA - Gwinnett Civic Center *
:D
― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 23 June 2007 17:52 (sixteen years ago) link
I need to find someone to go with though because I suspect my gf, having already seen the Cure live and not wanting to pay a shitload of money, would not go
― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 23 June 2007 17:53 (sixteen years ago) link
Grrrrrr not fair mutter mumble stupid australia.
― Trayce, Saturday, 23 June 2007 23:21 (sixteen years ago) link
10-16 Houston, TX - Toyota Center 10-17 Dallas, TX - American Airlines Center
MMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNEEEEEEEE
― stephen, Sunday, 24 June 2007 00:07 (sixteen years ago) link
They already announced Australian dates! Quit yer whinin'.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 24 June 2007 00:15 (sixteen years ago) link
Actually *I* need to whine -- I've just realized that unless I'm very wrong their SoCal dates are exactly when I'll be in Hawaii. >:-( Bah. Well, at least actually seen them a few times.
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 24 June 2007 00:17 (sixteen years ago) link
*checks* Phew -- it's the week after. Yay, happy mood again!
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 24 June 2007 00:21 (sixteen years ago) link
No Ned you misunderstand - we're not getting 65dos (only one of my favourite ever bands atm) as a support :(
Also, $120!?
Ive never seen the Cure live. I probably never will.
― Trayce, Sunday, 24 June 2007 00:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Clarity. They're one of those names I've heard about but have not heard.

How very them :)
― Trayce, Sunday, 24 June 2007 00:47 (sixteen years ago) link
(It'd be even better if it was real but hey.)
― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 24 June 2007 00:50 (sixteen years ago) link
The $120 has scared me away too. I've seen them 3 times over the years, the last at RLaver and while it was THE CURE, RLaver sux big time as a venue.
― SeekAltRoute, Monday, 25 June 2007 09:27 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah its a fucking TENNIS ARENA man. Ugh. Talk about complete lack of atmosphere.
― Trayce, Monday, 25 June 2007 09:47 (sixteen years ago) link
Still its probably better than Festy Hall.
Any word on how much ticket will be in the US?
― matt2, Monday, 25 June 2007 13:34 (sixteen years ago) link
I, for one, don't think US ticket prices matter one little bit. I missed Curiosa (first tour I'd missed since 1992), there's no way I'm missing them this time.*
* I can say this with confidence because I know my wife's performance schedule and she's not onstage that day; also my band hasn't scheduled a gig for that day and I will make myself completely unavailable to play if necessary.
― HI DERE, Monday, 25 June 2007 13:36 (sixteen years ago) link
Have they ever played the Hollywood Bowl? I'd go to see that.
― baaderonixx, Monday, 25 June 2007 13:46 (sixteen years ago) link
(I have to say this is one of those times where I'm glad I don't live in the Twin Cities anymore.)
― HI DERE, Monday, 25 June 2007 13:48 (sixteen years ago) link
First time there, I think.

how I wish afi weren't on this bill in SF
― akm, Monday, 25 June 2007 14:25 (sixteen years ago) link
hahaha
I would sit through AFI, probably. They're not so bad in small doses.

My God, there must be sth seriously wrong with the album for it to be postponed so many times...
― baaderonixx, Thursday, 5 July 2007 07:52 (sixteen years ago) link
The thing that struck me most was how accessible the album is. Everything from Kiss Me to the selftitled album taken a long time for me to digest but 4:13 Dream was as easy as Boys Don't Cry.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 4 August 2017 20:39 (six years ago) link
When I heard 'Freakshow' for the first time, I thought "shit, haven't heard them do a song like this for a while!"
― more Allegro-like (Turrican), Friday, 4 August 2017 20:50 (six years ago) link
Also, Andy was not able to play the triplets on '100 Years' either, so he must be crap, right?

That is indeed Boris' first ever show with the band.
Not that he's playing the triplets, either. But, carry on.

^ Pedantically cunty post.

I heard that Jason can't even play a triplet.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 5 August 2017 13:52 (six years ago) link
I checked and that's actually Boris' 10th or so show with the Cure - but mostly pretty impressive stuff. Haven't heard the few with Vince from Psychedelic Furs.

lotta wacky bob vocalizations but it totally sweeps me away anyway
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 23:41 (six years ago) link
i bought all three singles but never really listened to them before, so thanks Brad.
i have been listening to 4:13 Dream non-stop since we have been on a Cure kick on ILM. still not a fan of the production but really, really like this album. if they cut a couple of songs off it, what could have been. i would say their best since Wish.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 16 August 2017 00:15 (six years ago) link
Bee, there were four singles from this album!
'The Only One' b/w 'NY Trip''Freakshow' b/w 'All Kinds of Stuff''The Perfect Boy' b/w 'Without You''Sleep When I'm Dead' b/w 'Down Under'
'Without You' and 'Down Under' are fantastic.

All Kinds of Stuff rules, too

I'm not really a fan. Good b-side fodder, though.
― he doesn't need to be racist about it though. (Austin), Wednesday, 16 August 2017 03:43 (six years ago) link
I mean, I liked it better when they recorded it in 1986 and it was called 'A Japanese Dream.'
