The Cure announce a new European tour for next autumn with 30 shows in 17 countries: their first major arena tour on the continent since 2008!
Colossal, monumental, immense, The Cure have been missing from Italy since 2012, and the news that thousands of fans have been waiting for is finally here! The English band, led by Robert Smith, will in fact be in Italy, for three unmissable concerts, at the end of 2016. The dates announced are as follows:
29 October 2016 Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna)
30 October 2016 Palalottomatica, Rome
1 November 2016 Mediolanum Forum di Assago (Milan)
Concert tickets, produced and organised by Barley Arts, will be available from 10 a.m. tomorrow, Tuesday 24 November, on the TicketOne.
Over the last 7 years The Cure have played a number of high-profile shows in London, have been headliners at major European festivals, including Roskilde, Werchter, Reading e Leeds, Pinkpop, Hurricane e Southside, Paleo, Vieilles Charrues, BBK, Belfort, Optimus Alive!, Spring, Frequency, Electric Picnic, Bestival and many others.
The tour will see Robert Smith (voice/guitar), Simon Gallup (low), Jason Cooper (battery), Roger O'Donnell (keyboards) and Reeves Gabrels (guitar) presenting 37 years of songs by Cures with their hits, remixes, rarities and previously unreleased tracks.
