The Cure are returning to North America for the first time in four years. The group announced a 2023 headlining tour Thursday that kicks off on May 10 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and wraps up on July 1 at Miami-Dade Arena in Miami.

Tickets for the Shows of a Lost World Tour will be available via Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan Pre-Sale HERE.

The Cure’s last full-length LP was 2008’s 4:13 Dream. The band has reportedly been working on new music for years, but have not released any new material. Frontman Robert Smith offered an updated in 2019 after the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, stating, “If I’m optimistic, it [album] will be finished by the end of the summer.”

Last year, the band reissued their watershed 1992 album Wish in celebration of its 30th anniversary.
