The Cure have officially lifted the veil on their next monumental chapter with the announcement of the Faith & Fear World Tour, a journey that promises to dive deep into the band’s shadowy, emotional core. Known for transforming melancholy into something strangely beautiful, the band is set to bring their signature blend of gothic atmosphere, romantic despair, and sonic intensity back to the global stage. This tour is shaping up to be more than a greatest-hits run; it feels like a meditation on belief, doubt, love, and loss, themes that have always lived at the heart of The Cure’s music.
Fans can expect a setlist that leans heavily into the darker corners of the catalog, weaving together classics with deeper cuts that echo the emotional weight suggested by the tour’s name. From cavernous basslines to shimmering guitar textures and Robert Smith’s unmistakable voice cutting through the fog, the Faith & Fear World Tour is designed to feel immersive and almost ritualistic. Longtime followers and newer listeners alike will recognize this as The Cure at their most honest—unafraid to linger in sadness, yet always finding beauty within it.
Cities across multiple continents are set to host the tour, with major stops planned in Europe, North America, South America, and select dates in Asia and Oceania. Iconic venues in cities such as London, Paris, Berlin, New York, Los Angeles, São Paulo, Tokyo, and Sydney are all part of the global route, underscoring the band’s enduring international reach. Each night is expected to feel unique, shaped by extended performances, subtle setlist changes, and the intimate connection The Cure have always maintained with their audience.
The full list of tour dates and confirmed cities was officially revealed on March 18, 2026, marking one of the most anticipated announcements of the year for alternative and gothic rock fans. As anticipation continues to build, the Faith & Fear World Tour stands as a reminder of why The Cure remain timeless—still capable of turning shared sorrow into a communal, unforgettable live experience decades into their legendary career.
