The long-awaited Twilight Hearts Tour by The Cure promises to be one of the standout live music events of 2026, drawing fans from around the world to celebrate the legendary post-punk band’s enduring legacy. After years of speculation and anticipation following the release of their acclaimed recent work, the band has revealed a major summer tour that will take them across Europe’s biggest stages and festivals. What makes this run particularly exciting is how it blends headline performances with appearances at famed festivals, creating a sprawling itinerary that feels both grand and deeply personal for fans.
Kicking off their summer journey in Italy, the tour sees The Cure taking the spotlight at Visarno Arena in Florence as part of Firenze Rocks, before moving through iconic UK events like the Isle of Wight Festival. From there, the band will continue to weave its way through an eclectic mix of cities that capture the spirit of their music — from the atmospheric spaces of Marlay Park in Dublin to the festival energy of Rock Werchter in Belgium. Each venue offers its own unique vibe, promising unforgettable moments for those who have followed the band for decades as well as newcomers discovering their sound live for the first time.
Fans will also get to experience The Cure in the heart of British and Irish summer concert culture, with standout shows in Cardiff’s Blackweir Fields, Ormeau Park in Belfast, and vibrant festival settings in Göteborg’s Slottsskogen and Edinburgh’s Royal Highland Showgrounds. There is a palpable sense of celebration around these dates, not just because of the band’s storied history, but also due to the way these performances are being woven into some of Europe’s most atmospheric outdoor settings, ensuring that each stop on the tour feels like a communal experience rather than just a concert.
For anyone planning to be part of the Twilight Hearts Tour, the known dates span much of the summer, starting with June 14 in Florence, Italy, followed by key festival and headline performances through August 23 in Edinburgh, UK. Across these months, cities like Newport, Cardiff, Dublin, Belfast, Werchter, Göteborg, and Manchester will pulse with the band’s expansive catalog of hits and deep cuts alike — a testament to The Cure’s lasting influence and the passion of their global fanbase.
