The Cure head out on a fresh run of European dates in summer 2026. The band’s schedule includes outdoor shows in Cardiff and Belfast plus multiple festival appearances across the UK and continental Europe, according to current listings on setlist and ticket platforms.
Where The Cure play in summer 2026
For 2026, The Cure concentrate on the UK and Europe, with dates clustered in late June and early July. The run includes a headline appearance at Blackweir Fields in Cardiff on June 24, 2026, followed by Belsonic in Belfast on June 28, 2026.
Beyond the UK, the group are billed at several European festivals under the umbrella of a wider summer 2026 touring schedule, with typical shows running well over two hours. Fans can expect career-spanning sets that move from early post-punk material to late-period chart staples.
No U.S. dates yet announced
So far, the 2026 routing centers on UK and European cities, with no U.S. dates listed on the major tour and setlist databases as of late June 2026. That means American fans will need to travel if they want to see these particular summer shows up close.
The strategy mirrors previous cycles where The Cure focused on large outdoor venues and festival slots in Europe, then followed with North American legs at a later stage, such as the extensive U.S. amphitheater and arena run in 2023 reported by U.S. music media.
