Legendary band The Cure announced this morning that they are embarking on a 30-show U.S. tour, and Phoenix is on the schedule.
Robert Smith and the rest of the post-punk band will take the stage at Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale on Thursday, May 18. (For everyone who can’t keep up with the many venue name changes that have happened in the past couple of years, that’s the former Gila River Arena.)
It’ll be the first Cure show in Phoenix in nearly 15 years; the last time they played was June 2008 at the venue currently known as Arizona Financial Theatre. They’re touring in support of their upcoming album, Songs of a Lost World. The Twilight Sad are the opening act.
Tickets will be available via Ticketmaster Verified Fan Sale on Wednesday, March 15, and will require registration to access. Fans can register for up to five different shows. Registration closes Monday, March 13, at 8 a.m. Arizona time.
