ONWARDS..."

    PLEASE let this be the next Trilogy series and not a "greatest radio hits" show like North America always seems to get!!

      25 dates with a support? Can't see it being a trilogy show, would make it sstupidly long but might be wrong. I was hoping more of a tour in support of a new album (Ha!)

      Yeah, seriously doubt this will be a "trilogy" type of show. Not for that many shows. It would kill them. :)

      "Yes, that's right, it will be another trilogy tour", Robert Smith could be hears saying. "We will play Wild Mood Swings, The Cure, and 4:13 Dream. We really wanted to give our newer FAN something HE could look forward to."

    Wild and unsubstantiated speculation ahead...but interesting that the band logo is from the 4:13 Dream Era and the canvass, abstract artwork also looks like it is from that era, no references to The Top, Kiss Me or Head on the Door album art...does this mean it could be 4:14 Scream Tour?

    Fantastic news. Yay! Craig, I'm confused about the presale code for NYC. On your prior post (Robert's ALL CAPS) the code is listed as "DISINTEGRATION" and then here on this post it's "thecure2016". Cut and paste error?

      But just to be clear, this is fantastic news and I would GLADLY drive to chicago to see the greatest alternative band the world has ever seen! My favorite band for life :) Would love to see a new Trilogy show, but given that I love virtually ALL their music, I would be okay with a show based around their hits... Although, I am more the Prayers for Rain, Same Deep Water as You, Short Term Effect, Cold, Faith, and other darker songs guy ;) But there is basically no song I dislike by this legendary band.

      yeah, I second this. I'll be getting Chicago tickets anyway, and if Detroit is announced in Jan, I'll make the decision to sell (to someone here of course) or perhaps go to both. Had to travel to Cleveland last time and while it was a memorable experience, I'd really like a home state show this time out.

      Just go to the Ticketmaster link at the time of the presale, enter the presale code, get your tickets.

      Just know that presale tickets are very limited, and will likely sell out quickly. That's fine, the rest of tickets, the vast majority of them, will then go on sale Friday morning.

      No, the Chicago presale is on Oct. 8th, Thursday. I will have all of the info posted on the page that morning. All you will need to do is to be signed into your account (if you don't have one, make it BEFORE Thursday!), follow the presale link, enter the presale code, and hope you were quick enough.

    I want to second that I think the artwork maybe does tie into 4:14 Scream... maybe a double push with WISH remastered would be great.

    Anyways, I was fortunate enough to see The Cure on their previous trip to The Hollywood Bowl and their performance of Underneath the Stars was simply magic. Does anybody have any ideas or speculation why it doesn't show up more often in recent setlists?
