Formed in 1978, The Cure have sold over 30 million albums worldwide, headlined Glastonbury four times, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019. They remain one of the most influential and enduring British bands in modern music history.
In parallel with the film announcement, The Cure’s UK & European 2026 Tour continues to grow — now spanning 22 dates across the continent, including headline park shows and major festival appearances from Spain to Sweden. The itinerary includes three consecutive nights at Berlin’s Wuhlheide (July 10–12) and two UK events, already marked as sold out.
