The Cure have announced four shows at the Sydney Opera House to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1989 album Disintegration.
The gigs will take place on May 24th, 25th, 27th and 28th, just before Robert Smith’s huge spring and summer which will see his band visit pretty much every major European festival going, including InMusic, Rock Werchter, NOS Alive, Mad Cool and Flow.
There’s UK and Ireland appearances booked too, at Malahide Castle in Dublin and the Summer Sessions event in Glasgow.
