The Cure are planning more live shows, and plenty of new music. NME reports that Robert Smith has promised tour dates for 2027 full of new songs, telling listeners to watch this space

Smith spoke on Nick Grimshaw's BBC 6 Music show after The Cure were shortlisted for 6 Music's Artist of the Year. That kind of recognition shows how strong their recent work has been

He said two new albums have been recorded. The first is more dismal than Songs of a Lost World, while the second is his idea of Cure Pop

Thirteen songs were recorded at Rockfield Studios in March 2025, and none of them have been played live yet. Smith also hinted that celebrations could continue until the band's 50th anniversary in 2028

After years of waiting for Songs of a Lost World, two more albums in quick succession would be a gift for fans. The mix of a dark record and a pop record sounds very Cure, since they have always moved between the two. Hearing the new songs live will be a big reason to get tickets

Which side of The Cure do you prefer, the gloomy or the pop? And will you try to get tickets in 2027?

Watch this space is a teasing answer. Fans will be refreshing websites for weeks

Ticket demand will be huge. Getting in will be tough. I will be trying anyway

Having two albums recorded already is great news. After the long wait for the last one, I did not expect more so soon. Smith seems inspired. Hopefully that streak keeps going

Their live shows are legendary for length. Three hours is normal for them. New songs might make it even longer

Nobody complains. Every minute is worth it. Bring comfortable shoes
