They've asked fans to "save the date"

The Cure have announced their intention to play a huge gig in Dublin in June 2019.

The long-running Crawley band celebrated their 40th anniversary back in July with a special show in London’s Hyde Park as part of the BST concert series. They also curated and played at this year’s Meltdown Festival.

The Cure are already well into plotting their 2019 gig itinerary, with the band looking to play around 20 festivals – mostly in Europe – next year.

One of those dates will definitely be held in Dublin. Announcing their intentions to play in the Irish city in 2019, The Cure told their fans on social media this evening (September 24) to “save the date” of June 8.

Last month, The Cure were confirmed as headliners of the touring Rock On The Lawns Festival in South Africa. Those dates will take place in March, and will mark the first time that The Cure have played in the country.

Back in April, Cure frontman Robert Smith addressed the prospect of the band headlining Glastonbury in 2019 – admitting that The Cure “haven’t had a happy history” with the Worthy Farm festival over the years.
