The Cure will perform four live shows at the Sydney Opera House to mark the 30th anniversary of their album Disintegration.
Teased as the “world premiere of these performances”, the band will presumably stage more shows in other locations down the line.
Disintegration is the band’s eighth studio album, released on 2 May 1989 by Fiction Records. It marked an integral return to the band’s trademark introspective gothic style, while also marking the band’s commercial peak, charting at number three in the UK and at number 12 in the US.
The single “Lovesong” also reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
The band are set to play the Sydney Opera House on 24, 25, 27, 28 May. Tickets are offered via a ballot on the Sydney Opera House website with tickets being released on Thursday, 28 February.
In December of last year, frontman Robert Smith confirmed that The Cure are set to release their first album in a decade. They’re also rumoured to be headliners at Glastonbury 2019.
