The Cure today teased fans with a somewhat cryptic announcement of what appears to be a planned Dublin concert next June — details still TBA — following frontman Robert Smith’s declaration that the band will be “headlining around 20 festivals next summer — mostly in Europe.”
The band today tweeted “Dublin. June 8th. Save the date. Full details coming soon!” No further information has been revealed. This follows a tweet from Smith himself last week telling fans to keep an eye on The Cure’s website and Facebook page for announcements about European festival dates.
