The dates will mark The Cure's first UK gigs since their 2019 Glasgow show and their first European tour since 2016.

It's now 14 years since the last Cure album, 2008's 4:13 Dream and frontman Robert Smith claimed that new material has been completed and that there are enough songs for two albums: "One of them’s very, very doom and gloom and the other one isn’t," he told Apple Music 1 last June.

However, the singer also hinted that the album could be their very last.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, Smith said: "The new Cure stuff is very emotional. It’s 10 years of life distilled into a couple of hours of intense stuff.

"And I can’t think we’ll ever do anything else. I definitely can’t do this again."

It's not the first time that Smith has threatened to call time on The Cure. 2000's Bloodflowers was their final album for the Fiction label and was widely touted as their final piece of work. However, three years later, they went into the studio to work with producer Ross Robinson on what became their 2004 self-titled LP.

Last month, Robert Smith made an appearance with Scottish trio CHVRCHES at the NME Awards to perform their collaboration How Not To Drown.
