Robert Smith Says The Cure Will Perform Songs from New Album on Tour

Smith took to social media to boldly answer a few queries about The Cure’s upcoming tour schedule, namely additions to the tour itinerary, his eagerness to play live once again, and introducing new songs from the upcoming album on the tour (the band just announced that they’ve added a third night at London’s SSE Arena at Wembley in December, and those concerts wrap up their fall European/UK tour).

After addressing those concerns about when The Cure would announce tour dates for the rest of the world, such as North America, Smith then went on to clarify that there will, in fact, be no new tour if there is no new album, declaring:

“WE WILL BE PERFORMING SONGS FROM A NEW ALBUM WHEN WE NEXT PLAY… OR WE WON’T BE PLAYING AT ALL! AND I REALLY WANT TO PLAY… SO THAT MEANS… X”

He then enthusiastically added:

“…IT MEANS MY DESIRE TO RELEASE A NEW ALBUM IS OVERWHELMING! X”
