    Goth rock gods The Cure head to Houston on first Texas stop of new summer 2023 tour

    Robert Smith and The Cure will play Toyota Center.

    The Cure/Facebook

    Legendary English rock band The Cure is coming to Houston, part of a North American tour that makes its first Texas stop at Toyota Center on Friday, May 12.

    Called Shows of a Lost World, the tour launches on May 10 in New Orleans, and including two other dates in Texas: Dallas on May 13 and Austin on May 14.

    The tour also includes two 3-night stands — at Madison Square Garden in New York and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles — before wrapping up in Miami on July 1. The majority of the venues will be outdoor, including the Dallas date at Dos Equis Pavilion.

    The tour supports a new album that has been in the works since 2019, called Songs of a Lost World, which is forecast to come out sometime this spring.

    This year marks The Cure's 45th anniversary after their formation in 1978. They rose to fame in the late '80s/early '90s with top-selling albums Disintegration and Wish, featuring indelible hits like "Lullaby," "Lovesong," and "Never Enough."

    The last time The Cure came to this side of the pond was 2016, when they played the same three Texas cities. Their last visit before that was in 2008, giving fans precious few opportunities to see them play live.

    The touring lineup includes frontman Robert Smith, the band's only original member, plus guitarist Reeves Gabrels, bassist Simon Gallup, drummer Jason Cooper, keyboardist Roger O’Donnell, and drummer Jason Cooper, plus the surprise return of guitarist/keyboardist Perry Bamonte, who played in the band from 1990-2005.

    Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, March 15 via Ticketmaster Verified Fan Sale, which requires registration to access. Fans can register through March 13 at 10 am Pacific Time.

    In an email sent out to fans, Smith stated that "The Cure have agreed all ticket prices, and apart from a few Hollywood Bowl charity seats, there will be no ‘platinum’ or ‘dynamically priced’ tickets on this tour."

    The tour dates are as follows:

    • May 10 New Orleans, Smoothie King Center
    • May 12 Houston, Toyota Center
    • May 13 Dallas, Dos Equis Pavilion
    • May 14 Austin, Moody Center

    Billy Strings will perform in Sugar Land on December 9.

    Cool dads across Houston are circling December 9 on their calendars. That’s when bluegrass artist Billy Strings will perform at the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land.

    Announced this week, the Houston-area concert is part of a series of dates that begins in Denver in September and ends with the tour’s only other Texas stop in Fort Worth on December 11. Strings will also appear at Willie Nelson's Fourth of July Picnic in Austin on July 4.

    The artist has helped revive bluegrass with his masterful guitar playing and improvisational jams. By incorporating psychedelic sounds, the Grammy winner has drawn a wide fanbase. The setlist is expected to include favorites such as “Dust in a Baggie.”

    Strings’ most recent album, Highway Prayers, was released in 2024. It earned him his second Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album.

    Tickets for the Sugar Land performance go on sale at 10 am on Friday, April 3 via ATG Tickets.
