The Cure to perform at UTEP’s Don Haskins Center in May
The Cure is bringing its 2016 North American tour to El Paso in the spring — its first major tour of the continent since 2008.
Tickets for The Cure’s Tuesday, May 17 concert at the Don Haskins Center go on sale at 10 a.m. this Friday, Nov. 13 through Ticketmaster.
Ticket prices range between $19.25 and $69.25. A fan club and venue presale will take place on Thursday, Nov. 12 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The opening band will be The Twilight Sad.
The Cure played its first concert in El Paso in October 2013, a show that had 41 songs and lasted more than three hours.
“‘The Cure Tour 2016’ will present Robert Smith (voice/guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Roger O’Donnell (keys) and Reeves Gabrels (guitar) as they explore 37 years of Cure songs, mixing hits, rarities, favourites and as yet unreleased tracks in a brand new stage production that promises to be the ‘must see’ show of the year,” according to the tour announcement on the band’s Facebook page.
