This is the third date The Cure have announced for 2026, and hopefully another sign that their next album is on the way. For The xx, it’s the second show they’ve announced since 2018, following Coachella. My Bloody Valentine are also about to begin touring again for the first time in seven years, and this set follows their announcement of shows in The UK and Japan. Rilo Kiley and Texas is the Reason are both officially continuing their reunions into 2026: this is the first show each have announced next year. And Beverly Glenn-Copeland continues to do shows with his partner Elizabeth Copeland following his diagnosis with dementia in 2024.
