(antiMusic) It's a good thing that boys don't cry because The Cure delivered bad news to North American fans last month when they announced that their tour that was set to kick off this month has been pushed back until next spring so the band can remain in the studio. The good news is that the new dates have been announced and they will be hitting our shores next month for a few special shows including the Download Festival in Northern California.
The new tour will take place May and June of next year instead of September and October as originally expected but fans that hold tickets to the original dates are told to hold on to them as they will be valid at the new dates.
The three night stand in Mexico City that was part of the original tour schedule was not cancelled and neither was the Download appearance which takes place on October 6th.
The new North American tour is set to kick off on May 9th in Fairfax, Va and will wrap up at Madison Square Garden on June 20th.
