Just days after The Cure announced a new run of 2026 tour dates, the band has confirmed some new music to go along with it, quietly updating their website with a note that the band has recorded “13 more songs” for a new album.
In proper The Cure fashion, the news came not in a blast of press releases, but with a modest update to the “bio” section of their website. After noting that the goth icons dropped Songs from a Lost World in November 2024, it goes on to say that in “March 2025 the band went back into Rockfield Studios to record 13 more songs for a follow up album.”
It unclear whether this new album is the same project Smith teased in an earlier Radio X interview, where he described a companion to Songs of a Lost World featuring sadder, more melancholic material, some of which was written as far back as 2016.
That’s not the only project on the way from The Cure, however. The bio goes on to mention earlier this year, The Cure joined Olivia Rodrigo on stage at Glastonbury “before heading back into the studio to help re-edit and re-mix The Show of a Lost World film.” So fans should have a new concert experience to look forward to in the coming months.
