The Primavera ’26 line-up marks the third European headline set for The Cure next year, following the announcements for Rock En Seine and Nova Rock.
Robert Smith and co. haven’t played live since their ‘Songs Of A Lost World’ album launch show at London’s Troxy last November. With news of their upcoming return to the stage, fans are speculating that a new album could be coming soon.
Smith previously revealed that The Cure had another new record that’s “virtually finished” – with a third new LP on the way too. He has also shared that he wanted to complete one of these projects before the band hit the road again.
The xx, who haven’t performed together since 2018, recently hinted at their long-awaited return and have been confirmed for Coachella 2026 in April.
Gorillaz, meanwhile, will release their new album ‘The Mountain’ in March and are heading on a UK and Ireland arena tour next year – including a massive show at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They dropped the single ‘The Happy Dictator’ earlier this month, following a run of special shows in the capital.
This year’s edition of Primavera Sound Barcelona was headlined by Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter. The event also hosted slots from LCD Soundsystem, FKA Twigs, Haim, Jamie xx, Fontaines D.C., Beach House, IDLES, Turnstile and more.
