The Cure has nailed down a June 22 release date for its 13th studio album. The as-yet-untitled set will be issued by Geffen via producer Ross Robinson’s I Am imprint, to which the Cure signed last year after parting ways with longtime label Fiction/Elektra.
The Robert Smith-led band will perform the album’s yet-to-be-revealed first single April 30 on NBC’s “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,” the same day the quintet will be inducted into the Hollywood Rockwalk on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.
Two days later, the Cure will headline the second night of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. A North American tour is expected to run from late July to September with several up-and-coming support acts clearly influenced by the Cure’s sound, but a spokesperson stresses the lineup and routing are still being finalized.
