What is it about '80s rock icons and Madison Square Garden? First Morrissey cancels and then reschedules at Hammerst
ein Ballroom. Now, The Cure have pushed back their Sept. 23 date at The Garden to April or May of next year.
"The schedule as it stands only gives us a couple of weeks to finish our new double album before we hit the road again, and we know this just isn't enough time to complete the project to our genuine satisfaction," the band said in a statement. "We also want to create a new live show for North America, and incorporate new songs... and we need time and focus to do this."
Current tickets will be honored at next year's show or they can be returned to the point of purchase for a refund.
The Cure's new album is set for release in October. The band plans to go through with its appearance at the Download Festival in San Francisco on Oct. 6 and three shows in Mexico City on Oct. 20-22.
