The Cure Confirm They’ve Recorded 13 Songs For A New Album

The Cure have confirmed that they have recorded 13 new songs and are gearing up to release a concert film of their Troxy show last year.

Eagle-eyed The Cure fans spotted this morning that the bio section of their website has been updated to include new updates on their 2025 activity, and teases new music to come in 2026. The bio would also mention their remix album of their 2024 comeback record, Mixes of a Lost World, and frontman Robert Smith’s guest appearance during Olivia Rodrigo‘s Glastonbury headline set.

But, most importantly of all, the bio has confirmed that the band is hard at work on a follow-up album and confirmed that they have recorded 13 new tracks.

The bio states: “In March 2025 the band went back into Rockfield Studios to record 13 more songs for a follow-up album”.

It also reveals that after Smith’s recent Glastonbury appearance, he went “back into the studio to help re-edit and re-mix The Show Of A Lost World film…”

At the time of releasing Songs of A Lost World, Smith admitted the band had another album that was “virtually finished”, and was gearing up to lay the foundation for a third album as well. So, it’s no surprise the acclaimed goth band is readying up for a new release.

To add more fuel to the hype machine, Smith had previously shared that he would be reluctant to head back on the road until at least one of the follow-ups to their 2024 record had been completed. Well, in recent weeks, The Crue have been announcing several new shows for 2026, including Primavera Sound and a slew of UK and Ireland headline shows.

Sadly, there’s been no mention of an Australia tour this time around. Notably, the band would skip Japan, New Zealand and Australia during their Shows of a Lost World tour also.

Regardless, it’s exciting to know that The Cure may be releasing new music sooner than expected, especially after their 16-year hiatus.

In a recent interview with NME, Smith shared he imagines the band to be celebrating all the way up to their 50th anniversary.

“I’m 70 in 2029, and that’s the 50th anniversary of the first Cure album,” Smith said. “That’s it, that really is it. If I make it that far, that’s it. In the intervening time, I’d like us to include playing concerts as part of the overall plan of what we’re going to do. I’ve loved it; the last 10 years of playing shows have been the best 10 years of being in the band. It pisses all over the other 30 years! It’s been great.”
