The Cure at Marlay Park

What to Expect

The Cure return to Ireland for the first time in four years with a headline show at Marlay Park on Friday 26 June 2026. One of rock music’s most enduring and beloved acts, Robert Smith and his bandmates have been playing to enormous audiences across Europe and North America on their ongoing tour, and the Dublin date is one of the most anticipated concerts of the year.

Support comes from a stellar bill featuring The Twilight Sad, Just Mustard and Stella and The Dreaming, making this an event that rewards arriving early. The Cure are famous for playing exceptionally long sets, routinely stretching past two and a half hours, which means outstanding value for a ticket that also includes four acts across the afternoon and evening.

Gates open at 4:00 PM. The standing-only outdoor format at Marlay Park suits The Cure’s expansive, atmospheric sound perfectly. This is a show that will be talked about for years.
