Time to learn how to put mascara on again because the prince of England’s gloomy post-punk scene is coming to Tampa this summer as part of The Cure’s first North American tour in seven years.

Tickets to see Robert Smith and The Cure play Amalie Arena in Tampa on Thursday, June 29 go on sale next Friday, March 17 at 10 a.m. and start at just $21.25.

 That low ticket price is no typo either.

Per usual until the feds breakup the Live Nation-Ticketmaster relationship, registration with Verified Fan will be required to access tickets. Online, the band said that, “We have priced tickets to benefit fans and our efforts to block scalpers and limited inflated resale prices are being supported by our ticketing partners.”

What’s more is the The Cure could have a new album in tow.  Smith has been teasing the record, which he initially thought would see release last fall.

Twilight Sad opens for The Cure in Tampa, and the only other Florida show on the run is the official tour-closer in Miami on July 1.
