The Cure Is Playing Their First Portland-Area Show in 20 Years—Here's How to Get Presale Tickets

Fridays everybody gets to be in love—today it's just you people

The Cure is Coming to Portland… ish.

On May 28, the great white Gothic teddy bear will play the amphitheater in Ridgefield, Washington—the first Portland-area show in almost 20 years. They last played the Moda in 1997. It's even on a Saturday night, so there's an ever so-slight chance you get to hear 10:15 Saturday night at, well… you get it.

Tickets go officially on sale tomorrow, Friday, March 25.

But while Friday everybody's in love, today it's just you. Presale tickets through LiveNation are already happening.

The password is NATION, and this is your link.

We just looked, and if you want a $67 ticket to see Robert Smith and the band? It's yours for $67. Plus fees—terrible, horrible, Ticketmaster fees.
