The Cure announces 2008 tour dates

The CureThe good news: The Cure has announced its 2008 tour dates.

The bad news: The band won't reach New York until June.

That's an almost nine-month wait for fans who were revved up to see The Cure on Sept. 23 at Madison Square Garden. The Cure postponed this year's 19-date tour to allow more time to finish its upcoming double album, which still doesn't have an official title.

Eighteen of the 19 shows have been rescheduled, with the lone exception of the Seattle show. Instead, The Cure will play the Sasquatch! music festival in George, Wash.

"We apologize again for the inconvenience and upset the original postponement caused," the band said in a statement, "and will make sure that the new shows are more than worth the wait..."

The band's North American tour ends June 20 at Madison Square Garden.
