Yeah, I think this is likely - I've already seen some fan speculation/rumours that they'll be headlining Bonnaroo which also explains why the rest of the dates won't be announced until January when the festival line-up will be released.

Here's hoping there's a Portland (or nearby) date, I think the current line-up of the band sound fantastic.

No, but I would be shocked if you couldn't get from him to one of my older cousins in less than 3 degrees.

The Cure will be playing 27 shows in 22 North America cities next Spring, their first major tour of the continent since 2008.
During the past 7 years the band has performed a number of 'Reflections' shows in LA and NYC, and headlined most of the major festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bottlerock, Osheaga, two Austin City Limits, three Riots and a Voodoo...
"THE CURE TOUR 2016" will present Robert Smith (voice/guitar), Simon Gallup (bass), Jason Cooper (drums), Roger O'Donnell (keys) and Reeves Gabrels (guitar) as they explore 37 years of Cure songs, mixing hits, rarities, favourites and as yet unreleased tracks in a brand new stage production that promises to be the 'must see' show of the year!
Support on all dates will be The Twilight Sad.

There's been many more tour dates announced since those above but I presume anyone interested is well aware of them already.
Good new interview with Reeves Gabrels in Guitar Player magazine, this brief quote gives some insight into how the band manage to play such mammoth sets every night but remain so consistent:
Is Robert a good band director?
Absolutely. I’ve never been happier in a band than I am now. We record all of our shows, and Robert listens to every song. If something’s a little squirrelly on one night, then he lets it go. But if something’s wrong consistently, he’ll sit us down and we’ll fix it.
There's been a Hawaii show added in July now, I'm hoping Australian dates might slot in around there somewhere.

Maybe Splendour. July 22-24.

That's the rumour I've seen doing the rounds, I hope it works out (and that there's a bunch of non-festival shows too, of course).

I had a bit of a tiff with the trouble 'n strife the other night and ended up going for a drive around Perth for about an hour and a half, by myself, generally pissed off. I had a Cure mixer playing and I gotta say it just fully hit the spot.
Really learned to love this band over the past few years. Hope they come to Perth.

I've never seen them and I can only hope they don't make me go to a damn music festival to see them. I want the full, 3+ hour Cure experience.

I saw that. It isn't exactly Portland (it's the same place PJ played in 2009, about 30km from Portland) but I'll be going just the same.

Cofirmed for Splendour, more Australian dates coming soon!
I hope I can see at least a couple of shows, work circumstances permitting.
