The band will close the festival on Sunday 5 July 2026.
Their debut at Rock Werchter dates back to 1981. Over the years, they have performed at the festival a total of seven times, the most recent being in 2019.

"The Cure continues to resonate with and inspire generations. It is a rare phenomenon in the music world."
Rock Werchter will take place from Thursday 2 July to Sunday 5 July. Tickets will go on sale at 10:00 on Friday 21 November.
