TOBiAS Celebrates ‘The Cure’ on Tour in Queensland 2026

TOBiAS Celebrates the Music of The Cure

A Captivating Live Tribute Experience Not to Be Missed

Following a string of sold-out performances, Sunshine Coast music sensation TOBiAS is taking his acclaimed tribute show, TOBiAS Celebrates The Cure, to new stages across Queensland in 2026, with plans to expand into NSW and Victoria later this year.

After a sold-out show at Norton Music Factory in February 2026, the production continues its momentum with upcoming performances at:

  • The Coolangatta Hotel – Friday 27 March 2026
  • The Triffid – Friday 10 April 2026

The Show

This immersive live experience pays homage to one of the most influential bands in modern music. Blending nostalgia, artistry, and emotional depth, the show delivers a powerful tribute to The Cure’s legacy.

Hailing from the Sunshine Coast, TOBiAS has earned acclaim for his rich musicality, compelling stage presence, and deep emotional connection to the music he performs. Backed by a powerhouse ensemble of top-tier musicians, he brings over four decades of The Cure’s catalogue to life.

Audiences can expect faithful renditions of iconic hits including:

  • Just Like Heaven
  • Lovesong
  • Boys Don’t Cry

Alongside carefully selected deep cuts that highlight the band’s evolution and emotional range.

About The Cure

With over 30 million records sold worldwide, The Cure have been a defining force in alternative rock since forming in 1978. Their career includes 14 studio albums, two UK #1 records (Wish, 1992 and Songs of a Lost World, 2024), and countless enduring hits.

Artist Quote

“This isn’t just a covers gig,” says TOBiAS.
“It’s a celebration of the emotional connection people have with this music. I’ve poured my heart into every detail, from the arrangements to the atmosphere, because The Cure’s music deserves that level of respect. It really is an experience not to be missed by Cure fans.”
