TOBiAS Celebrates The Cure: 2026 Queensland & NSW Tour

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 celebrated tribute show, Tobias Celebrates The Cure, to new stages across QLD and NSW in 2026, marking the first time the show heads to NSW.

Following a string of successful performances in 2026, including a sold-out show at Norton Music Factory on the Sunshine Coast, acclaimed performances at The Coolangatta Hotel on the Gold Coast and The Triffid in Brisbane, the band continues to build momentum with upcoming shows across Queensland and beyond.

This immersive live experience pays homage to one of the most influential bands of our time, The Cure, blending nostalgia, artistry and heartfelt performance into one unforgettable night.

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, TOBiAS brings over four decades of The Cure’s iconic catalogue to life, from haunting ballads and post-punk anthems to synth-laced pop gems.

The Cure have sold over 30 million records worldwide and, since forming in 1978, released 14 studio albums and numerous singles that have become alternative rock classics. The band has achieved two UK Number 1 albums in their career, Wish in 1992 and Songs of a Lost World in 2024, along with countless Top 10 hits that have made them one of the most influential and enduring acts in modern music.

Audiences can expect faithful renditions of beloved hits like Just Like Heaven, Lovesong and Boys Don’t Cry, alongside carefully selected deep cuts that showcase the band’s musical evolution and emotional range. Every performance is meticulously curated to honour the spirit of The Cure while offering a fresh, intimate perspective.

“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.”

Tobias Celebrates The Cure is now available for booking at venues, festivals and private events across Queensland and beyond. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the sound, this live tribute promises to be a captivating journey through one of alternative music’s most enduring legacies.
