Prepare your hairspray and eyeliner: The Cure is doing a North American tour.

The English rockers have announced that they will play a 25 date tour in North America in 2016. It's the group's first tour across the pond in eight years.

Scottish post-punk band the Twilight Sad will serve as the opener on tour.

Only three shows have been announced so far, with more dates to be released in Jan. 2016:

The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on May 22. Presale tickets will be available on Oct. 7.

UIC Pavilion in Chicago on June 10. Presale tickets available on Oct. 8.

Madison Square Garden in New York City. Presale tickets available on Oct. 8.

The Cure haven't totally avoided North America over the past eight years. The band has come over for various festivals, including three dates for last year's Riot Fest, which takes place in Toronto, Chicago and Denver. They also headlined festivals like Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits in 2013.

Here's the poster for the upcoming tour.
