The Cult are set to embark on ‘The 8424 Tour’ in celebration of their 40th anniversary.
Fans can expect to hear songs from all 11 albums in their discography when the post-punk legends bring their raucous live shows to the UK and Europe in October and November.
Guitarist Billy Duffy said: “Following up from the great energy of Death Cult 8323 shows, I’m looking forward to bringing that sense of celebration of the band’s music, and the communion with our fans, to Cult 8424. CFFC. Let the ceremony commence!”
The UK run kicks off in Leicester on October 21, before heading to Manchester, Edinburgh, Bristol, and London, concluding with a date at the legendary Royal Albert Hall on November 4.
Tickets go on general sale on Friday, April 19 at 10am BST via https://myticket.co.uk/artists/the-cult.
The ‘She Sells Sanctuary’ rockers celebrated the 30th Anniversary of their ‘Sonic Temple’ album with a sold-out world tour and Box Set in 2019.
The Cult have had various lineups over the years; the longest-serving members are vocalist Ian Astbury and guitarist Billy Duffy, who are also the band’s two main songwriters.
After a six-year hiatus, the ‘Spiritwalker’ hitmakers returned with new album ‘Under The Midnight Sun’ in 2022.
Late last year, the duo reformed Death Cult for a series of live performances including a one-off US date at The Theatre at The Ace Hotel in Los Angeles, as well as a limited UK run, including a series of sold out shows at the Brixton Electric.
