THE CULT to Perform Select Dates in North America and the UK
By: Kaitlin Milligan Apr. 09, 2019
In recognition of the forthcoming re-issue of THE CULT's multi-platinum-selling Sonic Templealbum on Beggars Banquet Records, the British group that's led by Ian Astbury and guitaristBilly Duffy will embark on select dates in North America and the UK starting May 2 inHouston, TX (itinerary below). Tickets are on sale now for the "A Sonic Temple" tour and available here. Meanwhile, the band expects to announce another block of dates very soon for2019/2020.
The set list will draw from THE CULT's 10 studio albums with the centerpiece being a super set that's focused on the core songs from Sonic Temple; some of these songs have not been performed since the album (their fourth) was originally released in 1989. Sonic Temple--a pivotal, game-changing album that brought together the alternative and hard rock audiences--will be reissued in a 30th anniversary edition by Beggars Banquet Records (exact release date TBA). Sonic Temple features the singles "Fire Woman," "Edie (Ciao Baby)," "Sweet Soul Sister" and "Sun King." Read a new Q&A with Astbury and Duffy below.
Each show will be a gathering and celebration for Cult fans--an opportunity to come together for one night--an event that will be memorable for all who attend. In Los Angeles only, whereAstbury and Duffy live, the band has created something extra special. The Greek Theatre will become "A Sonic Temple" on June 15 with a diverse multi-act bill that has roots in THE CULTlead singer Ian Astbury's pioneering pre-Lollapalooza festival "A Gathering of the Tribes" (1990).Prayers, Zola Jesus and Vowws will join headliners THE CULT.
