The Cult, one of the most influential bands of their time, have announced a tour of Australia and New Zealand.
On their ‘8424’ tour, The Cult will celebrate their 40th anniversary in the two countries, playing shows in Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide, Perth, Christchurch, and Auckland this November (see full dates below).
Tickets to the tour go on sale to the general public on Monday, July 8th at 10am local time. The Telstra pre-sale begins on Tuesday, July 2nd at 10am local time.
The upcoming shows will see The Cult perform songs spanning their 11-album discography, commemorating four decades of iconic hits.
Pioneers in post-punk, hard-rock, and experimentalism, The Cult hold a significant place in music history, influencing countless other bands across several genres.
The Cult have kept going strong over the decades, releasing their 11th studio album, Under the Midnight Sun, in 2022. The album reached #15 on the UK Albums Chart.
Under the Midnight Sun earned positive reviews from critics, with Louder Sound hailing the band for delivering a “late-career gem” with their “punchy” 11th album.
