The Cult's Ian Astbury and Billy Duffy are performing some of their earliest material when they revive their old incarnation Death Cult for a tour of the UK this month.
Frontman Astbury formed the goth-punk outfit Southern Death Cult in Braford in 1981, but after a year and one album the group disbanded and the singer teamed up with guitarist Duffy to form Death Cult, issuing a self titled EP and a single God's Zoo in 1983.
The setlist for these 40th anniversary shows will be based around the three phases of the band: from Southern Death Cult, to Death Cult to The Cult’s first two albums: Dreamtime (1984) and Love (1985), which spawned the hits She Sells Sanctuary and Rain.
The band have since released 11 full-length albums, including Electric and Sonic Temple.Their last studio outing was Under The Midnight Sun in 2022.
