The Cult will embark on a North American tour this fall, playing their own music and songs from their earlier iteration, Death Cult.
The Ian Astbury-fronted group described the upcoming trek as “a communal gathering of the tribes featuring sets from Death Cult and the Cult” in a press release.
The three-week tour begins on Oct. 9 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and concludes on Oct. 30 in Los Angeles. Dark electronic act Patriarchy will open the shows.
Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday. You can see the full list of dates below.
Who Are Death Cult?
Upon forming in 1983, the Cult briefly performed under the name Death Cult, which stemmed from Astbury’s previous band, Southern Death Cult. They released a self-titled EP and the single “Gods Zoo” in 1983 before rechristening themselves as the Cult in early 1984.

In August 1984, the Cult released their debut album, Dreamtime. The song “A Flower in the Desert” was a reworked version of Southern Death Cult’s “Flowers in the Forest.” Their next album, 1985’s Love, granted the band their commercial breakthrough, reaching the Top 5 in the United Kingdom thanks to the hit singles “She Sells Sanctuary,” “Rain” and “Revolution.”
The Cult released their most recent album, Under the Midnight Sun, in 2022.
