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.
