In April 2022, I expressed my hopes that Ian Astbury and Billy Duffyโ€™s upcoming new material would emerge in time for an impending, mid-decade 40th anniversary tour from U.K. rock favorite The Cult

Six months later, Under the Midnight Sun released as the bandโ€™s first album on Black Hill Records, which it signed to in 2020. The LP, described as an โ€œemotionally charged record with sweeping, stadium-filling guitar linesโ€ will get some shine when The Cultโ€”which usually rocks Mahaffey or Jannusโ€”performs at Ruth Eckerd for the first time ever.

Tickets to see The Cult play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Saturday, May 20 are still available and start at $39.50.
